The Garden Experience Retreat

✨SACRED SOIL REFLECTION…

I STOPPED believing beauty belonged to youth a long time ago.😉

There’s been so much conversation lately about women aging, and I’ve been sitting with how differently we hold aging for women than we do for men.

Why are women expected to remain frozen in the beauty of their youth while simultaneously being blessed with the privilege of growing older?

I don’t want to reclaim the woman I was in my youth. I honor her. She got me here.🙏🏽✨

In this season, I’m gathering my lived experiences and allowing them to ripen into wisdom. I’m embracing the woman I’ve become while remaining curious about the woman I’m still becoming.✨

Beauty evolves.
Sensuality evolves.
Purpose evolves.
WE evolve.

Perhaps aging was never meant to make women invisible.
Perhaps it is an invitation to finally SEE ourselves beyond the gaze of others.

New Month. New Revelation. New Outlook. 🍂

I’m still becoming. 🌱✨ Hello October…

🌻Sacred Soil Reflection…

I’m in a season of reflection.✨

Not because I’m living in the past or rehearsing regrets.

Reflection calls in my wisdom. It allows me to look back and gather what life has taught me.

And one thing I know for sure:
Staying in a dead situation only prolongs your suffering.

If you’re remaining somewhere, or with someone, waiting for them to change, remember this:

The only person you have the power to change is YOU!

Sometimes the change we’re waiting for isn’t theirs to make.
It’s ours.

🌱 Seeds for the Soul

🌻Sacred Soil Reflection…

In this season of my life, REST is my spiritual practice.✨🙏🏽

I’m learning the sacred art of self-soothing through rest.

Stillness.
Quiet.
Solitude.
Reflection.
Being STILL.

We live in a culture of constant noise. Constant activity. Constant stimulation. Constant access to one another.

And sometimes we don’t realize how much that noise has dysregulated our nervous systems until we finally become still.

REST is teaching me that I don’t have to respond to everything.
Fix everything.
Carry everything.
Or figure everything out today.

When I become still, the internal chatter quiets. My spirit settles. Clarity returns. And I can hear God more clearly.

Perhaps you don’t need another distraction.🫶🏽

Perhaps you don’t need to push harder.

Perhaps your soul is asking you to REST.✨

🌱 Seed for the Soul:
Rest is not the absence of progress. Sometimes REST is where the deepest work begins.

✨🙏🏽SACRED SOIL REFLECTION…

I’ve been sitting with John 3:16 differently these days.

“For God so loved the world…”

But what happens when your circumstances don’t feel like love?

When doors close.
Loss finds you.
Prayers seem unanswered.
And life looks nothing like you imagined.

Maybe you’ve quietly wondered, God, where are You in all of this?

I see you. Because I’ve wondered too.

And here’s what I’m learning:

Your circumstances are not the measure of God’s love for you.

We can hold both truths:

This hurts, and God still loves me.
I don’t understand, and God is still here.

Don’t let the noise of this season convince you that Yahweh has left you.

God loved.
God gave.
God remains.

Your circumstances may have changed.
His love has not. 🌱

A cup of comfort. 🍂☕️🤎

There’s something about Autumn that makes me reach for a warm cup of tea. As the air gets cooler and the seasons begin to shift, tea has always been a source of comfort for me.

Today, that comfort is a warm cup of SOGO Pure. 🍂✨

🌻Sacred Soil Reflection | IN THE FLOW✨

As Autumn 🍂 approaches, lately I can FEEL the seasons of my life shifting.

Just like nature, the seasons of our lives don’t ask for our permission to change. Sometimes change arrives whether we’re ready or not.

Doors are closing. Familiar things are falling away. And there are moments when I want to reach back and hold on to what I’ve known.🥹

But something happens when I become STILL.🙏🏽

In the quiet, beneath the uncertainty, I sense the gentle movement of the Holy Spirit inviting me to RELEASE. SURRENDER. TRUST.

I’m discovering that being IN THE FLOW doesn’t mean I’m comfortable. It doesn’t mean I’m fearless or that I know what’s coming next.

It means I’m learning to move WITH GOD, even when everything around me is changing.✨🙏🏽

And perhaps that’s what surrender feels like.
Not having all the answers.
Not knowing exactly where the path leads.
But trusting the One who is walking beside me.🙏🏽

I AM IN THE FLOW. ✨🙏🏽

What is shifting in your life? And what might happen if you stopped resisting long enough to become still and listen?

🌻Sacred Soil Reflection

Silence Is My Weapon.✨

Lately, I’ve been discovering that silence is my weapon. It’s where I feel GOD the most.

GOD shows up in the early morning hours of my silence, in my quiet time. Ironically, it’s when I am still and quiet that I hear Him the loudest.

I’m in a season where the noise around me would lead me to believe that GOD isn’t hearing me. Yet, as I surrender and deepen my trust, my inner listening becomes clearer.

I’m learning to move with confidence and clarity, trusting that GOD is right in the midst of my experience, even when I cannot see what’s unfolding.
You see, silence isn’t the absence of GOD. Sometimes, it’s where His presence becomes most evident.

My invitation to you is simple: BE STILL.✨

Sit in the quiet. Release the noise. Surrender the need to figure everything out.
Allow GOD to speak. 🗣️

Sometimes, the clarity we seek isn’t found in doing more, but in becoming still enough to listen. 🌱✨

🌻Sacred Soil Reflection …

Lately, I have found myself in what I’m calling my Walk on Water Faith Era.🙏🏽

A season where I am releasing all resistance. Resistance to thinking I know the plan that GOD has for my life.

You see, Walk on Water Faith requires that we step completely out of our comfort zone, having NO idea what is coming next. Just holding on to the TRUTH that GOD has me. That GOD is my parachute.

And here’s where I find myself. I have ALREADY stepped out of the boat.
I am standing on the water, holding excitement in one hand and terror in the other.

I am discovering that just because you have FAITH doesn’t mean FEAR won’t creep in.

And perhaps this is the deepest part of my journey right now. Learning to hold FEAR and FAITH simultaneously. To acknowledge the fear without allowing it to lead me.

Because my FAITH assures me that even when afraid, I am not led by my feelings.

Fear is a feeling, but FAITH is my belief and the TRUTH in which I stand.

I don’t know what comes next. I don’t know how this chapter will unfold. But I have already stepped out, and I am learning what it means to TRUST GOD while standing on unfamiliar waters.

I may be holding on to the hem of GOD’s garment, but I’m HOLDING ON nonetheless.🥺🙏🏽

And for today, that’s where I am.
Standing on the water. Feeling the fear. Choosing FAITH. 🙏🏽🌊✨

✨Sacred Soil Declaration
Taking My Power Back 🔥

There comes a season when we must take our POWER back!

A season when we become so deeply rooted in the truth of who GOD has called us to BE that we no longer allow anything or anyone to convince us otherwise.

I AM TAKING MY POWER BACK!🙏🏽

I cast down every stronghold, every limiting belief, and every voice of the enemy that attempts to convince me that I am anything less than who GOD has called me to BE.

In this season, I am reclaiming my POWER, rooted in my Divine Identity and fully embracing the FIRE 🔥 that burns within me.

I stand in my true calling with COURAGE, BOLDNESS, and RADIANCE.

I stand unapologetically in my Divine Oneness with GOD, fully aware of my Divine Feminine Power and the sacred authority bestowed upon me by the MOST HIGH.
I no longer diminish my light to make others comfortable. I no longer surrender my peace to maintain connections that require me to abandon myself.
My energy is SACRED. Access to me is intentional.
Not everyone is entitled to my presence, my power, or the sacred space I carry within me.
I am discerning about what I nurture, where I pour, and whom I allow into my garden.
I am no longer available for anything that requires me to betray the woman GOD has called me to BE.

I stand rooted in my truth.
I rise in my POWER.
And I embrace the fullness of who I AM becoming.
This is my season to RISE! 🔥

✨🌱SACRED SOIL REFLECTION | A Season of Closed Doors

I am in a season of Closed Doors.

Everywhere I look, GOD is closing doors. And the harder I try to return, remain, or even unknowingly force a door open, my inner voice keeps whispering:
RELEASE. SURRENDER. TRUST.

I believe GOD closes doors because He knows we would remain wayyyyy past the season.🥹

Oftentimes, WE remain long after the season has ended.

The beautiful thing I love so much about nature is that nature never HOLDS ON to seasons. Nature gently eases into the next season with warmth and grace.

As I witness the seasons changing, my intention is to surrender, release, relax, and trust that this season is all a part of my Be-Coming. ✨🦋

With Love, Light & Sacred Intention.🤍✨
