A free monthly mind and body connection to help inspire art and create care for the writer.
April 2026 Notes
Showers
Rebecca’s been padding through her backyard this month, trees in blossom, and surprises in her garden. How stable we might feel leaning against a trunk or pressing a cheek to bark.
Spring reminds us: Hope.
Reminds us that trees survive.
Reminds us to hold amazement and wonder.
For April, we soaked in showers—the way they refresh, rebirth, rejuvenate.
We hope you find sprinklings of beauty and love in your backyard, your windowsill, your life.
We hope you hold onto small wonders and amazing moments.
