I’ve gone missing in action 😅😅😅
Receiving this land into my custodianship has been like the arrival of a newborn baby… and I feel like that, like a mum with a newborn, trying to feel into the pulse of this new life I’m caring for, with so many more layers to tend to, so many new steep learning curves in the caring of this most beautiful land, taking Noah off school early on Fridays to drive up, or Noah missing school on Mondays because we needed more time up there….
….so tired physically and overwhelmed at times…. just as a Mama with a new bub…. And in the same way sooooooo endlessly in love! And wanting to do nothing other than caring for her! Blown away by her beauty and all the different layers she is revealing to us the more time we spend with her 💖💕
…I was really starting to ponder whether I planted my yearly intention and prayer for this year in opposite day, as my prayer was for deeper SIMPLICITY 😅
But as I’m presented with a landscape that looks like quite the opposite of my prayer 😆😮💨💕 I really feel that what I’m being presented with is with the perfect opportunity to renew my commitment to simplicity and my ability to live my life in simplicity even when life is so incredibly full, how do I continue to walk in alignment with my prayer? What needs to change? What needs to go?...
And as you know one of my first commitments is to care for my energy, so I can give from overflow… and so, overflow can be a bit of a delicatessen these days hahahahaha because I’m also tending to my parents on their last week in Sydney, but even within that, the question walking with me in every moment remains:
“How can I choose simplicity? What can I drop so I can be present to what my heart is calling me to right now, without overstretching myself more than I need to?”
So I had to drop pretty much all other branches in my tree to simplify and be present…and not overstretch too much, putting self care at the top of my list, taking my supplements, caring for my sleep… as I settle into the new flow of life 🥰
And I wanted to share this with you, to remind you that you don’t need to hold it all together!
To remember it is ok to disappear into the woods of your own life and just be present to what is calling for your attention, to slow down, to drop branches…
Consistency is overrated and unhealthy… nothing in nature is consistent…. Why should we be if we are also part of nature?
It’s your right to care and tend to what your body is asking for, to say NO to things so you can reclaim space for what makes your heart sing!
I love you! 💕 and I feel your love… I can’t wait for the moment we sit on that land together to share ceremony and celebrate life ✨
“Casa Colibri” is her name 🌈✨
I hope you are well 😊
Sending you soooooo much love from this Mama heart to yours 🥰
