As a Matter of Thought

09/12/2026

September is a wonderful time to pause—not to judge how well we’ve done with our plans for the year, but to notice where we are now.

What are you proud of?
What has changed?
What no longer matters?
And what would you love to experience, deepen, begin, or bring more of into your life before the year ends?

This Sunday at Raleigh Sister Circle, we’re creating space for exactly that.

We’ll reflect on the year so far, celebrate, release, and look ahead to what we want to cultivate as we move into fall and winter. We'll also explore a simple and powerfully effective way of approaching whatever comes next—one you can carry into your intentions, decisions, relationships, challenges, and everyday life.

And, as always, there will be meaningful conversation, connection, reflection, and a little creativity along the way. 💜

Sunday, September 13, 1:30–3:30 pm
Souly Holistic (5540 McNeely Drive, Suite 101, Raleigh)
Come as early as 1:00pm to connect with others.

Whether you've been coming for years, haven't joined us in a while, or have been thinking about attending your very first Sister Circle, you are welcome.

Where do grown women go to make meaningful new friendships? It's a question I think more women are asking than we realize. We have places to work. Places to shop. Places to exercise.

There are plenty of places for small talk but far fewer where women can simply sit together, talk about things that matter, learn from one another, laugh, reflect, and feel genuinely connected.

That's part of why Raleigh Sister Circle exists.

Our New Moon gatherings offer women a welcoming space for connection, personal and spiritual growth, reflection, intention, and community.

You don't need to know anyone. You don't need to follow a particular spiritual path. And you definitely don't need to have life figured out.

Just come as you are.

If you've been looking for your people, perhaps you'll find a few of them here. 💛

Here's a question for you:

What do you know today that you couldn't have known ten—or twenty—years ago?

Not because someone taught you - but because you lived it.

And here's another question:

Who might benefit from the wisdom you've gained?

At September's Grateful Gathering, we are exploring the theme, "Seek and Share Wisdom"—how we cultivate wisdom, where we find it, what life has taught us, and how the wisdom we've gained can become a gift to others.

We are all still students, and each one of us has something to teach.

Come share some of your wisdom—and perhaps leave carrying a little of someone else's.

Today, I express my gratitude for all those who contribute to our lives and our world through the work they do.

When you stop to think about it, there is a long, often unseen line of people behind almost everything we eat, use, enjoy, and depend upon each day—from those who grow and make things, to those who transport, stock, sell, repair, teach, care, create, serve, and support.

Most of us will never know their names, yet their work touches our lives every single day.

So today, a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone whose work, in ways large and small, makes my life and our shared world possible.

Happy Labor Day!

You don't have to know HOW something is going to happen to hold an intention for WHAT you want to happen.

That's one of the things we practice in our Power of Eight group. For a few minutes, we stop problem-solving. We stop rehearsing everything that's wrong. We stop trying to figure out the path from here to there.

Instead, as a group, we focus our attention on a desired outcome for one person and imagine that outcome as already accomplished.

It is simple and so very powerful. Come experience it for yourself at tomorrow's Power of Eight Intention Group, September 3, 12:00-1:30pm, at Souly Holistic (5540 McNeely Drive, Suite 101, Raleigh)

Newcomers are always welcome.

What if the answer you're looking for isn't going to come from thinking harder?

Most of us have been trained to solve problems with our minds. We analyze... Research... Make lists... Consider every possible outcome...All useful things,but eventually, more thinking can just become…more thinking.

One of the practices I've been exploring through HeartMath is learning to become quiet and coherent enough to access another source of information: the wisdom of my heart.

The next time you're wrestling with a decision or problem, try this:

💛 Acknowledge what's happening and how you feel.
💛 Bring your attention to your heart and breathe slowly through the heart area.
💛 Recall a feeling of appreciation, care, or compassion.
💛 Then ask: What is another perspective I haven't considered?
💛 Get quiet and notice what arises.

Don't demand an answer. Simply listen.

Sometimes what comes is a thought. Sometimes it's a feeling, a sense of expansion or relief, or simply a new way of seeing the situation.

The journey from your head to your heart isn't about thinking less. It's about trusting more.

What Is Reiki?

You don't have to understand Reiki to experience it.

Reiki is a gentle energy practice intended to support relaxation, balance, and well-being. During a Reiki session, there's nothing you have to accomplish, figure out, or even believe.

You simply receive.

People experience Reiki differently. Some notice warmth, tingling or other sensations. Others simply experience a deep sense of relaxation and calm.

Our Lunchtime Reiki Share gives you an opportunity to both experience Reiki and learn more about it in a relaxed, supportive environment.

No Reiki training or previous experience is required.

Sometimes one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves is stop doing for a little while and allow ourselves to receive. 💛

Come curious. Come tired. Come exactly as you are.

Full Moon Sister Circle this Saturday...Join us as we gather beneath the dreamy, intuitive waters of the Pisces Full Moon. ♓️🌊

Pisces invites us to trust our intuition, honor our sensitivity, and believe in our dreams, but it can also reveal where we escape, procrastinate, or unconsciously self-sabotage what our soul truly desires.

Together, we will enter a sacred Full Moon releasing ceremony to let go of the behaviors, fears, and repeating patterns standing between us and our hopes, dreams, and wishes.

Come ready to soften, release, dream and make space for what is waiting to flow into your life. 💜⭕️✨
