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

Episode 3 is ready!!!!

Okay full transparency here. I am having so much trouble with getting the audio right for these episodes. If there is anyone out there who has any suggestions, I would be so appreciative. I don't know what I am doing wrong 😬 If you have any insight and willing to share, please PM me.

I hope you can get past the weird audio sound and enjoy it anyway. Maybe you won't even notice and I am just hypersensitive 🤣I promise at some point down the road I will get this right. I appreciate everyone for bearing with me 🙏

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? 🤨

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 💜

It's been a minute since I recorded my first episode. I had loads of technical issues and learning since then and I am pleased to say, I think I have figured it out. Until the next thing 🤪 As for now, my plan is to get them out bi-weekly. Is Wednesday a good day? I am open to feedback on that.

Anyway, you can catch episode 2 at the link below and if you didn't catch episode1, you can find it there too.

Happy listening!!! 🥰

Today my tiny buddha calendar says the following:

“𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦”

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 it’s days like today that remind me we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, and if I want to do something, I better get my head out of my ass and do it 🌟

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 it’s too late 🌟

So here it is, me facing my fears once again. Please don’t underestimate the level of discomfort I am feeling right now. This is so outside of my safe zone. However…….I am also really excited 🤩

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 🌟

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 💙🦋

Ps. It’s also available on Apple Podcasts if you don’t use Spotify....... link is in Link Tree in bio 😁

Possession Day! Can't wait to show you this space when it's ready

𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒!!!!

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 🤣. 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, Marc’s world shatte...
