So here I am, alive and (mostly) well…

Well, well, well, it's been four or so years and here I am, getting back to what my heart needs; writing and sharing, processing and spreading. A lot has happened since I've been officially online here!

So it's April...and sure enough, I've somehow disconnected from what matters to me and feeds my soul; writing. So I thought "Hm, how do I write about wellness and what keeps me afloat when I haven't felt well and I haven't been floating?" I've sat with this for a few weeks now...All I've come up with is, "Go with it and write. Reach out and say it how it is". So here goes it …

Change. Apparently it's the only constant, predictability we can ever expect ... so why is it so darn hard?!

My thoughtful Mama wondered recently why I haven't been writing on here. She said she checks it on the regular to see what I'm writing (really moved me to hear that...even as a grown up, it makes you feel proud to know your parents are curious about you and your stuff!)...And there it was-an 'ah-ha' moment hit me like a ton of bricks!

This poem was passed on to me this week...had to pass it on. My favourite lines are the last three...for me, beyond what any healthy food, therapy, working out, hanging out with friends can do, these two lines are at the core of true wellness.

It's been quite the few weeks of pre-trip madness at work, so I've not posted for a little longer than I'd like. My partner and I are headed to California in less than 24 hours and I could not be more thrilled. We get to see our sweet baby niece, her awesome parents, and then explore the Pacific Coast line....Yessssssss. Feeling blessed.

When you're living presently, what strange surprises have you noticed?

The message below was forwarded to me by a lovely colleague who knows I am a sucker for anything animal related. And I was inspired to pass it on because our fluffy counterparts in the pictures can tell us a lot about living well.
