Summer solstice is my favorite day of summer for one perfect reason… besides being the longest day of the year, and being the official start of summer, it’s a chance to connect with nature and yourself in the most beautiful of ways. Spending time outside in the warmth of the sun, reflecting on how life is going, can be one of the most magical times of year. Combined with letting go of anything that has been dimming your internal sparkle, makes it even more so.

Last year I was asked to be a guest on Loving Everything with Andrea Love and it finally dropped! Andrea and I had met at women's conference in early 2025, and instantly clicked with the many commonalities we have. I was thrilled to have this conversation with her about finding purpose in the pain, leaning into my faith and practicing gratitude along the way.

I was getting my nails done today and was asked how my Mother’s Day was. It was really nice I said- went to church, visited my mom, FaceTime with my boys and enjoyed music, charcuterie and a glass of wine at my favorite winery. A great day, honestly. Of course, I asked my nail tech how her Mother’s Day was; her reply was kind of heartbreaking and also eye opening.

If we haven’t met, my name is Richelle and thanks SO much for being here! Because this is my first blog, I wanted to take the opportunity to share a bit about myself and I’m guessing if you are reading this, we probably have a few things in common.
