💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, You know those songs that hit you in the gut and the soul? For me, Aerosmith’s “Dream On” is one of those. Every time it comes on, I crank it up, close my eyes (unless I’m driving 😅), and let it take me back to a time when my biggest dream was just to become someone—even if I didn’t yet know who. Lately, that song has been echoing through my days again—not as nostalgia, but as a reminder. A reminder to keep dreaming… To stay connected to my purpose… To remember...

💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, September is all about action—taking our dreams and turning them into reality.

💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, August always feels a little like standing at a threshold. Maybe it’s the back-to-school and work buzz in the air or the golden light that hints at transition. This month, I’m holding space for the possible. The not-yet-known. The dreams. It’s not just about ambition or change—it’s about imagining more for ourselves and each other. In Athena Village, possibility is a shared practice. We speak it into being. We hold it for one another when it’s hard to see. We...

💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, July is all about sistering—a powerful term borrowed from the world of construction (one of my former lives!), where it means adding support to strengthen. Now I've pulled that concept into Athena Village, where we know that sistering is the foundation of everything we do. Together, we lift each other up, share wisdom, and create a community that thrives on mutual support and respect. This month, let’s reflect on how we can sister one another in ways that make...

June Focus: TRANSITION tran(t)-ˈsi-shən a change or shift from one state, subject, place, etc. to another 💌 From Kelly’s Desk Hey Reader, Living in the Threshold This month’s theme, Transition, feels especially personal to me right now—because I’m in the thick of it. My mom and I are moving. And while we’re both seasoned pros at this (we’ve packed up more homes than I can count), this time feels different. After almost 90 years of life—and a long, beautiful partnership of the Poet and the...
