Yes, hygge is about warmth, candles and steaming mugs of tea…but it’s also about taking a break, experiencing presence, practicing gratitude and encouraging togetherness. Explore the ways to cultivate both an outer AND an inner coziness!
We’ve just moved into our new home and – shit. is. everywhere. This Thanksgiving story reminds us…sometimes it’s the littlest of things that help us find our calm at the center of the chaos.
Last week my husband and I bought our first house. It’s pretty empty right now while we do all the hard work on the inside. Have you done your OWN inner scrubbing of sorts this fall? Explore the practice of gratitude to fill yourself back up with all the things that nourish and fulfill you!
One of fall’s greatest lessons for us is the idea of letting go. The trees do it every year, and actually so should we! Pair that up with a Full Moon, and you’ve got a double whammy of reasons to start practicing forgiveness, shedding the past, and letting go of everything that no longer serves you – which frees up a whole lotta SPACE for all the goodness that DOES serve and support you.
Every time we forget or miss one of the big lessons of life, life will put a situation right there in front of our faces to remind us. When I wasn’t getting the lesson, Crohn’s disease was the situation that kept reminding me…with a punch in the gut – but also what finally taught me to say: “wow, funny how that all worked out. That was PERFECT.”
There’s no other season that offers the same coziness as fall – warm tea, sweaters and scarves, and beauty all around us. If you want to make going inward and transforming yourself a little less scary and a little more cozy, you can’t beat fall!

The Balsamic Moon brings us face to face with the idea that we must let go of the old in order to make space for the new. It reminds us that new beginnings are fresh and exciting – but they also require a dying (metaphorically perhaps), a closing, a letting go of something that no longer serves us.
