Can you strengthen your immune system?

The narrative of the time has been for people to

WASH YOUR HANDS!

And although we have been surprised by how many people do not wash their hands on a regular basis, I believe we need other tools and strategies to understand and help support and strengthen our immune system.

You aren't crazy!

You aren’t crazy! Many of us are feeling a little crazy right now. Listen as a great friend and counselor explains why you might be feeling “off” emotionally and physically! Is it triggering past loss? betrayal? grief? trauma?

“ Almost all trauma occurs under a certain set of circumstances. Victims are unable to escape. The circumstances or perpetrator invoke(s) fear in the victim. There is a power struggle that the victim loses – against another person, system, or nature. At some level, a betrayal occurs (I’ll have to explain that one in another blog!).

Are you a control freak?

Do you know this scenario?!? If you are a parent I’m sure you do! The battle of the wills!

I have had the pleasure of giving births to three very strong willed children. They express their desires and ‘non-negotiables” very differently but nonetheless, I have been in this situation MANY, MANY times!

I have also been the little girl. Daily! I have a very strong will. I set expectations about the day or the outcome and I am VERY frustrated when I don’t “get my way”.

You too?

Your kids too?

Your partner too?

Your parents too?

Your “_______________” (fill in the blank) TOO!?!!?!

What do you expect!?!?

Mom Dreams

So often, we live lives of numbing.

It’s no wonder moms are typically left speechless when asked “What do you dream about doing with your days?”.

I recently sat (kid free) with my dear girl friend and the topic of the future landed in our laps. She and I are both at a point in life where our full time job includes raising littles. I wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass us by. I simply asked her, “What do you dream about doing? What feels life giving to you?”.

She paused.

A long pause.

“I don’t know, I can’t remember the last time I thought about it,” she said.

Mom, please slow down!

How many times has your little one asked you to slow down?

My poor kids. I am a power walker. It’s just how I grocery shop and walk to the car. I forgot when they were small that their little legs couldn’t keep up. Bless their little hearts. How they endured me, I’ll never know.

I sure wish I would have listened.

Are you in the "grief club"?

Grief.

Grief is an enemy and a friend. That is why when you have experienced extreme grief you feel connected to others who have as well. You feel part of the same “club”.

This “grief club” knows that grief is like a torturous villain that surprises you with his presence. When you least expect it fills your heart with so much pain you feel like you could die.

This “grief club” knows that grief is like riding a roller coaster in the dark. You don’t know when you’re going to go up and then plummet down without warning.

How are you REALLY doing right now?

How are you doing?

We are so united as a human race right now! I can safely say every single person has just had their life altered in some way!

How are you doing?

No, how are you REALLY doing?

Are you so busy taking care of so many people that you have forgotten to take care of the basics? We all need to take care of ourselves if we are to get through this time of intense trial healthy and with our relationships in tact.

Is the essential oil lifestyle right for you?

THE BIGGEST QUESTION FOR YOU is

Do you believe in the products you buy?

You can continue buying conventional products.

But every time you purchase a product you vote with the money you give away.

So ask yourself….

Do you ever get headaches from synthetic perfumes and air fresheners?

Do you feel uneasy when a family member gets sick and you don’t have a “go to” that you feel good about?

What are the side effects of those conventional products?

Do your conventional products really even work?

Checking In When You are Shut In

I’m feeling the need to check in with you!! How are you doing!?!? Are you checking in with yourself each day?!? I”m concerned for you all!!

We are a few days into a semi-quarantined state. COVID19 has landed on our globe. Kids are going to doing virtual school and will be home full time. We aren’t going out.

We aren’t going to sports.

I have to do my own grocery shopping and not order them to be delivered. (torture, am I right?!?)

I can’t hire a babysitter.

This is just like the difficult and sometimes miserable old days when I was a stay at home mom.

Yep, I said it.

Let Go to Recharge

Let go of control and do what you need to recharge!

Don’t think for one second that I am not pinching myself in gratitude that this is where I live. I have chosen to live in Florida because I learned as a very young adult that I had to be in the sunshine in order for me to thrive. I went back to college in Cleveland Ohio and really struggled in the winter when I didn’t see the sun. I knew at age 20 that I had to design a life that I loved and moved to Florida. I promised myself that I would always appreciate the palm trees and the sunshine.

From new shoes to new backpacks and new teachers to new friends.

From new schedules to new routines and new classrooms to new teachers.

Feeling Stuck

Stuck in your life?   There’s no movement, there’s no momentum. And I’ve been feeling it.

I want to go through what I’ve been feeling and how I pull myself out of it.

First, this will have to be consistent behavior that’s chosen, so that it can become habit.  When it becomes a consistent behavior of choosing to have the right mindset about being stuck, then it automatically becomes habit.
