Joy it up: Meet Hannah Marcotti and revel in your magic unfolding

Hmmm. I feel it. Oh yes!

Listen. Be still. Close your eyes and imagine what is coming.

Notice the faint red painting itself over the bright green leaves. Yes, that pumpkin in my garden is turning a burnt orange and the solid weight of the fruit on the earth is manifestation of the shift.

The tribe assembles. We hold hands in spirit and take root.

Autumn’s color is the space where our magic will unfold.

Roots of She. We have been planted, we have taken root and we will grow together, tribe of beautiful women.

Mama Space

Spiral. Space. Mama.

I became a mama in my heart and my body when I was pregnant with my first spirit child. I carried the baby inside for 16 weeks, saying goodbye soon after. That is when I learned the depth of love, sadness, joy and the feeling of our soul longing for purpose.

I am now a mother to three wildly fierce and independent children. I naturally have no patience, and am slowly acquiring it with the time I spend working on my breathing. Only my breath can calm and carry me through that 30 minute tantrum or fighting over who sits where on the couch.

A circle of women. Yes, that is where I belong, learning, listening, growing. Teaching, leading, listening. The spiral of beauty makes me a better mother, a stronger woman. Perhaps that spiral is part of my adventure in patience!!!

My soul’s purpose is guiding you to find the gorgeous life you dream of. To help you dream. Taking a tiny spark of passion and helping you to ignite it, into fireworks.

The gorgeous life is the sparkle, the joy, the magical moments. It is your purpose, your deep body knowledge, your desire. It is space, it is touch, it is intuition. Coaching you to move closer and closer to that place is my joy.

As we sway through Autumn with the leaves I will share with the tribe simple ways to connect to joy, rhythm, purpose and space. As the wind blows and we climb into our favorite sweaters, I am so excited to know you. To share with you. To hold space inside the gorgeous life of Autumn with you.

Nurturing Yourself Starts in the Bedroom

Smoothing, Tucking, Folding

I used to spend more time complaining about my life than nurturing it. Now I make my bed.

As you smooth the sheets down and tuck the pillows into place it is hard to feel anything other than loved in that moment. There are times I’ve made the bed in tears, allowing the yucky bits to wash out of me and the movement, the action of laying the folded turquoise blanket on the end of the bed soothes and comforts.

Action is the only way out of stuck. Complaining, fear and doubt are stuck. You can make your bed despite any of those feelings. No sheet ever convinced anyone of their unworthiness.

Relaxing, Breathing, Appreciating

As you stand back, or as I like to do, lie down on the finished product without wrinkling it too much, you can take a breath and know that you are loved. Yes, loved.

When I ask my tribe to move into finding more joy in their lives, I first ask that they make their bed. Every day. Even if it is at 4 in the afternoon, don’t skip it please.

This one act says so much. It allows space. It greets you at the end of a long day. It creates momentum for more acts of self nurture. The made bed leads to a desire for a sanctuary space in the whole room where you slumber. It invites playfulness of all kinds.

Working, Releasing, Loving

Simplicity is the act of doing normal, every day tasks and watching them reward your life with joy and tenderness. Making the bed is all sorts of simple. It is the softness of nurture.

My bed becomes an office, with a cup of tea on the little table hydrating me as a I write. My room around the bed becomes a sanctuary where meditations happen with a little bit of resistance, and then, the ahhhhh….

This bed becomes a place for kissing, cuddling, nurturing. All three babes have slept in this bed, and now that cute little puppy. On those crazy occasions when we find just two of us in that bed, the man I share my life with and myself, well, that bed allows us to connect, to love, to discover.

Tuck, fluff, fold.
Smooth, sink, allow.
Nurture, play, dream.
