Texture

Today’s word is texture.

The texture I’m grateful for is dirt. This soil, mud or dust is something I am constantly fighting to keep out of my house but somehow outside it takes on such beauty. I love to put my hands in it to plant things. To just feel the coolness on my skin as I dig and work with my hands in dirt my soul is soothed.

When mud is applied to skin or you soak in it. The benefits are amazing, from helping sore muscles to making your skin soft and emproving circulation. The list can go on in fact so many benefits that people are willing to pay a lot to have this therapy.

I am thankful that something so simple even the smallest of animals benefits from dirt.

About Me

Hi, I’m Gwyn.

I’m a yoga teacher, cancer survivor, and someone who has learned that healing is rarely a straight path. Through the years, I’ve faced, unexpected health challenges and now an autoimmune disease and seasons that tested my faith in ways I never imagined. Yet through it all, God has faithfully met me with strength, hope, and grace.

I created this blog in 2016 to encourage anyone who feels like healing isn’t possible. Today, it has grown into a place where I share honest conversations about living well with chronic illness, embracing midlife, practicing gentle movement, nourishing our bodies, and finding joy even when life doesn’t go according to plan.

You’ll find encouragement, healthy recipes worth making, simple wellness tips, yoga, reflections on faith, and stories from my own journey. My hope is that when you leave this space, you feel a little less alone and a little more hopeful.

Whether you’re navigating health challenges, searching for balance, or simply looking for encouragement in this season of life, I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome. I hope you’ll stay awhile.
