🌿 A little something I've been carrying in my heart...
For those of you who have been part of my Lots of Knots family, I wanted to share something new with you.
Over the last three years, life has taken me through some places I never expected to go.
There has been sickness.
There has been pain.
There has been loss.
There has been confusion.
And, like so many of us discover at some point, there has simply been life.
For a long time, I found myself needing to pause.
To breathe.
To reflect.
To sit with things I couldn't change and feelings I didn't always understand.
That intentional pause became an important part of my own journey.
And somewhere along the way, Aligned Lotus began to take shape. 🌸
A place to pause, breathe and realign.
At the heart of Aligned Lotus will be Reiki, a gentle practice that has become meaningful to me throughout this journey.
Reiki isn't about having all the answers or trying to fix someone's life.
For me, it's about creating a quiet space where someone can pause, feel supported, and simply be.
It's about compassion.
It's about presence.
And sometimes, it's about having someone sit beside you while you find your own way.
That is something I want Aligned Lotus to offer.
A gentle space for people navigating illness, pain, caregiving, loss, uncertainty, or simply those seasons when life feels like a little too much.
Lots of Knots isn't going away. 🤍
I still love creating macramé, and that creative part of me is very much still here.
But another part of my journey has been calling me toward something different, too.
Something born from what I've lived through.
Something I hope can become a place where people feel loved, cared for, seen and supported.
So today, I'm quietly opening the door to Aligned Lotus and inviting my Lots of Knots family to come along with me.
You may see me sharing things here that are a little different from what you're used to:
🌿 Gentle reflections
🌿 Permission to pause
🌿 Support for caregivers
🌿 Conversations about navigating difficult seasons
🌿 And the gentle healing practice of Reiki
I'm still weaving with my hands.
But I'm also learning to weave something new from the experiences life has given me.
Sometimes life gently unravels the plans we thought we had...
so we can weave something new.
With love,
Cindy
