Life can be so messy can’t it? In my whole life I’ve done everything in my power to at all costs; keep moving forward. Often times the quote by Henry Ford played through my mind on repeat; “When you are going through hell, keep GOING”. Here’s the thing that no one tells you though ... it catches up. When you spend your life running from pain, or fear or betrayal or trauma or any god forsaken thing that we humans run from in our means to control our human condition. One way or another, when you stop and rest and find stillness - it ALL catches up.
Which brings me to today. This quote by @rupikaur_ rings for me. It’s takes a lot of guts to stand up and show the world who you are, it takes even more guts to stand up at the risk of losing the people you love to share your process and with confidence allow your self to be seen. Messy, complicated, driven and creative, soft and filled with cracks. Tears brim right next to gut busting laughter. After a lifetime of the world telling her; she’s not enough. It’s a fucking lie. She’s always been enough. Since the day that girl opened her eyes, since she took her first breath. She is stardust formed into heart beats & passion and magic.
It’s okay to stop running. It’s okay to find that in your stillness there is fear. Trust yourself dear one. This time as you move forward, do so with precision. Untuck the hidden things from the hidden places and let the light back in. Everything is going to be alright.
Hiking is no fun at all.
Be messy, complicated and afraid & show up anyways. @glennondoyle
I’ve learned over the past few years to lean into my messiness, to my big emotions, my self doubt and what ever else comes up - rather than with self loathing and disconnection, as I heal I have gotten increasingly curious. I’ve gotten very accepting of my whole, WHOLE self. My curiosity asks; What is coming up for me right now? Under this thought/feeling, what EVER IT IS - it’s okay to feel what I feel.
This posture is a struggle for me. Balancing backbends do not come naturally - but guess what, I’m doing them anyways ✌🏼 Happy Hump Day ✨✨ #makeitcount
Happy Earth Day, which is EVERYDAY. Make choices, start small - say no to the plastic bag, straw, wrapping, bottle. Invest in reusable or better yet, Reuse things. Love the earth, walk barefoot sometimes and live gently in this world. Like everything else about our human lives, it’s resources are finite. ✌🏼
I know I’ve been a little MIA lately, I’m studying for my Canadian Securities, Wealth Management & Life Licenses. I realized very quickly that this goal was going to take focus, time & persistence. A truck load of grit & frankly 90 % of my mental attention 🤦🏽♀️. I took this picture of a lion cub, about five years ago on safari in Eastern Africa, in the Serengeti. It was an odd day, lots of unexpected obstacles. Along the way, as we had to take an unplanned ‘scenic route’ out of the blue two tiny lion cups popped up in the grass. It was startling. We stopped, not sure which way they were going to go. I remember sitting there silently for what seemed like forever, just hanging in the moment. Observing this little beast, us staring, it staring back. The only sound - insects and rustling grass. • It was one of the first times I can recall feeling the fire in my belly begin to ignite. I remember thinking, (esoterically🙄) Chance brought us here. How a million little things led to this exact moment of possibility & look at the reward. A tiny lion cub, in the middle of a space so wide that we could see the horizon, just the three of us and a bajillion unseen creatures chiming a chorus of magnificence. Wow. •
It was in that moment that I realized - hard work, good faith and a clear vision can set you to achieve anything that you can perceive. 🔥Anything🔥
I’ve lost myself a few times since, rung out by life and shitty people. I’ve listened to the nagging voice of doubt and fear and delayed or procrastinated. So what. I’m human. Shit happens. I got lost in the 10% forgetting totally I’m the author of the 90% which in fact is where a purposeful life is made. At the end of the day, it’s the 8th time we get back up that matters, despite having fallen 7 times before.
This new goal knocked the wind out of me last week. This picture popped up in my memories on #fb a few days ago and I was remembering how I felt that day. The limitless possibilities that brought that experience about, and I felt the fire rekindle once again in my belly - and for the 8 THOUSANDTH time in my 40 years, I got back up and decided to get to work. #plantingseeds
I tend to measure life, week to week. When I open my eyes on Sunday morning I feel the familiar stirrings of a new beginning. As I grow older and experience more in my life, I know what a great treasure this simple opportunity is. The vessels that hold us are finite. It’s a worthily goal to live gently while on this earth.
Today as we enter Holy Week, I send to you (reading this) abundant blessings for a peaceful and grounding week ahead. 🙏✨ Anther amazing capture of light by my beloved @ross_hawse Thank you for recording my moment of communication with the universe. ✨#plantingseeds #browchakrahealing .
