Expansion, joy, awareness and Love…

Finding one’s own path on this often bumpy journey called life isn’t always easy or seen as allowed. We expand when we do something nice for ourselves or others. We find joy in the small and big things. We grow awareness when we ask questions and give space for learning. And we feel Love when we can define it for our own life.

I’ve started a new tradition for myself and I’m loving it! I connected you last time with a bit of the history around April 1st and the concept of the New Year.

In this new video I celebrate and share my thoughts for the beginning of my new New Year! :)

I just love hearing from you, so click the button below and once you’ve listened in a bit, let me know what you think!

Sending happy new New Year hugs and Love,

As a NICU parent, I have gained the skill of questioning with an open heart. There were many times that we were told something in the NICU, or by doctors after we were home, that just didn't sit right with me. So, I researched, asked more questions and added to the knowledge shared with me.

This might be seen as overanalyzing, but it's gotten Skye a lot farther than what any of the doctors ever imagined. 

Right now my part of Mother Earth is just waking up. Spring is edging ever closer with temperatures above freezing and more of the ground being exposed from the layers of snow. Honestly, I feel like I too am just waking up from a long, intense sleep.

New Years was not celebratory for us this year, it felt heavy. I started wondering what this whole January 1st thing was all about because to me, it seemed like an odd time of year (in terms of Mother Nature's seasons) to celebrate newness.

So... I started asking questions. :)

Connection is paramount.

In any culture around our beautiful world, the sense of connection and being understood creates a powerful sense of self. When we don't feel supported we feel as though weights are pressing down on our shoulders and that feeling can make it hard to function on a daily basis.

Talking about something that has happened to you that is weighing on your mind can be an integral way to process the emotional heaviness you're carrying around. By debriefing with someone you trust it gives space for healing and understanding.

Connection and sharing are essential parts of how we thrive.

No one can do everything all by themselves. In the Western world we've forgotten about the village mentality. Sharing is Love. And Love is the bottom line in how we feel connected. Love just has to be.

Who do you have in your life that you can talk to or ask a favour of? What are you willing to ask of them? Can you get out of your own way to receive the support?

Allow the compassion...

Love is a trauma-informed action.

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day and whether or not you ‘celebrate’ it or see it as just another day, your thoughts were probably around the subject of Love. I personally don’t put too much effort into it even though this year Skye has wanted to decorate and amp it up because he’s now in school and they focus on these things as tools for keeping the kids’ attention. I tend to want the attention to be spread out throughout the year so that I know I’m Loved, always. Selfish or just a different perspective?

Regardless of how tough these last few years have been for you knowing that you are Loved is a powerful feeling. Having someone in your life that you trust, that you confide in, that you can truly be yourself with is a form of knowing you are Loved. It’s also lovely to hear the words, “You are Loved.” Or “I Love you.”

Words hold energy and we can’t always...
