You don’t need to see the whole road, only the next step. This week’s reflection is about faith when you can’t see the way ahead. I’ve also included a simple practice for coming back to the present when your mind won’t stop spinning: slow down and sense. Read more at https://ecosoulspark.com/when-you-cant-see-the-whole-picture/

Slow down. Step outside. Breathe. 🌿
I’m so happy to be guiding a new monthly Community Forest Therapy Walk
through Emmanuel Centre, in the green space right behind the
church.
It’s an hour, unhurried, open to everyone. No experience needed,
nothing you have to say out loud. Just a slow walk in the trees and a
bit of quiet for yourself.
🗓 Tuesdays at 10 am · August 4, September 8, October 6
📍 Emmanuel United Church, 203 rue Principale, Cowansville
💚 Pay what you can, ($20 suggested)
Registration is free, link in bio. And if someone comes to mind who
could use an hour in the trees, send this their way.
It was never the phone. It was the feed.
Aza Raskin invented the infinite scroll. He regrets it, and by his own estimate it wastes something like 200,000 human lifetimes a day. Lifetimes.
This isn’t about the phone being bad, or social media being bad. It’s about seeing how the feed is built, with no end, on purpose, so you never quite look up. Once you can see it, you get to choose. That’s the whole thing. Awareness, not guilt.
So bring your phone into the woods. Keep the camera, the map, the way home. Just try dropping the feed, and see what comes back to you.
Part two of the series is on the blog, with the full story and the sources. Link in bio.

She keeps going.
She notices what everyone needs before they notice it themselves. She holds it together. She is generous, patient, devoted.
And she is tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix.
If you recognized someone in those words, maybe yourself, maybe someone you love, I wrote something for you this week.

Holidays can be sweet… and a little intense.
Here in the Eastern Townships, one of the kindest holiday traditions is also the simplest: step outside, even for two minutes. Cold air, winter light, and a reset you can bring back to the table.
I wrote a new post for anyone navigating those “snag moments” at family gatherings (loaded comments, old roles, overstimulation). It includes a 10-second reset you can do at the table, tiny boundary scripts you can actually say, and a gentle cool-down toolkit.
