I want to share with you something quite personal about my journey in the last 6 months. I think one day I may go into the details of this as there is a book there somewhere I’m sure, but for now the specifics aren’t so relevant, so I will just say that it was a prolonged traumatic experience/s over many days, on top of the ‘usual’ grief (whatever that is!) of the loss of a loved one. Life often throws us ‘big stuff’ and when the ‘proverbial’ hits the fan it can really knock us off course and keeping ourselves on an even keel, staying grounded, connected and keeping a sense of calm in the mayhem can be incredibly challenging, if not impossible at times. Read more about my recent personal journey through the 'proverbial'....
“No matter how down or low you feel, focus on even the slightest glimmer of beauty and joy you see around you in each moment and pull it into your heart. The more you draw these moments in, the more you'll be able to see and then, before long, these moments join up and gather momentum, until you find you are happy...” Trauma, grief, losing faith in ‘the light’ and finding reconnection - grab a cup of something warm, we’re going in…☕️
