Three years ago today, was our last “normal” day in this current world we are living in. Thankfully our today life is drastically different than the days following March 11, 2020.
I woke up this morning and was hit with this realization. First step, get the diffuser going! This blend is 👌
- Green Mandarin – Pure Potential
- Peppermint – Buoyant Heart
- Rosemary – Knowledge and Transition
- Wild Orange – Abundance
- Litsea – Manifestation
Its incredible to think, in these 3 years how significant life has changed and shifted, for some it was extremely drastic, for others mildly affected and for many it was in between.
I look back on MY 3 years and here is what rises for me.
- The world was going SO fast, we needed a slow down. Something so drastic, no – however its also been significant in what has transpired with the “speed” and slow down.
- People began re-thinking their current life and living – do I need this “stuff” or do I need space (out of the city into smaller communities). Value trade proposition was definitely a key driving factor.
- Lean in to what lights you up! ✨️ Personally that was my photography, being out in nature, learning to enjoy silence. Moving my body. Enjoying health and fitness. Spending time as a family. Deeper understanding of my draw to essential oils on an emotional and physical health level. Working with energy and diving deeper within. Pausing more. With gratitude.
- Mental Health – we were all living a life that was literally go, Go, GO! Although I was tending to my own mental health, and had been consciously since 2016, I hadn’t realized the depths that I needed to go. This was for many.
- We need to Feel, to Heal. With this slow down, MANY people were suddenly faced with an abundance of alone time – whether you had people you lived with or not. There was something about this unknown lull that really pulled me in, my soul knew we needed a deeper dive on this and this was the opportunity to really begin to lean in, do some deep healing and re-connect with spirit. The more we ignore our feelings, push them down and away, the more they compound until one day the dam bursts, that could be a breakdown, an injury, addiction from food to booze to drugs and anything in between.
- The importance of knowing MY truth, MY values, MY ethics and knowing those so deeply that I trust myself first, over anyone or anything else. This was pivotal over the past 3 years. Deeply and completely. I got to know myself and was challenged, tested in fact over where I would push aside MY truth, values and ethics for someone else. Truth always prevails.
- Being self sufficient as much as possible within our own homes, including sourcing local healthy foods, drinks, home and body care and cleaning to be free from contaminants, toxins, chemicals etc. that cause irreparable harm (at times) to our health and physical body.
- The power of our own words. If there is one thing that has been pivotal, its recognizing the ultimate power of our words.
- Never sacrifice myself, for someone else.
- When change needs to happen, listen and follow my heart of what I know my truth is. Trust in knowing that it IS OK to stand up for what I know is right.
- MY health, is in my control. That’s it. I choose what is right for me, no one else. I feel how my body feels, I honor the path of my physical and emotional healing.
- Just because someone says something is needed or safe, my heart, mind, soul and body will decipher if that is our truth or not.
- ITS OK TO SPEAK UP. In various situations however what comes up was a doctor gaslighting. “You are trying to do too much, go home take this prescription muscle relaxers and put your foot up more.” With a broken leg, broken medical metal and screws touching with a shifted bone. Just because someone has medical credentials, does NOT mean they know more or should make decisions for your body, that do not feel in alignment. This was a very pivotal point for me. Literally hearing God’s words saying ‘My child it’s time to STAND. You are needed.’ May 2021, the spring my voice strengthened and backbone lengthened.
- Home IS where the heart is 💖! Wherever that is for each of us, the opportunity (with multiple pauses) to continue the customization of our house that was almost complete as our home. As much as I was beyond frustrated in the spring of 2019 when we were told we had 6 mths to begin our 3 home additions… the summer of 2020 proved, spirit ALWAYS has our back. It may seem totally fucked up and senseless at times, alot will not make sense. Had we not been forced to begin the additions, my husband healing journey would have been much harder and more challenging for him.
- Institutionalized school is ok, it’s important for socialization… but it’s NOT the be all, end all. In 2020, although emotionally charged in SO many ways, our kids learned SO.MUCH.MORE! Being home, outside, in our shop, experimenting, being OUT in nature. Real hands on learning vs sitting and listening, albeit some of it was this, in front of a screen. There are many still also healing from this.
- Eyes wide open. Humanity has been reaching this boiling point for a while. A go-go-go society is simply not sustainable. Mother Gaia is shifting in big ways, more of humanity is beginning to see this.
- Truth ALWAYS prevails. It doesn’t matter what “truth”, it always rises higher than the dark dense energy. Feel, to Heal, involves shining the light on this darkness, ✨️ within yourself first, always. You are the only thing within your control. Yup even if you have kids. Instead of pushing emotions down, dig deep, prepare yourself, and be open to what surfaces, be compassionate with your energy body to process, Feel, to Heal. Lean in to living YOUR truth, whatever that may be. With gratitude and appreciation.
Alignment is an interesting thing. The more I lean into ME, my heart and soul, regardless of anyone else, the insights become crystal clear. The soul moves, heartled and patterns to paradise reveal themselves to a peaceful, graceful and ease in life. Alignment is an interesting thing.

The only person in this life who can truly support me, is ME. The more I lean into that, the more magic unfolds. Through the pain, challenges, discomfort, hurt, anger, sadness to the love, beauty, peace, growth, transformation, fun, laughter.

In more ways than one.
Then… MOVE MY BODY! For no one else but me. How I feel, is for me. 💖
