April’s energy was like seasonal whiplash, the springtime rain, snow, warmth, wind waking me up. Personally, 2025 was one big slowdown. Like hitting a speed bump at 40 mph, April jolted me to try things I’ve done before, again.
I’ve added doodling to intuitive healing sessions with these waxy soft set. Crayon-like pens by Kingart just for me? That is certainly a first!
Remember the first days of school each fall, the feeling of supreme angst, that’s how April felt in the best way. Old ideas in a new way, the reality of summer’s fast approach.
Firsts, even if you’ve done something before with a large break, can give you the energy uptick you need.
First Workshop– I’ve taught hundreds of classes at work and for movement. In April I shook off the cobwebs off is best after a long hiatus. Teaching a Root to Rise Workshop felt like a leadership coming home. I’m leading it again in Weston, CT May 16th. I Love a great musical mashup almost as must as a class mash up— it’s Slow Flow, part Oracle Card Pull, Part Visualization.
First Run – I decided to try jogging again, just to feel my body in motion. It was so slow, yet triumphant for the 20 minutes I was able to overcome the fear of never running a first after surgery recovery
.
First Dry Brush – I’m late to this trend, but I’ll be sticking with this very texturally satisfying exfoliating ritual before a shower.

New things are so taxing to our bodies and brains, so I lean on the parts that come naturally. Agendas, speaking, intuition are my skills that give me comfort.
I hope you have many firsts this month to test the waters of what is possible. New Moons help show us opportunities, let’s dive in together.
What can you try?
I’m amazed at my life. I’m celebrating being in People.com again as a Mom on the go. We Asked Moms What Their Favorite Lululemon Clothes and Accessories Are — Here’s What They Swear By
Stopping: Pushing my schedule to exhaustion, physically or otherwise. I’m dropping Pickleball due to my back recovery. Instead, I’m heading back to Yoga. It’s safer there.
Reading – pre-release copy of Amber Rae’s book, Loveable. HOLY SH*T I love it. Email me if you want to be in our late summer book club when Amber comes for Q&A.
Watching: Summer House, because sometimes you need brain breaks. (Jesse and Paige please get married.)
Burning: This Paloma candle wafts the sweetest fruit into the kitchen as the doors are flung open. Its tin is easily reused later with its pink-orange glow.
My senses shifted to wanting more softeness with all of these new additions.
Post-tax season I’m working on planning out next year’s vacations. Our time is limited as the girls get older and traveling costs (especially flights) have gotten so pricey. We have been saying yes on a whim (so many people turning 50 soon) but now we are making more plans and looking for savings when booking ahead.
Listened to …. Happy pocketful of money on audible – very deep, layered and abundant.
May hosts Mother’s day and our wedding anniversary. After years of NOT doing what I prefer on Mother’s Day, I booked a Sound Bath on the Water. Join me?
A new summer offering of The 24 Oracle Deck, visualizations and Meditation on a Stand Up Paddle Board on July 22 @ 6.30 with Miss Melanie Yoga. I’ll add more dates soon! Use Lynn Mull code at checkout.

I see you May— can’t wait!
