Thank you for the growth, 2022 🙏

I've collected wonderful memories this year, memories which center around me feeling grounded in nature. 

I travelled a lot within the country this year and had exceptional experiences. The recollections of them still pull me in to those moments and I can see, hear, taste, smell & almost feel the things around me. 

I feel like I've grown a lot through the year & with me, the women around me as well. We are breaking generational curses, removing toxic energy from our lives, pursuing forgotten passions as well as new interests & reconnecting with our Inner Child. 

We are painting, reading, cooking, gardening, dressing up & turning our spaces into what we desire. We are setting new intentions for the new year and aiming to stick to them. All we can do is try. I'm just really happy to see us trying, everyday. And learning to rest, when we need to and even when we dont.

I'm entering 2023 with the intention of taking care of myself even more and spending more time in nature. I hope to manifest a lot more too. My wish is for you all to do the same with your desires.

Boundaries

I've been thinking about boundaries a lot, lately. The more I establish them, the more I feel at peace. I've spent my whole life feeling responsible for other people's emotions, with an inherent need within me to rescue them. 

The more I educate myself on why I am the way I am, I realise it is because of my childhood conditioning. And I realised how draining some relationships in my life were. 

I've learned to place a healthy boundary with those people now. Some, I've completely drifted away from. Not with animosity but with a quiet calm. 

Your boundaries are sacred. They are what keeps your inner peace intact. And it is a process, learning to honour those boundaries 🙏

Rebirth

Coincidentally, this full moon; a time of rebirth & resolution, falls on September 10th, which is World Suicide Prevention Day. Many years ago, on this day, I went through something that scarred me for life. And so every year after that, this date is a reminder of the worst day of my life. 

C-PTSD nearly took my life a few years ago. But somehow, I held on. I dont know how but I'm grateful I did. Because despite the memories associated with this date, I am in a much better place now. Many things I yearned for, I have them now. I'm glad I managed to stick around for it. 

So this full moon, I cleaned my home & now I'm cleaning up my mind. And I'm counting my blessings. Tomorrow will be better 🙏
