☀️ Mindful Mornings: Seasons Change, So Do We......

These photos were taken in a colder season — boots on, thicker shirts, flowers just beginning, and Dune still missing.

We didn’t know then that he’d come back.
We only knew to keep moving with care:
🌼 Snipping blooms.
🌼 Whispering hope.
🌼 Making space for healing.

Today, Dune is home.
The air is warmer. The garden fuller.
And our mornings are stitched with quiet joy.

Presence was the practice —
Love was the return.

The Silence that Moves

Before the day began, tiny paws whispered across the deck. No rush. No noise. Just quiet evidence of life moving through stillness. That’s the kind of morning we honor here.

The Listening Porch

Not all quiet moments are empty. Some are full of presence a warm pup, two empty rockers,

and a porch that listens more than it speaks. Start your morning slow with us. Let this stillness inspire a pause in your day.

Listen to this 10-minute mindful porch meditation while you sit, sip, or simply breathe.

Almost the 4th… and My Fridge Knows It 🇺🇸

It’s not the 4th yet, but the flowers are peacocking, the coffee’s putting in emotional labor, and the yellow fridge? Loud. Proud. Built like retro mustard and stealing the show.

I lit a candle, nodded at a mini flag, and held a full conversation with the sponge.

Call it mindfulness. Call it seasonal confusion.

Call it what happens when your kitchen is cuter than your weekend plans.

From Tasha Holland-Kornegay—where the appliances are bright, the soap is lavender, and the vibe is just unhinged enough.

A Hand for the Unseen Bloom

Some days, growth needs a hand.

This morning I showed up with water and quiet — just enough.

No bloom yet, but I trust it’s coming.

Here’s to showing up anyway.

Dune’s Morning Trick: The Still Start

This is Dune. Wrapped up, still, not in a rush to greet the world.

We call this: The Still Start.

🐾 Dune’s Trick: Before you move, just rest where you are.

Let the morning hold you for one more minute.
Breathe in where you are.
Feel the fabric. The floor. The light. The life already here.

You’ll move when it’s time. But not before you’re ready.
That’s the wisdom Dune brings today.

Midday Reset

“It’s okay if your morning didn’t go how you hoped. You can still claim your calm. Take one breath with me here…”- Tasha Holland-Kornegay

Be Like the Chicken

She did her job. She celebrated. She didn’t spiral.
Maybe that’s the morning routine we’ve been missing.
