Dear Jewelweed friends,
In these turbulent times, our anxiety and stress rise as we are caught in the fire of division, uncertainty, and extremes. Every transformative moment is an opportunity to ask ourselves pertinent questions, review our way of living, and find where we are out of balance.
It is challenging when the source of unbalance and turbulence comes from a collective, seemingly out-of-control place. But we do have control over our individual choices.
It is the small choices and practices we make every day that create the overall quality of our lives. Below are our favorites; they are easy to do and only require your attention and presence.
Our mission at Jewelweed has always been to help people find this balance through nature, community, and wellness. When we look at our namesake, the jewelweed plant, we see that, when placed underwater, its leaves form air bubbles that look like jewels. This is a metaphor we can apply to ourselves right now:
Where do we find air when we feel like we are underwater?
What jewels can we create from this challenging season?
