You don’t have to carry it all alone | The Garden Pathway, June 22nd, 2025
Issue 25, 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 friend,
If you’re holding something right now… grief, fear, pressure, uncertainty… and still managing to show up with a gentle smile or quiet grace… we see you.
Sometimes the hardest things we carry are the ones we can’t name out loud.
The things that tighten in the chest. The prayers that sound like silence.
The ache that lingers under “I’m fine.”
This space… The Garden, The Playhouse, this circle of soft seekers…is here to say:
✨ You are not alone.
✨ You are not invisible.
✨ You are still deeply loved, even when your light feels dim.
You don’t have to be fully okay to be fully seen.
You don’t have to be fixed to be worthy of joy, rest, or connection.
Let this be your permission to breathe. To soften.
To let someone hold you, for a change, even if it’s just through these words.
A truth I’m anchoring this week
Here is a truth I’ve been anchoring into recently. Maybe you are, too…
Letting go isn’t weakness.
It isn’t failure.
It’s not the end of hope.
It’s choosing relief over performance.
It’s choosing trust over tension.
It’s choosing to stop carrying what’s never been yours alone.
You don’t have to keep it all together to be worthy of softness.
You don’t have to prove your strength to rest.
You don’t have to be fearless to move forward.
Journal Prompts for the Soul-led
If you're navigating a tender in-between…
If something you once held with certainty now feels shaky…
If you're quietly asking, “Can I really keep carrying all of this?”
Come closer, my friend.
This space is for you.
Not to fix or force, but to witness what’s rising and to let your inner knowing speak.
Here are some questills for your heart to hold:
“What am I still trying to hold together… that’s actually asking to fall apart?”
What would trusting the process actually look like right now?
What truth have I been whispering to myself, hoping someone else would say out loud?
If softness became my strategy… what would shift?
Let this be a safe page for what you’ve been afraid to say out loud.
No judgment. No pressure. Just truth, softly spoken.
You don’t have to be fearless.
You only have to be honest.
And remember:
You’re not unraveling… you’re returning.
And if your soul is whispering for a little more support…
You’re invited to schedule a Wayfinder or Heartlight Session—gentle, sacred space to meet yourself with clarity, tenderness, and grace.
We’re here with you.
Always.
The Path to Possibility with Melvin Has Begun…
This week, Melvin the Mostly Mystic and I kicked off a new Wayfinder Wednesday series inside the community: The Path to Possibility.
It’s a gentle unfolding - part soul map, part playful meander - crafted to help you reconnect with what’s possible (even if you’re in a season of doubt, fog, or quiet).
Melvin’s wisdom is scrappy, sweet, and utterly sincere. Think: glitter spells, cosmic crumbs, and questions that sneak up on your truth in the best way.
Whether you’re in need of a nudge, a laugh, or just a reminder that you don’t need perfect conditions to begin… this series is for you.

May this week bring you moments of unexpected softness, my friend…
A breeze that knows your name.
A sentence that unlocks a truth.
A moment of quiet where your breath returns.
You don’t have to race the light.
You only have to let it find you.
