I fed my spirit with time needed and reconnected to my daily pleasures and joyful nurchering.
No one will give us the time to take care of ourself, it is always our choice and our planning.
When days are so full I try to wake up with the sunrise and connect within as I breathe in consciously the precious moments of care giving for myself.
Rushing around with deadlines and details continue to try to take me away from the importance of my needs.
Days seem to fly by and the detication to my health and wellness has to be woven into everything I do.
When I care and support myself I will be supported and resentment won't build up and make me a victim.
Uncomfortable negativity can be released when I acknowledge my feelings.
When my heart opens I connect to the presence and moving forward is easier.
I look at any emotional pain as a great opportunity to be with myself.
Safe communication and intimacy with loved ones can be the pathway to awarness.
Choosing to care for my own heart continues to create a sacred space for anyone who enters my daily life.
Day and night time rituals keep me connected with my mind, body, soul and spirit.
Make the choice to connect!

A Mother's Faith
Every picture that I have seen of our Mother when she was pregnant seemed to capture how she just glowed in a radiance of love. She was told that she could never have children and her faith created her love story.
It was before ultra sound and the doctor had to rely on his stethoscope as he announced that there was more than one heart beat.
Over the next six months it was becoming obvious that Mom was carrying triplets...there were three separate heart beats and a lot of movement.
Mom's dream wa coming true as she anticipated motherhood.
When she would share her excitement with Dad he would hold her and together they giggled nervously as they embarked on their journey.
I can't imagine how busy it was to have three babies at once.
I miss Mom's stories and I remember how she expressed them with such gratitude. Being a Mother was her greatest gift and accomplishment. This sacred place of memories would resonate with happiness and devotion each time she would share her care giving experience as a young Mom.
It is Mother's Day and I am feeling the beauty of Mom's heart and the journey that she took with Motherhood. I miss you Mom! Thank you for being my inspiration.
Today I celebrate all Mothers with Gratitude.

Each Day Is A New Beginning
Each day is a new beginning, another opportunity to start again, to refresh ourselves and begin to live with more understanding.
Each moment is a precious time for connection within and with another.

Heaven is felt
My first Mother's Day without my Mom. The day took me through the pathway of emotions where I landed...a deeper coonnection with my life and truth.
I wrote this today....
Now that Mom is gone, I realize that heaven for me was in her heart. That is where I always felt uncondional love and a safe place to share my pain and fears.
She never judged or criticized me. Mom always made me feel my worth and she held me when I didn't.
I can be with her when I give to my children the same space and time. This connection of a Mother's heart was handed to me when I was born. 56 years of living it with her strengthened this sacred temple in me...
A MOTHER'S HEART CHANBER OF LOVE, FAITH, UNDERSTANDING AND HOPE.
I am so grateful

Happy Mother's Day
This is the first Mother's Day without my Mom! I am spring cleaning at our parents and family home on the lake this week. As I sort out and re-organize closets, I am being taken down memory lane. Mom kept her treasures and I haave the honor to peek into them. I have spent hours as time unfolds the many gifts left behind. I laugh with sweet joy and I cry with tears of love as I feel her energy around me.
With Mother's day coming, I feel the loss of my Mom. As I reach into the emptiness that grief takes me, I journey to the details in cards she received and notes she wrote. Every compartment of a hutch or drawer holds precious gifts of Mom's life that she treasured.
As I journey with my life without my Mother physically, I feel her so present and I know that she is here with me in my heart. My tears have created more space and this is where she lives.
When I connect to my heart I feel you Mom.
Thank you, I miss you xoxoxo
To all Mothers....May you feel grace and loveliness as you connect to family love as your reflection. I am in gratitude to your loving kindness.
I celebrate each of you.
As a Mother, I give thanks to my children for choosing me to be their Mom.
I love you to the moon and back.

Our Connection With Healthy Communication
It is so important to create space with coversations so that we can be present with our feelings as we hear the emotions rising up with the words spoken.
If you are connecting within and with a person you will get clarity into what is really going on....this is mindfulness.
I usually find that during conversations with my loved ones, this space that I give can open a pathway of feelings to be shared once the safe place has embraced the connection and conversation.
Often one of my daughters can get to a place to release any fears, hurts and disappointments once they become safe to open up.
Authenticity and intimacy flows because of this precious time of sharing.
When I am plunged into a drama, I become conscious of what I am feeling and my breath connects me to the present moment. Instead of reacting or moving into fixing mode, my breathing centers me and I can see clearly what is going on.
I remember a time when I did not know how to take care of my emotional body and my awareness was not strong enough. I would be ignited into a past experience with emotional pain and my connection would get clouded by guilt, neediness, fear, disappointment, control, anger, judgment or self-doubt. My heart disconnection would pull me into the drama placing my old pain over the situation.
As I continue to learn to live more present, I can see the drama or person as the gift to allow me the opportunity to respond differently.
It feels so good to stay connected to my open heart when my children, family, husband or friends need a safe heart to see the truth gently reflected.
When I am clear, the drama has a chance to dissolve and my reflection without negative charge opens a doorway for the flow of healing energy of peace and unconditional love.This is our responsibility as we consciously create safe communication and healthy relationships
