fave wintery things
from my fave month (my birthday!)
A love note from me to you in December (birthday month!). Almost 46, entirely mid-life, and in the joy of Sagittarius season.
I’m always proud of myself for surviving November, and now what’s on my heart is making our life feel even cozier and more peaceful.
You, too?
Let’s lay down the b-word (rhymes with izzy) and choose our hearts and our peace of mind. External forces try to grab us this season, and we get to choose to remember our peace within, and that we get to do it our way. “No need to follow the social script…” as my friend Paul always reminds me.
Everyone benefits from this. My girls and husband won’t have a stressed out mom-wife. I’m proud of this. It’s a small practice over decades—and a practice in remembering again and again that we can shift & create the energy we want, not simply follow.
So let’s have some fun! Enjoy these ideas—some of my favourite cozy wintery things—just for the pure JOY of it.
MARSHMALLOWS
This is all CAPS on purpose. We loveeeee these in our home. The girls love them, and so do the adults!
And yes. You can do this. If I can, you can. They’re so delicious! We love homemade honey marshies. Just plan a little ahead and then have fun! You only need three ingredients, and here’s the recipe. I love popping mine in coffee or my matcha. Super fun for kids’ hot choco.
Must cut in big chunks for the most pleasure!

Cozy Home Vibes
The house feels so so cozy with a holiday diffuser going! My favourites of the moment: 4 drops Hygge in your diffuser, for a little nordic delight;
And, as always, forever and ever, Holiday Peace in the diffuser. A snowy, crisp woodland dream unfolds in your home from 4-6 drops.
Tell me you don’t love a soothing bath.
We’re making essential oil bath salts for all of our teachers, coaches, and neighbours. Couldn’t be simpler! What you need: brown waxed paper sleeve envelopes, Epsom salts (plain), Lavender & Vanilla essential oil, squirt of coconut oil and a sharpie to personalize the message on the envelope! Recipe is here. Oils are here.
Lastly, be with me (and us women!) On Friday 12:30-1:30pm ET. Pause each week to drop-in to some inspiration & reflective time with other women. All from the warmth of your couch, or desk, or wherever you are to take a breather. It’s one of my favourite hours of the week for myself. Watch live, or later in our private portal. This is also a divine gift for a woman in your life. Learn more and subscribe here.
So happy to be here with you, cultivating our inner peace together. If you’re new, welcome.
Sending you a forcefield of love from my heart into yours.
