“I Am His Home-Cooked Peace”: Life After the Long Haul

Peace and radiant love, y’all. It’s your girl La Trecia—Reiki Ra-ess if you feelin’ royal—Reiki Master, plant mama, chakra whisperer, and wife to a man who used to live on the road. But now? Now he comes home every night… and I’ve become his home-cooked peace.

You ever live long enough in survival mode that you don’t recognize peace when it finally parks in your driveway? That was me. I’d mastered the art of solo flow, moonlit reflections, and sending Reiki across state lines. I was a whole vibe in solitude, honey. But love? Love will evolve you.

From Highways to Homefront

My husband used to be a full-time trucker—gone for days, sometimes weeks. I held down the fort with healing oils in one hand and homeschooling in the other. When the rig backed up into the yard, our hugs carried miles of memories and longing.

Now, his boots are by the door every evening. No more waiting games. He may still hit the road from time to time, but for now, his return is consistent—and y’all, that shift? It stretched us.

Not Just Proximity, But Peace

Sharing space every day required more than logistics—it required intentional harmony. It took soft words, open hearts, and yes, a whole lot of orange and lavender: orange to uplift, lavender to ease.

I anoint our bed with oils. I Reiki his tired shoulders. I stir herbs into teas that speak to his nervous system and mine. Our love is no longer just felt in the miles between us—but in the minutes we share in presence, purpose, and peace.

The Moon Saw It All

Since this transition, we’ve lived through a few full moons. She illuminated truths we didn’t see when the house was quieter. Our roles shifted. Our rhythms evolved. The lessons?

Stillness doesn’t mean stagnancy.

Love is a frequency. You either tune in or fall out.

Healing isn’t a goal—it’s a lifestyle.


I am no longer waiting for him to come home.

I am home. And I’ve become his peace—home-cooked, soul-seasoned, sacred, and safe.

Styled in Orange and Lavender, Always

Everything I do—whether it’s homeschooling, healing, or holding down the house—flows in these hues. Orange ignites my inner fire. Lavender cools my crown. Together, they balance me, and through me, they bless him (energetically, not religiously).




Sending positive Inner-G 🤲🏾 💫 🧿 🪬, La Trecia aka Reiki Ra-Ess
