Every year, I love taking a moment to look back on which posts resonated most with you. It’s always so fun to see what touched hearts and sparked conversations. Sometimes, the results are as expected, and other times, I'm very surprised!
This year, we have a mix of ongoing favorites and fresh new additions that made the list. It’s a gift to look back and celebrate these moments with you.
With gratitude and curiosity, here are the most-loved blog posts of 2024:
1. What Do Different Flowers Symbolize? Think Love, Passion, and Goodbye!
This blog post is from the original set. I was inspired to create content related to my "rose-colored glasses" theme.
It's fascinating to think about how far we've come. Thankfully, we now communicate directly instead of using flowers to say, "Goodbye!"
Key Highlights:
Floriography (the language of flowers) dates back thousands of years and was particularly popular in Victorian England and the United States as a way to express emotions when social norms restricted open communication. (This is wild to even think about, right?)
Famous figures, such as Shakespeare, incorporated the symbolism of flowers in their works, and some flowers have universal meanings (e.g., red roses symbolize love).
Create themed bouquets with specific combinations of flowers to send meaningful messages. For example:
Heather, Camellia, and Blue Iris, for good luck and encouragement.
Alstroemeria for devotion and friendship.
Orchids for romantic and passionate love.
Alternatively, keep it simple by selecting a flower symbolizing a particular emotion or relationship.
Final Takeaway:
Flowers carry deep emotional and historical meanings, making them a creative and thoughtful way to connect with others. The blog encourages readers to explore the "language of flowers" and use it to convey sentiments for any occasion.

I drew inspiration from visionaries whom I admire and respect.
I always go back to one quote: “A mother’s love liberates.” To me, these words redefine the way we see mothers and the love they give. It reflects an idea that I try to live up to—that mothers have the unique ability to set us free, empowering us to step into the world and into ourselves fully.

3. Are You Away From Loved Ones? Try Sending Love Vibrations.
This is a piece that I love—it’s a practice that truly shaped my experience as a single mom raising my daughter.
A few times a year, she would travel far to visit her dad in western Canada. Those moments of separation were tough, not knowing how to stay connected with her from miles away.
That’s when I discovered the power of sending love vibrations. My therapist suggested it, so I researched it and decided to try it. And something incredible happened—it worked. It taught me that it all begins with you, the sender. When you can truly feel your emotions, focus on them, and send them with intention, you can tap into a profound sense of peace and connection, even from a distance.
I still remember the day I wrote about this technique—it came together in under two hours. Seeing how many others have connected with it makes me happy! This concept continues to resonate with me, and I use it often. It’s a gentle reminder that love knows no boundaries—it’s always there, quietly linking us to those we love most.
Blog post summary:
Sending love vibrations to others is an empowering and meaningful way to connect beyond physical presence, backed by spirituality and science.
Through techniques like cultivating heart coherence, focusing on the heart chakra, and visualizing the connection of auras, individuals can intentionally send thoughts of love, kindness, and positivity.
Concepts such as the Maharishi Effect and practices described by the HeartMath Institute reaffirm that our energy has far-reaching impacts and can create profound connections when aligned with purpose.
Whether separated from loved ones or looking to strengthen bonds, sending love vibrations through meditation and visualization can help foster a deep sense of closeness and healing. (This technique helped me a lot as a single mom.)
It's helpful to remember that love is infinite within you, and you always have the power to share it intentionally, no matter the distance.
Special note: This practice isn't just about transmitting energy; it’s about grounding yourself in love and gratitude. When you align your mind, heart, and soul, your capacity to radiate love grows exponentially, creating ripples of connection across time and space. That's pretty awesome!

5. How Does Spiritual Alignment Feel? See Enlightening Descriptions From Masters
This is another post that can shift my mood immediately if I need it.
I pulled specific quotes from my favorite spiritual teachers to reinforce the idea that feeling a sense of spiritual alignment requires practice and that we have so many tools at our fingertips to help us connect with a higher sense of purpose.
I love that!
Spiritual alignment promotes trust. We learn that we can rely on the power of a higher plan.
Blog post summary:
Spiritual alignment refers to connecting with one's inner self and a higher energy source, which brings joy, peace, and effortless ease to one's life.
In this post, I share excerpts from masters such as Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, and Esther Hicks that emphasize practices such as meditation, focusing on joy, and aligning actions with the present moment to achieve this state.
Meditation helps quiet the mind and aligns thoughts with pure consciousness while focusing on joy reinforces our true nature.
Additionally, spiritual alignment involves integrating "being" and "doing"—acting in alignment with the present moment to positively impact yourself and others.
The piece also mentions that building spiritual alignment requires regular practice, such as chanting mantras, deep breathing, and mindfulness. It’s not about staying in perfect alignment all the time but consciously reconnecting whenever life’s challenges pull you away.
Tools like becoming aware of alignment, meditative exercises, and surrendering to trust can help you regain this sense of balance.
Ultimately, spiritual alignment promotes a sense of divine trust, allowing us to rely on a higher power’s plan while experiencing a state of acceptance and joy.
