A Reflection: Coming Home to Nature's Seasons
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains (In Spanish translates to the “Blood of Christ”) —are just behind our home. This mountain range is the southernmost subrange of the Rocky Mountains. They run from southern Colorado to northern New Mexico. I hike or ride a horse in them most days, and when there isn’t snow on the ground the earth is a blood red color.
At 57 years old, I feel like I’ve returned to the beauty and rhythms of nature.

Clear the Clutter: Learn The Power of an Affirmation
Allie nudged me (to what we refer to) as to ‘Kondo’ the space. Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up is a guide we love. Over the past few months, Allie had focused on clearing the clutter from her apartment and was fresh with the ‘what sparks joy mindset’.
I believe affirmations go hand-in-hand with ‘clear the clutter’ concept. To use an affirmation is about getting organized, just instead of kitchen counters, it’s with our words and intentions— it’s about saying more with less. An affirmation is a short, clear, positive statement that creates clarity, forms intention, and guides you. These short positive statements asks you to cut through the clutter of your life and focus your mind on one essential truth at a time.

It is completely possible to feel good. Think of a time when you are at your best—plenty of energy, clarity, and just plain happy? To feel this way is your natural state. Give your power to what and who empowers you. Choose your family. Choose your experience. Choose your rituals.
