Mundanely Magical Monday: The Season of Grounding

Grounding has become one of those wellness words we toss around constantly — as if touching the earth or stepping barefoot into the grass is a magic pill to settle our nervous system.

Yes: the earth does have a resonance.
And yes: standing barefoot on the earth does do something.

Mundanely Magical Mondays: The Season of Protecting Your Peace

This time of year has a way of pulling us in every direction — gatherings, decisions, lists, expectations.
