what my dog and I have in common 🫶

This has been a special week, Reader. My little one turned the big 9 years old! And David and I celebrated our 20th anniversary!!! Yes, our anniversary is on “April Fools Day.” 😆 (It was yes a bit of a joke for my mother in law but also we were headed to Bhutan for our honeymoon and we needed to leave on a certain date…) For our anniversary date, David and I ran with our Australian shepherd, Laika on the trails near our house. While Laika is off leash, since she is a herding dog, she dovetails between the two of us and will stop and wait if one of us is behind. I thought of how sometimes my life as a mom, in this season of my life, is similar to this. I get a bit ahead, but then I wait (physically, mental-emotionally, or spiritually) for my family to catch up or to make sure they are okay. And though I love this, sometimes my forward progression feels slower or more distracted than I would like. Have you ever felt this way about your career~your goals and dreams~your life journey? You are not alone. It’s just part of your nature while on this mom / parent journey. So, what are you running or walking towards? What’s on your list “to do” or “to be?” Here’s to loving the process as well as progression and the waiting for those we love to “catch up” to us. Xo be well 🫶cp Ps.

Hi hiReader! This week in our house we are reflecting on “What do you want to learn this summer?” This was of course a question I proposed, followed by my boys groaning, “NOOOOOO schoolwork, Mom!”. But I flipped it for them - they were surprised - and I said school work is off limits for the learning in summer plan! My answers were YES! And Hmmm… *School teacher disclaimer - summer slide is real over here. I just can’t fight it. Thank you for helping me! And..My older son wants to learn how...
Hey hey Reader! Four weeks until summer break over here…I am not fist pumping because I am having a hard school semester 😆 BUT I am looking over my affirmations / wishes / to-do list… And trying to make sure all things are done before the kids are home for summer break. I had wanted to finish a couple of coaching courses and another healer course before June 11th. After checking in with what has been done and what’s LEFT to do, I am coming up short! I am frustrated. I didn’t get it all done....
I love love love the energy of my house. It is a home with all the “sounds of life.” (A term my yoga teacher, Shiva Rea uses.) It’s filled with laughter, joy, brothers wrestling, lots of legos, Alexa music choices of Metallica, Crazy Frog… It’s a full on sensory experience. Which is wonderful AND can be “too much for my nervous system.” (Says ME, OFTEN!!) But Reader, what I’m really saying is, “I need more SENSORY REST up in here!” 👉🏼The 7 types of REST (with some examples): Physical: can be...
