“What We Carry, What We Lay Down” (Weekly Wrap-Up)

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

 “Growth doesn’t erase the ache, it gives it a softer place to land.”

This week has revealed what many endure quietly: fractured families, mismatched energies, financial strain, the weight of expectation, the longing for peace. And yet through every truth runs a single thread, your right to honor yourself while still holding compassion for others. No one gets through life untouched by heartache. But you can choose to grow through it instead of shrinking beneath it.

Growth doesn’t mean you don’t cry. It doesn’t mean you don’t wish things were different. It simply means you refuse to define yourself by what fractured. You’ve learned to breathe where others collapse, to step back without shame, to love without needing a seat at every table. You’re not avoiding life, you’re choosing the version of life that keeps you whole.

Lay down what drains,
carry what lifts.
Let truth be your lantern
in all of winter’s shifts.

Gentle practice:
Tonight, write down one thing you’re releasing and one thing you’re carrying forward. Both are part of your becoming.

Tomorrow begins Week Two, a deeper walk into holiday grace, emotional safety, connection on your terms, and redefining what “family” can mean.

“The Art of Becoming”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

 

“Gratitude is the brush that finishes every painting of renewal.”

This week has been a reminder that creativity isn’t only found in canvases or poems, it’s in the way we breathe, the way we move, the choices we make each day. Renewal is art in motion, homemade milk swirling with spice, a mindful walk becoming prayer, water remembering the words we whisper into it.

Each simple act becomes sacred when done with awareness. The smallest gestures, stirring, stretching, stepping outside, shape who we are becoming. Creation isn’t a single moment of brilliance; it’s the steady rhythm of presence meeting possibility.

Every motion paints a path.
Every choice colors the air.
What you notice becomes light,
what you love becomes prayer.

Let gratitude be the thread that ties it all together.
In every meal, every breath, every small awakening, there is a masterpiece quietly forming, your life, lived with intention.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow begins a new two week series, a slow gentle walk through what is felt and less talked about directly during holiday pressures and family fractures and a few insights that may be helpful in honoring your own beat while honoring others as well.

“Movement as Expression”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

 “The body paints its own poetry when it moves without demand.”

Dance, walk, stretch, sway, move the way wind moves through trees. No counts, no goals, no punishment. Just motion that lets the mind exhale. In those minutes, art happens, rhythm without reason, grace without judgment.

Let your heartbeat set the tempo,
your breath the brushstroke,
motion becomes devotion
when a surrender is your guide.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-

 Choose one song and move to it, for at least ten minutes. Feel where tension hides and let rhythm loosen it.

“The Simplicity of Water”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Water remembers every blessing you give it.”

Water is the first medicine and the last. Before you add supplements or superfoods, add H20 to life, swirl gratitude into it, drink slowly. The body listens when you treat water with gratitude and appreciation instead of habitual. Sit a glass of water next to your favorite music and allow the moleculor structure to dance before you drink it.

Clear, constant, forgiving
it cleanses the seen and unseen.
Drink water with intention,
and you will feel remembered.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-

 Replace all drinks today with water or herbal tea. Add a pinch of sea salt or a squeeze of lemon for living minerals. Maybe today you add cinnamon or ceyenne pepper, maybe a drip of apple cider vinegar, maybe an orange peel or parsley, even a few slices of cucumber.

What will you try new today that will give you a new perspective?

“The Pause of Nourishment”

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

 “Hunger can be a messenger, and a messenger is to inform, presence is to listen.”

When you pause from feeding the body, you begin to hear it.
Fasting, even for a few hours, isn’t about denial, it’s about presence. You learn the language of your heartbeat, breath, and gratitude that food sometimes covers up, knowledge will show up in your body and rattle your brain, but it is the presence in allowing, surrendering and seeing beyond where knowledge. becomes wisdom.

Small practice: Skip one meal today or delay it. Drink warm water with a pinch of sea salt and a vibrantly impactful lemon twist within. Let your body tell you what it truly needs, pik a day and challenge a new perspective. Let me know your thoughts. I just finished a 7 week cleanse with just water at the end with the exact recipe above, the insights where my mind took me and where I met it at the heart level changed it all.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-

Tomorrow, nourishment returns, but it will look and feel different.

The Suspense of Becoming

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth


“Transformation is not an event, it is the whisper between what was and what will be.”

Somewhere beneath the stillness,
a new rhythm begins to hum.
It’s quiet, but it’s certain
the sound of what you’ll become.

Do not rush the unveiling,
or try to name its start,
the mystery is sacred
it’s written in your heart.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, a celebration begins, a doorway of gratitude and light for the next generation to walk through.

The Body Remembers

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Healing is the body’s way of saying: I still believe in you.”

The body never forgets kindness.
Every stretch, every deep breath, every meal prepared with awareness becomes its language of love.

Tonight, rest without filling the hours with noise.
Let your body fast from busyness.
Sip warm tea, breathe gratitude, and know that restoration happens most deeply in quiet trust.

The body is not separate from GRACE, it is its translation.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, the body and soul will meet in motion, the moment before renewal completes itself.

How do you rest and what kind of things do you do to honor rest within?

The Inner River

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“

“You are not separate from the flow, you are the flow.”

Inside the quiet current,
the body keeps its rythym
each cell a tiny chapel,
each heartbeat a bead.

Drink from what sustains you,
honor what you keep,
for rivers never question
the mountain where they sleep.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
By tomorrow, the water will reflect what has been waiting to be seen.

Have you ever just laid within a river, (a calm one of course) and just floated, felt the cold, allowed it to rejuvinate you while you surrender to it, its one of the my favorite things to do and EVERYTIME it revives me and shows me more about surrender and where that comes from. Your thoughts?

Surrender Begins Within

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth


“Surrender is not a fall, it is a return to where you already are.”

Surrender is not silence, nor is it defeat.
It is a quiet remembering that everything sacred begins inside.
When the mind loosens its grip, the body speaks with a pulse, a breath, a whisper that says, you can trust me.

Begin simply.
Drink a glass of water before the day demands anything of you.
Add a pinch of sea salt for the minerals your tears are made of.
Let each swallow be gratitude for the life that moves through you without command.

Surrender is an inward bow, not to something outside of you, but to the divine pulse within.
It asks for respect, not resistance.
It teaches that every act of care is an act of prayer.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, the river will begin to move and you’ll feel what surrender sets free.

How do you perceive Surrender? I have been spending some personal time on this lately and I have some new perceptions and insights that have so divinely been dropped within, I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject as well.

The Bridge Between Worlds

Posted on by Kerri Elizabeth

“Some lights do not fade with distance, they become the horizon we walk toward.”

October closes not with silence, but with reverence.
The month began in fog and stillness and ends in light that refuses to dim.
Each story, each wave of emotion, has been a lesson in continuation, how pain and peace can travel side by side, how love reshapes itself to stay.

Zakary’s birthday became the center of that light, a day when memory and presence merged.
His laughter still ripples through the air; his curiosity still stirs the questions that make us brave enough to live honestly.
Through his journey, we remember that healing is not erasing, it is learning to carry beauty and ache together without losing either.
He reminds us that endings are simply thresholds, and connection never breaks; it only changes its form.

October has been a teacher of slowing down, of listening between breaths, of cleansing through truth and reflection.
It has asked us to look beyond what we can touch, to trust that unseen work is always unfolding, that love moves quietly beneath every surface.

Now November waits at the door, carrying gratitude in one hand and promise in the other.
It whispers: Bring what you’ve learned. Bring what you’ve loved.
The light you carry forward is the same light that began it all.

-Kerri-Elizabeth-
Tomorrow, November will open its first page, where gratitude meets revelation, where new insights and journeys travel through Novemeber with a rejuvinated openness and awareness with conversation and learning, with sharing and celebrating and a stirring of something I havent shared yet and still showing itself worthy of a slow entrance. There will also be another big celebration right around the corner.
