Hello Wild Souls, Song-Carriers, Quiet Listeners, and Those Tuning Themselves to What Matters!

Happy to declare—April is officially my favorite month of the year.

Why?

Yesterday (and a few days before that), I was serenaded by a Carolina Wren.

He perched himself on the top railing of my deck and sang at the top of his lungs.

It was mesmerizing… watching the soft feathers on his throat trilling as he called out.
He’d sing—then pause, as if listening.
Then sing again… and pause.

And of course, it got me thinking (as nature always does).​
About how we do the same thing.

Whether we realize it or not, we’re always broadcasting something.
Through our thoughts.
Our emotions.
Our presence.

It’s like we’re charging the air around us with a signal.

That little wren was clearly looking for another of its kind.
Calling… then listening.
Calling… then listening.

And that’s part of why I love April.

The songbirds are back. Pairing up. Moving with purpose.
Looking for partners, building nests, preparing for what’s coming next.

The air itself feels alive with it.

They’re tuned in—
to each other,
to warning calls,
to the subtle rhythms of everything around them—
all while following what they’re here to do.

And it’s hard not to see the mirror.

What we tune into.
What we send out.
How we move through the world.

All of it matters.

Because what we experience tomorrow
is often shaped by what we’re holding today—
in our thoughts, our words, our actions… or our inaction.

I’ve seen this shift things in my own life in ways I can’t ignore.

Which is why I’m creating a space to explore it together.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to have you join me for a live Zoom session this Thursday, April 16 at 6:30 PM Eastern.

We’ll walk through simple, real ways to shift your energy—
so what you’re putting out starts to align more with what you actually want to receive.

Details are below.

Wild-Heart Practice of the Week:

“Call & Listen”
​​
Step outside for a few minutes this week.
Or sit somewhere quiet. And just begin by noticing:

What am I broadcasting right now?

Not what you wish you were feeling.
Not what you think you should be feeling.
But what’s actually there.

Then pause.
​Listen.

Not just with your ears...
but with your awareness and with your heart.

What’s being reflected back to you?
In your body…
in your thoughts…
in your environment?

Then, gently shift something.

Your thought.
Your breath.
Your posture.
​
And notice what responds.

Just like the songbirds—
calling… then listening…
you’re in relationship with everything around you.

The more aware you become of what you’re sending out,
the more clearly you’ll begin to see what comes back.

I’m honored you’re here on this journey with me.

If this Field Notes stirred something in you, I’d love to hear what it’s been stirring in your own life lately—maybe what you’re noticing in your energy, your thoughts, or even in the quiet moments around you.

Or perhaps there’s been a “Carolina Wren” kind of moment in your world too… something calling your attention back to what’s real and alive.

If this resonated, hit reply—I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

Namaste,​
Rachel
