We've entered the season where stillness is what supports our Glow. Not from the energy of freeze, but choosing intentional pauses and practices that nourish and replenish you from the inside out.
Hi Reader!
Winter blew in like a Yeti this week and suddenly my daily walk includes navigating several inches of snow.
But what's extra notable about this week is that my daily walk streak crossed the 6 YEAR mark on Monday.
I probably should recognize myself a bit more for this level of dedication, but if you're curious I've shared about it in a couple of journal entries.
And on that note, I'm incredibly thrilled to be a featured contributor in the inaugural issue of The Feel Good Daily, created by my business/internet friend Samantha Bilby.

As a new mom, she is learning how to navigate 'all the things' and I hope that my thoughts on how to make movement even in the winter months something that will support a flourishing Glow.

Your Adventure of the Week
We are now in the season of meteorological winter, where we make a shift inward, to slow down.
Not to 'freeze' but intentionally pause, reflect, regroup.
Challenge yourself to observe your energy levels and notice when your Glow is starting to flounder.
I plan on using my next few walks to notice the stillness, the quiet in a world that is coming at us from all sides.
Today I laid down for a few minutes, not to nap but to anchor and recalibrate myself when the 'stop the world, I wanna get off' overwhelm was starting to take over.
After a couple wild and off-routine weeks (and our dog's home grooming gone wildly off the rails), I relished walking back into the coffee shop Monday morning for a work session.
I could feel my Rhythmic and Sovereign Glow replenish by returning to my routine and diving into some business research I've been doing (and it's so freakin' juicy).
If you are finding yourself-
Numbing out instead of tuning in.
Powering through depletion instead of pausing.
It is time to choose actions that nurture a safe stillness in your Glow. Things that support-
Grounded rest
Receptive restoration
Calm presence
Experiment with what this means to you and what your Glow is needing.
What did I do the last time I felt worn out by 'all the things'?
How can I better honor the times I feel tired, drained or out of capacity?
What is a habit I could start to be more consistent about that supports my Glow in multiple ways?
What Glow supporting thing can I do for myself right now?
(That's exactly what the Glow Foundations course was designed to do- help you your Glow in the middle of 'all the things' and know the remedy to support yourself.)
Reader, sending you wishes for creating and claiming moments that restore your Glow and replenish your spirit so that you feel the clarity to do more of what matters and permission to cut out what isn't sustainable.
p.s. this is your nudge to start playing with discovering what supports your glow in a sustainable way. Let me know what is on your list.
Three things that are adding more 'yay' to my day this week-
6️⃣
My walk streak turned 6 this week and I celebrated by... taking a walk!
Our kids have been going through the old photobooks I made when they were younger and gave me the nudge that I have a couple years' worth to catch up on
