Hello, beautiful soul,

This week has been heavy. I know many of us are feeling the weight of recent events, both personally and in the world around us. If you’re feeling emotionally drained or overwhelmed, please know that you’re not alone.

On a personal note, we’ve been navigating the complex maze of systems and insurance to secure the resources and services that my son, Oli, needs for his autism. It’s been a journey that requires so much patience and energy, and I know many of you are going through your own unique challenges right now. It’s been hard to witness the division and fear that seem to be driving us further apart, but I’m holding onto hope that connection and compassion will bring us back together.

Part of me hesitated to send this. I’ve always had that little voice urging me to “keep it together,” to hold back my true thoughts and stay composed. But deep down, I know that showing up as our whole selves is part of what we’re here to do.

So here I am, sharing what’s on my heart. In these uncertain moments, when so much is beyond our control, it’s our inner purpose that keeps us grounded. This work—helping others heal, guiding others to discover their gifts, and creating community—is what calls to me now more than ever. And I believe with all my heart that your work, your voice, and your presence are exactly what the world needs.

To support you in reconnecting with that sense of purpose, I’d like to share a meditation I created for my Soulful Sunday Subscription called “Strength Like a Tree.”

This meditation, paired with journaling prompts, is designed to help you reconnect with your inner strength and resilience, just like a tree that remains grounded even as the winds blow. In this meditation, you’ll visualize yourself as a mighty tree—roots sinking deep into the earth, keeping you stable and strong through the storms of life. As your branches stretch toward the sky, you’ll be reminded of the purpose and dreams that keep you moving forward, no matter what’s happening around you.

I’ve received so much wonderful feedback from those who have used this meditation, and I truly believe it will offer you a moment of peace, grounding, and clarity, especially in times like these.

I see you, I’m with you, and I’m grateful to be on this journey beside you. Let’s keep shining, lifting each other up, and creating a future that reflects the compassion we carry in our hearts. ✨💛

With all my love,

Charity
