Can you revisit a magical memory in order to build yourself up again in the moment?

When a person is in the thick of their own lives and the lives of their baby's and people around them, they can't always remember how they got there and the work that has been done.

The point of holding memories is to learn and grow and become a better version of yourself all the time in order to make the world a better place with each and every moment.

So can tapping into the old memories that hold Love, joy, excitement and pleasure bring those emotions to us in the moments when we're not joyful, feeling Loved or feeling a bit stuck?

YES!

The short answer is Yes!

I have to believe that we hold these things within us, our minds and our bodies, so that we can build out from the stuff that others have put on us as we grow.

Now, some of this stuff from others is not very nice. Most of it did not have malicious intent. Those actions were coming from what those adults and guardians thought was the...

Do you often want to take time away just for yourself and either can't or don't?

Sometimes, and especially if you're a single parent, you just have no options to escape and take time for yourself. It's very difficult to find someone you trust with the kiddo and you have feelings of guilt because you often hear things like, "He'll grow up soon and you'll have all the time you want." or "I never had time away, that was never an option for me."

Whether you have these voices coming from someone else or from inside your head, being a parent is a lot of work and the gremlin voices giving messages of guilt, shame and thoughts of 'you must power through', are NOT helpful!

The voice is not something that I feel I can trust because if that voice is making me feel pressured or guilty or tied down, then what is it serving? Certainly doesn't feel like it's serving me!

A few weekends ago, I was gifted the realization that taking care of ourselves, as leaders of a family, business...

How often do we let ourselves make mistakes as adults? as parents? as people who are considered responsible in the society? When do we have the ability to say, "Well, hey, we were allowed to make mistakes and stuff at school. We're allowed to make mistakes when we're kids. Why aren't we allowed to make mistakes when we're adults?”

It's this thing that we're holding on ourselves and we hold each other up to that and it's a very strange rule that this society has seemed to hold on to for people who are older. The last time I sent an email out I forgot to add the ’t' at the end of the word ‘thought.’ Some of you may have noticed that. I noticed it after the fact and I hesitated sending something out saying, “Oops, forgot the ’t' but then I was like, “well everyone knows that I'm talking about. The phrase is Food For Thought. Why did I worry about that?

Do we worry when we are parents who have all these details to think about? Yes, of course!

Oh great... I"m stuck again. 

Memories flooding back. Emotions on the rise. Tears often enough that it's unsettling.

Triggers can create this sense of being stuck from an old event or old emotions. It's not a bad thing, it's just something that needs your attention and until those feelings or memories get the attention they need, the stuckness won't go away.

This happened to me this past week. It was my Skye's 8th birthday! :D Yay Skye!! Such an incredible feeling that my little angel has grown and become such an amazing person... and is freaking 8 years old!

(Okay, I'll stop with all of the exclamation points.) ;)

As much as Skye's birthday has the focus of him having fun, enjoying the people he holds dear and opening some presents while eating cake, it's a major trigger for me.

I have worked really hard to release the anger, resentment, guilt and loss that was wrapped around the birth of my baby. It has taken a lot to not let all of the stuff that happened for us come flooding...

Beyond your scope of understanding lies a deeply supportive tool that you forget is on your side. Time is here for you, not against you and it can be just what your soul has ordered.

The weight of life can be overwhelming sometimes. It can be consuming and you just don't want to do anything, and yet, being a parent or caregiver, there's always someone who needs you. 

As of late there have been more losses in my life and it's hard to figure out how I'm supposed to be. Happy? Sad? Thoughtful? Helpful? Each moment brings a new way of feeling and each day brings a lot of things that need doing. The world keeps turning even if you'd like it to stop just for a second. 

Keeping up and 'getting things done' is a pressure that you can feel at any point. When there's a lot of stuff going on and you don't think you can put one more thing into your life, often some other event or person or something comes along or happens and you just can't avoid adapting to it.

Interestingly enough,...

Yes and No, is the short answer.

The long answer involves the idea of an actual wheel getting stuck in the mud versus a rolling wheel that functions for what you need in any given moment.

I get asked this questions about whether the wheel really works or not and here in this video are my morsels of knowledge that have come through while helping so many others.

I hope it helps you!

Message me and let me know your thoughts!
Love you,

It's time to let that go my dear. 

Allow that thing, that situation, that person that has been holding you back be released into the world/ethers/air/whatever so that you don't have to hold onto it anymore.

As you know I have been doing A LOT of work on myself lately. Growing is not easy when it goes against the grain of society, your family or anything that you've gotten comfortable in.

So many people have been quoted stating that no growth happens within your comfort zone. This is true and also has to be seen through gentle eyes.
This is NOT an accusation.
This is NOT the start of a shame cycle.
This is a learning opportunity, and this is how I'm seeing my last 15 months.

Sometimes we have to sit in the mucky stuff in order to come out like a Phoenix from the ashes.You might not know what the other side looks like, but what you do know is how you want to feel.

"Follow the feeling" is something I can be heard saying all the time to the people I work with. I sometimes even...

It’s springtime where I am which means we get the spring cleaning fever. Looking around us and at our own bodies and connecting to what we can now let go of because it’s not going to serve us going into the summer months.

I definitely got stuck in some victim thinking and a headspace that I can finally say I’m seeing more of the Light in. It has not been an easy ride and yet I’m doing so much work and giving myself space and time to figure out how these experiences will serve me and the people I hold space for in the future.

Listen to my video where I talk about vulnerability and how those of us who are heads of households, or bosses, or entrepreneurs have a hard time letting ourselves be vulnerable so we can grow too.

Where are you stuck? And what would you like to let go of?

Love always,

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. :)
