New shoes by because having toe splay and allowing my foot to functional as it was designed is a no brainer.

Conscious walking in minimalist shoes allows your body to feel and the ground beneath it and feed much needed information to the brain about where the body is in time and space (Proprioception).

This is so important especially for balance. The thinner the sole the more you feel.
The more you feel the more information feeding into your brain helping your body respond and move appropriately to its environment.

We have become so conditioned to think that no feeling the ground is normal and helpful and the opposite is in fact true. There are times and places where addition cushioning can be helpful, however being stuck in excessive cushioned footwear for most of your life creates more harm than good. I see the effects of this very day.

Feeling is good. It’s information. It’s necessary. It assists healthy movement.

Today I celebrate 51 trips around the sun.

This is my truth.

I am deeply grateful for this life, and for this body that has carried me through.
A body that birthed and raised three incredible humans.
A body that endured heartbreak, betrayal, deceit, and abandonment.
A body that forgave, rebuilt, and rose again and again.

Now, I give myself permission to thrive—
to rise higher than I ever dreamed, unapologetically and gloriously.
In the radiance of my divine feminine gift, I will love and be loved,
heal and be healed, share wisdom and receive it,
grow spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually.

I embrace this life without fear,
trusting that the universe guides me,
and that what is meant for me will always find me.
I know now. I cannot unsee.

To my wounded inner child:
I am proud of you.
You kept me safe and gentle through it all.
Now you can rest.
I’ve got you.
Go play in the trees, in your happy, safe place.
You don’t need to keep watch anymore.
No one can hurt you now.

I have learned:
My body is strong and becoming stronger.
I can trust my gut.
I am not broken.
I can travel alone.
I can and will create the life I desire.
I can and will drink from all the cups life offers me.
Love will find me when I least expect it.
I can heal.
I can stand in my truth, face my shadows, and embrace all that I am.

For within me is both light and dark,
and each day, I choose my path.
To age is a privilege.

I am grateful.

Thank you to all who have crossed my path in the last 51 years. You all played a part in shaping me into the version I am today.

Today I had the privilege of observing Podiatric surgeon Dr. Steven Edwards perform various foot and ankle procedures. -
-
One of today’s surgical cases was a beautiful long time client of mine. I was honoured and grateful to be able to be present went she underwent her foot surgery and thrilled to see her happy smiling face post surgery.

It’s not very often that I refer clients for surgery, but when I do, I am thankful that I have total confidence in Dr. Steven Edwards and his surgical team.
Thank you for an amazing day.
