Life Breaks Us Open ❤️🩹
I know it sounds tough—maybe even cruel. But hear me out.
Ellie has added another crack to my already broken heart. Yet, instead of shattering, my heart has expanded—becoming softer, more open, and deeply attuned to the vastness and beauty of life.
Heartbreak doesn’t destroy us; it transforms us, awakening us to the delicate yet profound purpose of being alive.
The Intersection of Prayer and Science 🔬
While the debate continues over whether prayer can tangibly influence the world, studies consistently show its power to positively impact the person who prays. [1] [2]
Prayer has been linked to reduced feelings of isolation, fear, and stress, offering a sense of calm, control, and connection that enhances emotional well-being. [1] Research also suggests that group prayer can alleviate depression, nurture optimism, and even diffuse anger. [2] [3]
And here’s the best part—there’s no wrong way to pray.
Today, let’s explore how to break the mold and discover what prayer means to you.

- Chatting with your ancestors
- Reading Poetry
- Writing Poetry
- Listening to Music
- Prancing
- Dancing
- Sending Light & Prayer to people and situations
- Writing to the Universe, asking for what you would be so grateful to receive
- How can you use what works for you – and turn it into your own unique way to pray in the mornings?!
- Maybe you LOVE gratitude and dancing… so you dance to a song you love while focusing on feeling grateful and radiating that out to the world.
- Maybe you love reading poetry and writing to the universe, so you read and get inspired, before then writing a quick letter to ‘God / Universe’ whatever word works for you.
- Do it this morning, and see what happens?! Be open to incorporating it into your daily morning routine!!!
