What a difference one word can make.

This morning I was feeling some dread about Saturday chores.

I decided to watercolor a little background and call these chores what they are: ways to nurture my beautiful life.

More and more I am drawn to how simple pleasure and satisfaction can be when I decide to approach it from ‘more than enough’, instead of ‘never enough’.

I’m reminded that life is always, always, always giving to me, to us.

That my only job is to keep waking up from the trance of lack that so many controlling, oppressive forces feed on, and come to my senses by softening, opening, receiving the wild abundance that’s here, now.

How has pleasure simplified for you over time?

How do you assume a posture of pleasure and abundance, when so many outside forces try to fishhook you into fear and lack?

How are you coming to your senses this weekend?

Would love to hear in the comments. 🌹

Big news, friends! Announcing a new arrival. Not a foster, officially adopted.

Meet: Little Man!

He is 6 pounds of sweetness with a healthy spoonful of Chihuahua spice.

Gratitude to all the folks at for all they do to serve the animals in our community.

Swiped to the end to see little man next to his rainbow bridge sister Winnie. You could say I have a type!

Spring has sprung in the Sanctuary! Today we celebrated with an at-home retreat.

We wrote about the texture of spring light, moved our bodies through a practice of unfurling, and enjoyed a ritual of rosemary, blooms, and the egg of new beginnings.

I’m so grateful for these retreats where we get to step out of the rigidity of linear time, and into the round, rhythmic aliveness of seasonal time.

In The Sanctuary, nature writes our curriculum through the unique pleasures of each season.

Coming up this month we’ve got:

🌷A live workshop on creating The Aromatic Home

🕯️ A tutorial on how to create a mini aromatherapy charm for each room in your home

🌸 20 minute live Monday meditations with poetry, pleasure, and presence

💋Inspiring love notes, playlists, private podcasts and more

Come step out of the noise and into a secret garden of luxurious living. We’re waiting with hot tea and open arms.

To all the ways we can put down the clipboard and check boxes, and pick up the flower and the feather. There is magic everywhere.

About a decade ago, after a divorce, I moved from New York City to Asheville, NC.

I was ready to heal. Like, hard.

Asheville is a town practically overflowing with healing practitioners, farmers markets, somatic workshops, hiking trails, and community.

I signed up for yoga teacher training, went to sound baths on Friday nights, and dove into every wellness method I could find.
And I was growing more miserable every single day.

So I did what I thought I needed: I healed harder.

I added more. More tools. More care.

Then one day I needed to fly back to New York for an event. I took a cab into Midtown, and somewhere in the noise and the movement and the aliveness of the city...

My body started to feel like itself again.

What the hell?

I’d been trying to regulate like it was my full time job, and Times Square is where my body could finally land?

Here’s what I’ve since come to understand: almost everything we’ve been handed as women to calm, regulate, and heal ourselves was built on male data.

So if you’ve ever done all the “right” things to find your center, and still some part of you can’t fully get there, there’s nothing wrong with you.

You simply have a different template of needs than the one that’s been handed to you.

Regulation is important ad our foundation.
Radiance is the very nature of your design.

Friday, I’m In Love 💗 I’m thrilled to announce a new offering I’m in love with, that I think you’ll fall in love with too.

This program is new, but like you and I, it has many ancestors.

I’ve been facilitating classes, groups, and one-on-one coaching for over a decade, and this immersion blends the best of everything I’ve ever offered.

The Woman’s Way of Embodiment is a blend of private coaching, feminine relationship, and coming to our senses, to regain trust in your body and fall in love with the wiring of your feminine nervous system.

If you sometimes feel like there’s a pane of glass between you and really feeling your life...

If you’re ready for more than just calm, and you want to remember what it feels like to come alive...

Maybe you don’t need another tool, book, or practice competing for your attention.

Maybe you need someone to put their attention on YOU for a change.

You can see the big reveal and all the details via the link in my bio. 🎁

We begin in April, and space is limited to ten women.

With excitement,

Mary

As the Buddha once said “All of life - your thoughts, feelings, outcomes, arises from the tip of your intention.”

Now, I know New Year’s Resolutions are out — so 1992.

But I personally love beginning each New Year’s Day with a fresh page in my journal, fresh intentions, and radiant new possibilities.

Have you ever sat down to write a list of desires, intentions, and visions, and ended up exhausted by the list of everything you want to do, change, and become?

I know I have.

In today’s new episode, I’m spilling the Lady Grey on how to turn down the volume on bettering yourself (because you’re already pretty great), and align your intentions with what helps you most radiantly be yourself.

You’ll discover:

🌹 A powerful way to shift from chasing and muscling your way towards change, and invite a more pleasure and seduction based approach

🌹 The #1 killer of every seduction (be it the seduction a person, a dream, or the next cup of coffee) and it’s softer, more inviting antidote

🌹How to cultivate a relational dance between you and your intentions, and form an enduring partnership between you and the intentions that call to you

High beams on—radiance full wattage. Hit the link in my profile and tune in.

Love,
Mary

Hope. On this post election morning, may we be not ashamed for having hoped. What was hoped for is not lost. Just taking a different route, like water finding a way where there is no way.

I am currently in Asheville, NC, packing up the last of my things to move to California. This morning, I sat outside amongst falling leaves showering down around my shoulders. As I looked up at the sky, a single leaf floated down and booped me on the nose, like one of my playful foster pups giving me a nudge. I laughed.

Looking up at the vastness of the sky, feeling the rootedness of these trees that survived Hurricane Helene, I am reminded that human systems of power are not our higher power. Nature, beauty, connection, justice--these are our higher power. And they are not going away.

A bowl of golden fruit on my kitchen table reminds me of my favorite quote about hope, by Frances Mayes: “Five tender apricots in a blue bowl, a brief and exact promise of things to come.”

Loving, supporting and nurturing your hope,

Mary
