About ‘A Peace of Milk and Honey’
Welcome to the writing publication, A Peace of Milk and Honey.
I’ve experienced firsthand what it’s like to ride the merry-go round of the hustle and bustle world we live in. It taught me that the more we hurry in busyness and distractions, the easier it becomes to lose sight of what truly matters; the present moment, the simple joys, and the beauty of being alive.
A Peace of Milk and Honey is a sanctuary for those who seek a life far beyond external noise, status and material wealth. I write about a different kind of wealth. The wealth that lives in the meadows of decadent milk and honey that only God can provide. The wealth of inner riches that linger inside of us — that sometimes go unnoticed and unheard when we’re too quick and too busy.
Each newsletter is an invitation to slow down, breathe easy and savor the sweetness of life that is both within us and around us. From sharing personal stories on the spiritual journey, motherhood, the practice of being human, relationships inspired by daily living or mind/body well being practices that sing soothing praises to the nervous system, or sharing my favorite go-to recipes. I’m here to offer honest reflections on anything that comes up ~as long as my heart has the call to write about it.
My hope is that this space can serve as a source of nourishment for your mind and soul every time you engage with it. May it serve as a gentle reminder to live more presently, to be messy, to get lost, to laugh more, to be shameless about being more human while staying in harmony with your True Nature. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life or seeking a moment of respite from the chaos, know that you are not alone. I hope each word written on these pages add a little more sweetness to your day. Join me, take a seat on a cozy sofa and have a cup of something warm.
Here’s to a journey towards more peaceful living, one sip of milk and honey at a time.
Thank you for being here.
Warmly,
Sandy
Behind the Screen
Hi, my name is Sandy —a devoted wife, mama, matcha-holic, and meditator. I care about authentic human connection, living slowly, real intimate conversations, growing deeper versus wider, learning how to love one another beyond likes and follows, being kind and how to slow down so we can thrive in a more sustainable world. I practice Yoga Science philosophy and meditation as a way of being. I am an avid student on the path and have truly been blessed by a lineage of teachers. The practice of meditation is like cleaning the windshield of the mind; it helps us to see more clearly, to have a better idea of where we’re going, and to be able to focus on the road ahead of us instead. This practice changed my life. I’ve taught meditation and mind/body well-being as a teacher and facilitator through podcasts, speaking, workshops, retreats and events for the past 10 years.
Other fun things; I’m mixed Vietnamese, African and Indian. I live on the coast of southwest Florida with my husband, daughter and dog, Brody. My husband and I started our real estate investing journey during the pandemic. We are Airbnb Superhosts and now transforming and designing homes into peaceful stays to share with others has become one of our favorite things to do. I think cooking is wholesome, swimming in the ocean is therapeutic, talking to strangers is enlightening, the silence of a wooded trail is blissfully gratifying, karaoke makes hearty friendships and aiming to have at least one belly laugh a day is a prescription for joy.
I started Substack because writing has been my safe haven since I was 10 years old. Ever since preparing to become a mother, I’ve grown an insatiable urge to write, write and write. And not just write, but to share what I write with others versus leaving them in journals tucked away in a box collecting dust in the garage. Words to me are like art that capture the present moment. It has the power to inspire us, to move us and to heal us.
