The Sacred Fire🔥

May 27, 2026

Laughter echoed through the house, doors constantly opening and closing, music playing somewhere in the background, while towels, snacks, cups, cans, and conversations moved in every direction. Nine excited, bright, energetic high school senior girls boomed through the house along with their friends. Two kids were home in their twenties, one started a new job, and the other was trying to relax. One 14-year-old was wrapped up in a baseball tournament with friends who were staying in a nearby house. This was my Memorial Day weekend. As you can imagine, many energies were converging.

Teenage girls staying up all hours of the night. Crowded pools with beautiful humans scattered along the lakeside. I happily cooked dinner for 20 with a 6 a.m. wake-up call to drive to a tournament the next day.

So much was happening over that weekend, seemingly all at once. And yet, there were moments of spaciousness.

The first morning, I woke to the sunrise peeking through the Ponderosa pines. The sky was a brilliant blue, the perfect backdrop for the sprite green puffs of pine needles. Lying in bed, curled up on my side, I felt overwhelming gratitude for the experience — my healthy body, a comfortable bed, the healing home that offered the foundation for it all, the kids, my family, my friends. The gratitude continued. I began anchoring the codes of my own divinity…my choice of remembering.

I AM a sovereign being of light.

I AM whole.

I AM free.

I AM love.

I AM peace.

I AM worthy.

As I continued anchoring these statements in my mind, my sinuses began to pop with what felt like an audible release. Each time I spoke a mantra in my head, it felt as though something was opening. By the end, my sinuses were completely clear, and I breathed in the simplicity of this miracle.

Of course, it’s because everything is connected—mind, body, and spirit. Awareness brought into form always drops me into joy and the feeling of awe and wonder 💛

Gratitude and “I AM” statements bring us back to the memory of our own uniqueness and divinity. These moments create space in our lives, even amongst the chaos. It’s in the in-between where we have choice — where we can come back to ourselves, breathe, anchor, and remember that we are connected to a brilliant light beyond our understanding.

✨The world does not become still for us. We must learn how to become still within it.✨

The events surrounding these moments were chaotic, loud, fun, confusing, and crazy. They were not frequencies that naturally harmonize with balance and peace. And yet this is our human life. Chaos may not present itself to us as it did for me—many people sharing one space—sometimes it exists within our own mind. We must continually remember that we are the creators of space, and that at any moment we can return to our own inner light — to connect and sit with the frequency of peace moving from the mind to the heart.

It is there that we attune, just like an instrument needing tuning. Our frequency can give off a beautiful harmony or a discordant vibration. When we align with our sovereign harmony, we are in concert with the divine, the simplicity of nature, and the energies that raise our vibration.

It was in the midst of the hustle of the weekend that I dipped away into the forest, taking a moment to soak in the trees, feel the breeze, and drink from a natural spring. These quiet moments remind me of why I’m here as I seek and find the balance to infuse my light amidst the chaos.

I am learning that maybe the sacred was never found in the absence of chaos, but in the moments we chose to return to ourselves within it.

With Love,
