Greetings!

May 2026

Simplicity. It's a powerful, underrated concept. As spring bursts out of winter here in the Midwest, there are lots of pauses to watch Mother Nature transform and start over. It all begins with simple changes. A touch of green grass, a few buds on trees, and before you know it the world looks different.

Taking a cue from these spring awakenings, this month I encourage you to think about simplifying your life to transform it. Because simplifying is revitalizing!

I've been reflecting on a time in my life when I started over. I encourage you to watch my short video about simplifying and leaving things behind. You can watch HERE or keep scrolling for more information about it.

And thank you to all the people who attended the Feng Shui Plant class I recently taught at Lost in the Forrest. It was a big hit and sold out completely. I know several people weren’t able to get in or had scheduling conflicts, so I’m planning to offer it again.

The class was a lovely experience—an engaged, warm group with great participation, and the setting at Lost in the Forrest was perfect (see the pictures below!). Many thanks to Lost in the Forrest for hosting. They have a beautiful store and offer many workshops. Check out their website here: https://www.lostintheforrestco.com/

Warmly,
