Morning Blessing

May this morning remind you
of the person you are
beneath the noise of a busy life.
May the pieces of yourself
you once set aside
find their way gently back to you.
May your heart feel honest,
even when it is not entirely steady.
May the day welcome your presence,
presence of a sacred soul
on its challenging journey
May you remember that
even the smallest efforts matter,
even when you cannot yet see
the ripples they are creating in your life.
May you rise with peace,
and with the sweet freedom
to be who you truly are.
And may you remember:
you do not have
to become yourself again.
Somewhere beneath it all,
you already are.

Join us. 🤗

Sunday is the last day to say yes to yourself.

Women's Autumn Retreat, Oct 1-4, on an actual island on Bay Lake in Deerwood, Minnesota. Four days of women who get it. No performing. No explaining why you're tired. Just trees, water, good food, and people who will sit with you in the real stuff.

We need our final headcount to the retreat center, so this is truly it let us know by Sunday. If you've been circling this one, we'd love to have you at the table.

Comment IN and we will be in touch

Perfect Timing for the last Journey of the season. Join us September 15-19 for a Boundary Waters Adventure.

~Peak Fall Foliage 2026~

In the Upper Midwest, the dry summer will likely lead to an early-to-average peak for fall foliage. Trees are already beginning to change color in some areas as they experience stress from the lack of moisture. As a result, peak colors could arrive in as little as 2–3 weeks. Farther south, beneficial rainfall over the past few months should support a more average timeframe for peak foliage, along with more vibrant colors than those expected farther north. The absence of early frosts should also help preserve the quality and intensity of the fall colors. The primary negative factors to watch will be periods of windy conditions, which could cause leaves to fall prematurely, as well as the potential for early-season snow across parts of the Corn Belt in October. Overall, however, conditions appear favorable for a relatively good fall foliage season, particularly farther south.
