While Dawna’s Away, the Friends Will Play | The Garden Pathway, June 15th, 2025
Issue 24, Vol III
Welcome to the Garden, my friend!
The Garden is a sacred space for slow blooming, gentle remembering, and joyful return.
It’s a soul-safe sanctuary where deep-feeling humans come to pause, reflect, and reconnect… with themselves, with Spirit, and with the soft rhythms of becoming.
Think of it as your invitation to step out of performance… and into presence.
Here, you’ll find:
✨ Soulful reflections and stories
✨ Gentle seasonal rhythms
✨ Playful invitations from the Divine Inner Child
✨ Creative prompts, sacred silliness, and quiet truths
✨ Updates from the Sacred Playhouse & Curio Shoppe
✨ And the company of kindreds walking a similar path
💛 Free subscribers receive all public posts and a soft touch of garden magic.
💛 Paid subscribers are lovingly welcomed into the full ecosystem… early access to offerings, deeper reflections, play prompts, community threads, and special gifts along the way.
No pressure. Just presence.
Read what calls to you. Rest when it doesn’t. And return whenever your soul needs sanctuary.
I’m so honored you’re here.
Welcome, beautiful soul. Let’s grow together.
Hello beautiful soul,
As you read this, I’m off-grid and offline, wrapped in pine trees, long skies, and a whole lot of soul stillness. My phone is tucked away, my body is resting, and my nervous system is exhaling after so many seasons of holding it all together.
I’ll be unplugged through June 16th, but I couldn’t step away without sending you this:
✨ You are not behind.
✨ You are not too much.
✨ You are not too late.
You are becoming… exactly as you’re meant to, in your own sacred rhythm.
While I’m resting, the Garden is still blooming in the background… but the Sacred Playhouse is very much awake. And a few of our favorite friends couldn’t resist sending in a few joy-soaked updates from their corners of the realm.
Bibble — Breaking Joy News from the Rainbow Nook
“UM HI HI HI! EXCUSE ME, have you giggled today??”
Reports of spontaneous twirling and glitter confetti are up 300% this week. Bibble recommends unstructured play, reckless joy, and at least one dance party per day.
✨ Reminder from Bibble: “Your weird is sacred. Your joy is enough… just as it is.”

Snugs — Comfort Alert from the Cuddle Corner
“Hello. It’s me. Snugs. I brought tea and a soft blanket. We’re gonna be okay.”
Snuggle levels are peaking. Cuddle corners are expanding. All emotional weather is welcome. Rest is trending.
🫖 Reminder from Snugs: “You don’t have to do more to be worthy of gentleness. You just have to be.”

Dave the Gnome: Weather Report from the Garden Bench
“Hi, friend! It’s ME! DAVE!”
Today’s forecast: 72% chance of emotional breakthroughs disguised as naps, with surprise snack storms rolling in by late afternoon. Pigeons are in a deeply philosophical mood. The soil is good. The vibes are weird… but in the best way.
🍄 Reminder from Dave: “Shedding doesn’t have to be sexy. It just has to be real. Now pass the jam, eh?”

Tumbleton — Memory Report from the Quiet Garden Path
(soft trumpet sound + a slow, steady blink)
“Even when you forget, Love remembers.”
Tumbleton’s been making gentle rounds through the Playhouse Garden, tucking feathers and memory-stones into quiet places. He’s been humming lullabies into the wind and whispering truth to every soul who thought they had to earn their worth.
🌿 Reminder from Tumbleton: “You’re not broken. You’re just becoming.”
