It was exactly one year ago.
It was the first day of school when the skies became smokey. Fires began to grow and eventually ripped through our region. Over 2,800 homes were lost when it all was said and done. Currently, a year later, the air outside is smokey. This morning, the ground was covered in ash. It seems to be a moment of remembering all the loss of a year ago for our community. Yesterday, we started back to school again. The sky was smokey and the air was thick with smoke yet again.
I was not impacted nearly the same way as many in our community. I know the impact the events of last year had on many but I am grateful that I was not a victim of the fires that ravaged our communities. However, the tensions for me were still high. The memories are still there, stored in my body and subconscious.

I share this to gently remind us all that we notice. We remember.
Often times, we don't allow time to process events. Situations. Emotions. Eventually, the moment passes. Then, something shows up, bringing up the emotions and memories and the trauma that was not processed. Sometimes we have processed so we only have some residue show up. Other times, we struggle to have any processing and it all comes back as though we are reliving the same situation with the same intensity of emotions. Wow. Is it not fascinating how our bodies and mind work?
It is coming up on the 2 year anniversary of my mom's passing. I am nearing the final stage of wrapping up my parents' estate. (My dad passed almost 9 years ago.) So, for over 8 years, I have been dealing with family estate "stuff" in one way or another. I can honestly say that I don't believe that I have processed the loss of either of my parents fully due to all that has been on my plate. I am both anxious and excited to be nearing the end of this chapter- I know that my emotions will be a wreck once it is all officially complete.
My emotions are lingering. I feel them, whether in my heart or in my body. They are waiting to show up in some form or another. Some already have. Some have yet to show themselves but are waiting...

So my question to you is: What do you need to remember? What do you need to process and push through in order to heal?
When we heal, we heal mentally. Emotionally. Physically. We heal in our mind-body-spirit. We grow and change instead of staying stuck and stagnant.
How can I help you in your healing journey?
This week.
Spring Break.
The last week of March is always Spring Break in Oregon.
It is a WONDERFUL break for me... as a mom. Not just for the kids. ;) It is nice to have a low key schedule, with little to no agenda and the ability to just REST. My goal is all about SLEEP and rest as I am working SO hard to build my health. My body and my health depends on it.
Seriously. My HEALTH depends on Sleep.
I think we often forget how simple things, like water and sleep, are so very important in our lives. They matter so much for our health and well-being. Those little things we take for granted and often don't think about the significance in our longevity.
As I get older, I am the typical person who NOW sees how health matters. As my health and weight and sleep are impacted and all in question, although improving, I am working hard on understanding the link between those pieces as well as my emotions. That has been my PASSION these days, as I understand now how the emotions impact the body. How they are stored in the body.
Emotions have frequency. Emotions can help raise, or lower, our frequency in our body. Raising, or lowering, our frequency impacts our health. Water, nutrition, sleep, emotions are ALL pieces that impact our health in part through frequency.
It has been a fascinating journey to learn about frequency and emotions and how they relate to the body. How Positive Mindset increases frequency and changes our health.
I am excited to begin sorting the pieces around my journey to be able to share more with my followers! It is the reason that I became an Aroma Freedom Technique and Emotion Code practitioner and why I am continuing by working on Body Code Certification. I see the value of the frequency in the body. The mindset and how beliefs, both positive and negative, impact us as a whole. Body, mind and soul.
Now, as I continue my Spring Break, I am going to continue my REST. My restorative time for ME. My health and healing journey has had me learning so much about myself and my health and my emotional baggage. You know, all the emotional components that have impacted my health and body.
Oh, and I JUST received my grounding mats (Yes, PLURAL!) today! I have heard such great things about them- like reducing EMF/WIFI, Gaining quality sleep, reducing stress, reducing inflammation, seeing more energy, improved circulation, detoxification, muscle tension reduction and MORE! If only HALF of these apply to me, I will still be in a far better state! I mean, I think I might be able to conquer the world with more sleep AND more energy! #momlife
Have you heard of EARTHING/GROUNDING? Have YOU tried it? I would love to hear your results!!
