Coming This Summer: Garden Chats – A Mindful Living Series

There’s something quietly powerful about pausing with nature—about letting the warmth of the sun, the hum of bees, and the fragrance of blooming flowers remind us that life doesn’t have to be rushed.

This summer, I’m inviting you to join me in the garden for a new kind of gathering.

Garden Chats: A Summer Series of Mindful Living is a weekly YouTube Live experience where we slow down together. Starting June 22 and continuing through the end of summer, these free, heart-centered chats are open to anyone seeking gentle connection, reflection, and a breath of peace.

No script. No pressure. Just space.

What to Expect

Bring a cup of tea, your curiosity, or simply your quiet presence. Each week, I’ll go live from my garden to share thoughts on mindful living, healing, and being present with what is. Sometimes we’ll explore simple practices; other times, we’ll just talk about the real stuff—grief, growth, gratitude, and everything in between.

The days will vary, so make sure you’re subscribed to my YouTube channel and have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a session.

Why the Garden?

The garden teaches patience. It reminds us to root, to bloom in our own time, and to trust in cycles of rest and renewal. It’s the perfect backdrop for conversations that nourish the soul.

You’re Invited

This is for you if you’re craving calm. If you want to reconnect with yourself. If you’re ready to welcome a little more meaning and stillness into your days.

We begin June 22 and continue through September 22. Let’s spend the summer together, one mindful chat at a time. Subscribe here and be sure to turn on notifications so you’ll know when I am on live!

With warmth and wildflowers,
Stacie

August is Abundance

/ embracingspirit / Leave a comment

According to the Cambridge dictionary, abundance is defined as an amount that is more than enough.

Have any of you noticed how much nature reminds us of that same bounty that is available? The constantly changing and growing plants tell me that the same extraordinary potential exists within me. I see how the animals gather and forage what they need and this reminds me that everything I need is right here. I am grateful for the rain and the amazing colors that surround me. My garden is a perfect example to me of “more than enough”– the green beans and cucumbers this year may just feed the neighborhood! Oh, and I made my first ever batch of chokecherry jelly and it is amazing.

For years I have focused on creating a more abundant life and the ways in which that has all happened marvels me on a daily basis. Some may think of abundance as simply financial bounty, but I have come to see it as so much more.

For me abundance shows up in the random acts of kindness I receive, the support I consistently have for my classes, my friendships, the magnitude of joy in my life, colors everywhere, laughter that fills a room, a belly full of food, and enough money for me to live happily and generously.

As we come into the long, and usually hot month of August, I encourage you to look for the bounty in your own life that exist all around you….Simple things like lemonade, lazy afternoons in the hammock, delicious ice cream, sunflowers, sweet watermelon, a basket of veggies, the feel of a breeze against our cheek, the laughter of children chasing the ice cream truck and much more.

When we recognize all that truly IS, we can shed the notion that there is not enough.

Follow me for more goodness!
