Happy Summer (to my friends in the northern hemisphere . . . and winter to those of you in the southern hemisphere).
I’ve been enjoying some extra garden time, nibbling on berries while watching the birds feast along with me, and considering how summer extends such a beautiful invitation to slow down and savor the sweetness of life.
This season calls us closer to the earth, closer to the present moment, and closer to what truly matters.
new episode: The Wisdom for These Times Lives in the Earth
This week on the Luminary Life Podcast, I’m leaning into a conversation about 3 wisdom messages from crystals and stones to help navigate these changing times.
Again and again, I find myself reminded of this truth . . . so much of the wisdom for this time lives within the earth.
The crystals and stones hold ancient records. They carry a depth of wisdom and knowing that can help us remember who we are, orient to what matters, and participate more consciously in the world we are creating.
In this episode, I share three core messages:
- Enter the Earth
- Attune to Your Inner Compass
- Embody Your Radiance / Light
We also lean into conversation about vision . . . from what we are creating to how we are called to participate in that creation with presence, integrity, and heart?

on the home front . . .
Chris and I are officially in our summer slowdown, enjoying time between home and the forest. (please check below for summer slowdown ship dates)
And, life has been tender too. Chris and I are navigating his post-surgery mend. He is doing remarkably well (big gratitude for the love and healing vibes you’ve been sending our way) . . . and this season reminds us that healing, much like gardening, asks for patience, presence, and a deep trust in what is unfolding.
a soft message to close
May you listen closely to the wisdom rising through the earth. May your inner compass guide you with clarity. And may you embody your light in ways that quietly and powerfully shape the world to come.
with lots of love,
Lori
