This year, I was inspired by the concept presented by Deb Dana in her work based on “The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy: Engaging the Rhythm of Regulation (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology).” In her book, she explores the idea of “glimmers,” those small, fleeting moments in your day that bring a sense of safety, calm, and connection.
Glimmers can be as simple as the warmth of sunlight on your skin, the soothing sound of rain, or an unexpected smile from a stranger. These tiny sparks of positivity gently activate your nervous system, reminding us that even amidst life’s chaos, there is beauty and serenity to be found.
Inspired by this idea, I’ve created the Captured Glimmers collection, which will launch during the last week of each month throughout 2025. Each edition invites you to pause, observe, and celebrate the small joys that light up our journey. I also hope to build a consistent connection with you throughout the year, encouraging you to notice and embrace these glimmers as we go.
We’re kicking off this journey with the first part, “A Bright Start,” now available in the shop! This introductory edition is designed to help you reflect on your goals for the year while celebrating the little joys that keep us moving forward. Filled with vibrant colors and inspiring elements, it’s the perfect way to step into 2025 with a positive mindset.

Let’s embark on this journey together! Share your glimmers with me as you discover them, and let’s celebrate these sparks of light throughout the year.

If you’re interested in diving deeper into this concept, I recommend Deb Dana’s book. It’s a thought-provoking exploration of how we can engage our nervous system and find grounding in our daily lives.
