Lighten Up
Happy Canada Day! Strong and free we will be.
With the country so beautiful and green, new babies being born and the land lighting up with new growth. I was inspired to touch on the topic of lightening up. I am drawn to people that have strong interests, open hearts and big smiles. Their energy is light and inviting but their soul is deep and interesting.
I was a very fun and charismatic child with a huge imagination. In the process of growing up and subconsciously trying to prove myself I became very serious. Being serious is helpful in different parts of our life but it is not a place to stay. It can get exhausting, gloomy and boring. Being in the service industry of helping people can take its toll on a person if we are not equipped with the skills to keep ourselves light and protected. If you have a big heart like I do, disconnecting can be the hardest part. I was told by my teacher that we cannot hold onto other people's pieces because those might be the missing pieces they need in their life to finish their puzzle. That really stuck with me, as I had thought I was doing others a favour by holding for them, but really was just getting in the way of their growing. I am very grateful in my life to have the connections and friendships I have of people that can ground me, support me and light me up. Make sure you have those people in your life and ask for help when you need it. If we don't ask, they won't know. Waiting too long will just lead to infection and possibly a scar, so nip the issue in the butt ASAP so you can keep your beautiful soft skin that glows in the world.

I have recently turned 30 and feel like I am stepping into the next chapter of my life. The 20's were very busy building a family ,myself, a career and a home. As I look out the open window and feel the fresh air hit my face. Hearing the birds singing, the horses hooves running and seeing the beautiful blossoms of mother nature. I take a long deep breath, and take it all in!
Knowing that I am unconditionally loved and accepted. That it is time to soak in my bliss and relax in my life. If we can't enjoy our life then what's the point. Joy was on the backburner the last decade but not this one. I look deep into my boys eyes and see the light of their souls. The light that I had as a child. As I am around my kids, the new colts and the blossoming nature the light starts to shine again. Starting from my heart that fills up, then beams out my eyes to light up the world. I am grateful to experience the sensation and look forward to new discoveries.
Know that if you have lost your sparkle it is not gone. Work at getting it back because life is a lot brighter with it.
I know it's possible and am here to support you! Enjoy your life and take it in.
Love and Acceptance,
