How is this beautiful girl 4? These notes seem harder and harder to write every year because I know she is one step closer to being able to read them and one step closer to experiencing the challenges of life.

It's been a while since I sat down to write. Even though I wrote it for Sparrow, I needed each and every one of these reminders.

My sweet Sparrow Faith Harper, it's your fourth birthday, and as always, I have a few things to share with you. When you look at the world right now, there is a lot of misinformation, misguidance, misunderstanding, hate, division, and truth be told, hurt. People tend to do as they please and say w

If there is one song that can describe what goes on in my head on a daily basis......it's this one. How have I not heard this until now?????? Have I been living under a rock? ๐Ÿคจ

For anyone on here who lives with anxiety or who may be someone who is often guilty of foreboding joy (Brene Brown term), you probably resonate with this song like I do.

We are all a work in progress!

Enjoy ๐Ÿ’œ

Today my tiny buddha calendar says the following:

โ€œ๐˜š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ง๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ณ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถโ€™๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆโ€

Fitting. The last eight years have been a roller coaster of emotions, growth, and facing fears. I have been reflecting on this day eight years ago a lot lately, and just a few days ago, I sat down, swallowed my pride, faced my fears, and did something I have wanted to do for several years. I could have kept putting this off for who knows how long, but itโ€™s days like today that remind me we arenโ€™t guaranteed tomorrow, and if I want to do something, I better get my head out of my ass and do it ๐ŸŒŸ

Nick and Anna, I promise never to take this life and the opportunities I have for granted. I watched you both leave this earth far before I was ready to say goodbye and because of that, I will have a never-ending reminder to face my fears and get s**t done before itโ€™s too late ๐ŸŒŸ

So here it is, me facing my fears once again. Please donโ€™t underestimate the level of discomfort I am feeling right now. This is so outside of my safe zone. Howeverโ€ฆโ€ฆ.I am also really excited ๐Ÿคฉ

Although I am an avid podcast listener, I have much to learn about hosting, so please bear with me as I navigate this new adventure. There are already things I want to change but I knew if I waited until this thing was perfect, it would never go out ๐ŸŒŸ

I hope you enjoy the first of many as I honor the memory of Nick and Anna by sharing my first-ever episode of Meg Roberts Unplugged ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฆ‹

๐„๐—๐‚๐ˆ๐“๐ˆ๐๐† ๐๐„๐–๐’!!!!

I was going to wait until I was officially moved in and could share pictures of the new Hope & Healing Sanctuary, but I just couldn't wait any longer.

One of the first things that happened this year for my business was I stumbled upon an opportunity that I knew was meant to be. I have been contemplating renting a full time space for my private practice but nothing felt right until I was introduced to Soulidarity. I immediately reached out to see if they would accept a counsellor into their space and sure enough, they did.

I am so excited to go from renting someone else's space by the hour (which has been so nice to be able to do), to having a space of my own that will, over time, become The Hope & Healing Sanctuary.

So here is where you come in. Scott and I have been figuring out what I need for this space to make it comfortable and appealing for those who will be trusting me with their growth and healing journey. If you are someone who has been to therapy or has considered it, what are some must haves, or important features of a therapy space?

I know for me, the furnitrue and the types of coffee cups are so important. So please, share with me what you think. Feel free to private message me if you don't feel comfortable sharing public.

I will keep you all posted of my official opening date. I take possession of this space on February 1st but likely won't be ready for in person clients just yet.

I have been working on being patient with not only myself but timelines of things, so I am taking this process as slowly as I need to in order to make sure things align as they are meant to.

Thank you so much Amy for welcoming me into your space https://www.soulidarity.ca

Location: 105 Elma St W Okotoks, Alberta (Nicely between Calgary and High River)

"You must really miss him."
"It's complicated"

That dialogue alone intrigues me to watch this movie.

I loved Daniel Levy in Schitts Creek. So much so that I watched the series at least three times from start to finish ๐Ÿคฃ. I look forward to seeing more of his work, especially on this topic.

I've been missing Nick a lot lately, and not a single day goes by that I don't think of him. Some days are just a fleeting thought; others are so much more.

Is it complicated? Oh yes. Very.

It is an everlasting balance: I love my life and don't want to change anything, and I miss you so so much.

Marc (Dan Levy) was content living in the shadow of his larger-than-life husband, Oliver (Luke Evans). But when Oliver unexpectedly dies, Marcโ€™s world shatte...

The Road to Recovery Starts Here

Tragedy can strike at any moment and can devastate you. You might feel that you will never recover from the pain you're feeling and that the grief has consumed you. But there is hope. Meg Roberts, a former police officer, psychology student and certified life coach in Calgary, can help. She has made it her mission to help others overcome their grief so they can enjoy their lives to the fullest. After facing multiple tragedies herself, Meg made it her purpose to encourage others to take control of their lives, ensuring they have the courage and will to enjoy life, not let tragedy destroy it. Through Courageous Life Coaching and The Grief Recovery Method, she can help you take control back in your life. Her warmness, compassion and support will help you in this dark time so that you can look forward to a life of fulfilment. If you are struggling after a heartbreaking loss, book your appointment with Meg today.

Meg Roberts is a former Police Officer, a current University student studying Psychology, a Certified Coach Practitioner and a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. Meg's passion for life coaching and grief support was developed through many years of digging deep herself and having to learn the hard way multiple times throughout her life. In 2012 Meg experienced an unexpected death in her family, which opened her eyes to the reality among us all; mortality. Although Meg had witnessed hardships, tragedy, and death on a regular basis through her job, it never really hit her just how fragile and precious this life is, and why it is so important to do what makes you happy. Following this experience, Meg decided to move her career to a bigger city in hopes of having the light inside of her reignited. Quitting policing didnโ€™t seem to be an option, as it was something she worked so hard for. Not to mention, it was a financially stable job with endless benefits. At first, she was living the dream and loving her new life. She not only found the work to be exciting and gratifying, but she also met the love of her life as a result of her relocation. The honeymoon stage with her newfound love blossomed into a solid and dependable relationship, but the honeymoon stage in her career vanished quickly. In 2014 Meg shared a message with many of her close friends and family, pleading for support and advice in relation to her career. Meg had been a Police Officer since 2008 and so many times felt stuck and capable of so much more. Policing is an admirable job and those who make the decision to pursue it should be commended. However, for many years, despite loving many parts of the job and being good at it, Meg knew from the depths of her soul that policing was not her calling, and she was determined to find out what was. Megโ€™s career continued to grow, and she found herself in a position she found rather satisfying, but highly stressful, and required her to sacrifice a lot of her personal life. It was exhausting, never-ending, and soul-sucking because it did not align with any of her core values in terms of life balance. Meg knew she had to make some changes, and the love of her life Nick was on board right alongside her. The two of them came up with an attainable five-year plan, and the journey to a new, more abundant life began. Only weeks after this newfound plan was crafted, Meg was hit with a life-changing tragedy. Nick died suddenly in an Avalanche while snowmobiling, only months before she was supposed to marry him. This was only one month after she purchased the most beautiful wedding dress she had ever seen. Megโ€™s heart was shattered and her world had completely fallen a part. On February 20, 2016, Meg was given a life she didnโ€™t ask for and one she could have never prepared for. She truly believed she had only two choices; she either lived, or she didnโ€™t. Meg chose to live, and when she chose to live, she wasnโ€™t choosing to merely exist, she was choosing to live in a way that was fearless, intentional, and always aligned with her soul.

Courageous Life Coaching was only one of Megโ€™s aspirations, and it has been built on the premise that you can truly take control of your own story as long as you have a will to do so. Anything is possible and undesirable circumstances do not have to destroy you, nor do they have to define you. Meg has made it her life mission to live on purpose and wants nothing more than to encourage others to do the same.
