Going to bed with a bursting heart after my first night as the Mental Health Clinician at a new job. Sometimes I’m so incredibly in awe of my life it takes my breath away.

This new job, with incredible opportunities to travel Australia and support young people, meeting other awesome humans who care about mental health and wellbeing is beyond a dream..

So incredibly in awe of this life I’m creating..

We were approved for a house!!

And just like that I can let go of the breath I didn’t know I’d been holding..

So begins our next chapter..

I feel anger within me today. Like a swirling tornado of irritation within my body and mind.
I’ve had a great week, beginning with a beautiful Wild Being event, presenting in classes on some of my favourite women’s health topics at work, super productive and feeling back in flow after not for a few months.
Yet today, as my weekend begins I feel it within me. The heat. The frustration, the irritation, the eruption waiting to happen.

I could have forgotten to take my antidepressants for a few days, maybe I’m overwhelmed with my sons and their constant needing things from me, the lack of alone time I have. Maybe I’m soul tired and my cup is empty. Maybe I’m sick of not having my own home and playing the endless game of inspection, application, rejection. Maybe I’m sick of not finding pants I love that look good, maybe I’m stretching myself too thin and doing too much. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

It doesn’t feel nice.
I don’t like it when my mind wants to be okay but the rest of me feels heavy with feeling.

I suppose the why of it doesn’t really matter.. it’s what I choose to do with it now.

My gut is asking me to growl and roar while I’m in my own space so I don’t allow my anger to seep out and hurt my children.
My body is asking to shake, stomp, tap and move some of this feeling around.
My face and hands are asking to be rubbed with beautiful oil, my eyes closed, slowly inhaling and exhaling, letting go what needs to go.
My soul is asking for nourishment and gentleness, compassion and understanding.
My mind is asking to write.. so here I am.

ALL of my feeling is welcome, all of my anger and irritation and frustration and overwhelm is welcome.. I have reason to feel.. we all do.

I get to choose what I do with this raging tornado within me today though and I’m going to listen to what my body, mind, heart and soul are asking of me today.

Are you listening to you?
What do you need today?

I met a girl at the library tonight who knew my boys. Her brother was friends with my middle boy. She told me that she and her brother were riding their electric scooter recently and that had they had fallen off and hurt themselves.
At the time she remembered that our house was close by so they went there for help.. she found it all burned and gone. She said she couldn’t believe it.

Our chat made my heart hurt. Made me miss all the kids I used to have coming through my house, even though sometimes I found it so incredibly annoying. Every day one of the boys friends, or people who knew the boys would come over, ask the boys to play, walk through the house, play on the Xbox, jump on our trampoline, call one of their names from over the fence.

People knew we lived there and knew it was a place they could come and be welcomed.

All my life, since I was a kid myself I’d hoped that one day I would have a home where people felt welcome, where they could come and have a snack or hang out, that was open for all who needed a place.

I’m calling in a home that can be the same again, better than our old home even. With a big enough dining area I can have a big table to cook dinners for all our people, a comfy lounge room with space for couches for the boys and their friends to hang out, in a part of Leopold that is easily accessible for the kids to come, knowing they have a safe place if they ever need.

I continue to sit in deep trust, believing with everything in me that we will find a house and a landlord will choose us for the perfect home for my little family and our community.

Missing my home tonight but letting it all wash over me knowing that we’re living a beautiful life and it will only get better.

Dirt under my fingernails,
Glitter over my skin.
Cuts on my feet from dancing barefoot on the forest floor.
The song of joyful, laughing women still ringing in my ears.
The smell of ancient Redwoods and the damp earth lingering with each inhale.
Skin, soft and smooth, the scent of orange and sesame from the hand crafted oils I massaged into my luscious body.
A joyous heart, expanding with love for the incredible experiences I am honoured to be apart of and for the women alongside me on this journey.
Deep, deep gratitude for my friend and co creator .weaving
Light dancing throughout my body, my light, remembering why I’m here.

How could it get any better than this?

Thank you Dear Ones for sitting in circle today, for seeing me, for allowing me to witness you, for your laughter, joy and silliness. You are light. I love you.

What an amazing thing to realise you’ve survived every single challenge that’s been put in front of you, you’ve overcome every breaking apart of yourself, you’ve lived through all the heart ache and it hasn’t destroyed you; that every day there is hope for more beautiful moments and that you have built an unwavering faith and resilience of yourself, showing your children you can do hard things… ooooft, rise baby! Rise.
