I have been reflecting again.
This time on how easy it is to let time slide by without being in contact with family or friends.
It’s easy — not because we don’t care, but because life quietly fills the spaces where a connection once lived.
How often we tell ourselves, “I’ll call or message them tomorrow,” and before we realize it, days turn into weeks… sometimes even months.
I will honestly say there have been moments when I’ve thought, “Why should I always be the one to reach out?” or “It’s their turn to contact me.”
This reflection is a reminder to change that way of thinking.
Tomorrow is not promised.
Connection is more important than hurt feelings or ego.
Sometimes love simply looks like reaching out —
not because we have to,
but because we still can.
Affirmation:
I choose connection over hesitation.
I release ego and open my heart to reaching out with love,
knowing that every moment of connection matters.
Sending you all love and light. Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you.🎅😘❤️

I’ve been sitting on my couch tonight, relaxing and just thinking.
Thinking about me.
About how far I’ve come over the last few years.
I’ve been learning who Shelley truly is on the inside—what makes me happy, what makes me sad, fearful, or worried. I’ve been breaking cycles and relearning things in a way that truly aligns with who I am. This is something I do daily.
I’m learning to speak my truth—first to myself, and then to others.
And yet, I still notice that I put a mask on when it comes to fully showing up and stepping into who I really am. Thoughts come up like:
Should I share some of my posts on my personal page?
What will my family and friends think?
Will I lose friends?
Will people think I’m weird because of what I do?
I love my spiritual journey. I love my readings, Reiki, and the work I do. Many may not understand it—and that’s okay. They don’t need to. What matters is how I feel about it.
For a while, I’ve been partially taking the mask off, stepping out of my comfort zone just enough. But I’m realizing it’s time to fully do it for me. To be who I am—unapologetically authentic—without worrying about what others think.
A friend of mine has reminded me many times that it is none of my business what others think of me.
Writing this feels healing and freeing. And if this gives even one person the courage to step out of their comfort zone, to be their authentic self and speak their truth, then it’s worth sharing.
Being who you are is nothing to feel embarrassed or fearful about.
Closing Affirmation:
I choose to honor my truth, trust my path, and show up as my authentic self—fully, freely, and without apology. I release the need for approval and step into who I truly am, knowing my authenticity is my power. I am safe to be seen. I am safe to be heard. I am safe to be exactly who I am. I trust the unfolding of my journey and allow my true self to shine, reaching those it is meant to.

THE HOLIDAYS

---

This time of year — the holidays — can be a deep struggle for many, and I can resonate with that on so many levels.

I find myself thinking of my parents even more during this season. I carry such beautiful memories of holidays spent with my mom’s whole family: Grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins all gathered together. And every few years we’d make the trip to Thunder Bay to visit my dad’s side of the family. Those were such meaningful times.

The holidays have changed so much for me since my parents passed. I still have my sons, my brothers, and their families, but the gatherings just aren’t as big as they used to be, or as frequent. I’ve spent a few Christmases crying in private, feeling the weight of what’s different. I’ve also been on my own for the last 15 years, which adds its own layer of emotion to this season.

But through my spiritual journey over these past five years, my perspective on the holidays has shifted. I’ve learned to be more grateful for what I do have and for the family and friends who are in my life now, instead of slipping into the old “poor me” mindset. I’ve been in that place before, and it wasn’t fun — it was heavy and lonely.

Now I remind myself that the holidays become what I choose to make them, shaped by my attitude and the energy I bring into them. Yes, thinking about those past times can still make me sad, because things could have been so different. But it’s also a reminder of the importance of offering myself ease, grace, and compassion.

May your days leading up to the holiday be joyous and happy. Remember you are never alone.😘❤️

Hello everyone ❤️

I want to take a moment to welcome all my new followers, as well as those who have been with me since the very beginning. I am truly grateful for each and every one of you.

I felt called to share a little bit about why I do what I do. For many years, I felt lost and unsure of my purpose in this lifetime. Then one of my Soul Sisters encouraged me to take my Reiki Level One for self-healing. I had no idea how deeply it would impact me. The healing I experienced was powerful, transformative, and something I had been searching for without even knowing it.

Feeling that shift within myself, I knew I needed to continue—both for my own growth and so I could support others on their journeys as well. Since then, I’ve taken many courses across different modalities, each one bringing me deeper into alignment with who I truly am. I’ve found my purpose, and I am endlessly grateful for everything I’ve learned… and everything I will continue to learn. I am a student of life now, and I absolutely love every moment of it.

Do any of you resonate with this?
If you have questions, feel called to a healing session, or feel drawn to becoming a student yourself, please reach out. I would love to connect.

Take care, and sending you all love and light,
Shelley ❤️✨

Being mindful of those little things are actually huge steps to inner healing. Remember to celebrate yourself along the way. Sending you all love and light. Much love, Shelley ❤️
