CONNECTION
Yesterday morning we went for a coffee in town and sat opposite us was a couple, the guy wearing an 'I ❤️ Birmingham' cap. As we were leaving, I felt a pull towards them, I had to ask them if the hat was from Birmingham, UK. They replied yes at the same time, explaining that their daughter lives over there in Solihull. Wow, that's where I'm from! We ended up talking, crying and offering comfort to each other in the middle of this little country cafe about 18,000kms away from Solihull. The couple said their daughter had a stroke a few years ago and they go over when they can to look after her and have missed her terribly over the past few years. They asked about my family and commented how I must miss them. My tears were just flowing 😭 and they held space for me while I let them pour. As we were saying bye, the woman said, 'you're welcome to come over and talk about your family and Solihull anytime and please let us know if we can help while you're pregnant' 🥰. The beauty and comfort when connecting with certain souls will always be amazing to me. I'm so glad I spoke to this lovely couple, I could feel the empathetic energy we shared.
As humans we are hardwired to connect. We are designed to connect with one another. Some connections serve their purpose for short periods, some for moments, some for long periods and some for life. I love that all these connections carve out our individual paths and I often remind myself that there is so much power in a comforting word, a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear and someone to hold space for you ❤️
When was the last time you felt a powerful connection in your life?
If your looking for more connection in life right now, yoga is on tomorrow - Monday 5:45-6:45pm @ Rhythm Snowsports Multifunction Room (park around the back of the shop and the door to the studio will be open 15 mins before). The little community we're building while we share our practice is wonderful. Come along and be part of this connection. I have a beautiful restorative, slow, tension releasing practice planned for us 🙏✨
