Summer Joy

I've had my hands in the dirt, cats & coursework this summer so I haven't posted much here.

☆☆The garden & advanced clinical breathwork course I'm doing demanded a new algorithm. ☆☆

Some things are still growing & ripening. New seeds being planted. Old branches trimmed. All in nature's time.

Grateful for nature setting the pace & priorities.... & those cats who remind us how to chill, be still & just breathe.

It was truly a joy!

To give my time to such a great cause surrounded by beauty.

If you couldn't make it to today's fundraising event, please follow House of Peace & consider donating online and join us next year!

The young women House of Peace stole my heart last year while offering them small group nervous system workshops.
☆Such dedication to becoming self-sufficient
☆ Incredible stories of resilience & joy after unimaginable traumas.

So it was an instant easy YES! when Rosa asked me to lead a breathwork session.

This event was generously hosted by Jan & team Pineridge Hollow + The Village. The food was delicious & such attention to detail. & those beet chips...

Rosa reminded us that we are all actually 'returning to the joy' that is already there & has never been more than a breath away.

Face down.

Recovery afternoon after a weekend full of stimulation & thinking & moving quickly volunteering at my home-town fair kitchen.

It was a very loooong & hot, humid day so I am satiated from all the connections (& pie) I am also speeeent.

Just me, the lawn, some daddy longlegs spiders (well & this video & need to post content about 'doing🧐)

Give this position on the lawn (or park near you) a try. Bonus points if you don't interrupt your rest to post about it💋

Throw it away!

'throw away the idea
that you need to pause your life
until you are fully healed;
this is a different way of being attached to perfection.
progress happens when you
make better choices in the midst of living.
you can simultaneouslyheal your past
while being open to the present.

Hopefully a validating & encouraging read.

Consistency isn't simply a matter of willpower. It's a nervous system capacity. That realization changed everything. Most importantly, it helped me befriend the aspects of myself I was struggling with for so long.

Happy Canada Day!

Thanks Dan N Pam Goertzen for an amazingly relaxing time.

& to the RM of Louise & community for hosting the fabulous fireworks & community gathering at Starmound.

The Beaver up close & personal...seemed injured...it did eventually slip back into the water.
