With practice, we can see that our wounded child is not only us.
Our wounded child may represent several generations.

Our mother may have suffered throughout her life. Our father may have suffered. Perhaps our parents weren’t able to look after the wounded child in themselves.

So when we’re embracing the wounded child in us, we are embracing all the wounded child in our past generations. This practice is not a practice for ourselves alone, but for numberless generations of ancestors and descendants.

Spending a beautiful day out in nature and seeing all of these gorgeous fall colors reminds me of our solar plexus chakra. Located in the liver, intestines and stomach area. The energetics of this chakra is that our gut hears our truth and feels our desires. It is our will center and place of power where our individuality asserts itself. It’s about the digestive system. The affirmation for this chakra is; I honor my truth and my body. I am powerful beyond measure. I invite you to remind yourselves of this daily! 🍂🍁

I love this as I believe this journey is stepping into all of ourselves everyday! ♥️

“We do not become healers.
We came as healers.
We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become storytellers.
We came as carriers of the stories that
we and our ancestors actually lived.
We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become artists. We came as artists.
We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become writers.. dancers.. musicians.. helpers.. peacemakers. We came as such.
We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not learn to love in this sense.
We came as Love.
We are Love.
Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are.”

Me: Hello God.
God: Hello...
Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?
God: I'd rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you're not a puzzle.
Me: What about all the pieces of my life that fall to the ground?
God: Leave them there for a while. They fell for a reason. Let them be there for a while and then decide if you need to take any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking!
God: No, you don't understand. You're transcending, evolving.
What you feel are growing pains. You're getting rid of the things and people in your life that are holding you back.
The pieces are not falling down. The pieces are being put in place.
Relax.
Take a deep breath and let those things you no longer need fall down.
Stop clinging to pieces that are no longer for you.
Let them fall.
Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that,
what will I have left?
God: Only the best pieces of yourself.
Me: I'm afraid to change.
God: I keep telling you:
YOU'RE NOT CHANGING! YOU'RE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming, Who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be!
A person of light, love, charity, hope, courage, joy, mercy, grace and compassion.
I made you for so much more than those shallow pieces you decided to adorn yourself with and that you cling to with so much greed and fear.
Let those things fall off you.
I love you!
Don't change!
Become!
Don't change!
Become!
Become who I want you to be, who I created. I'm gonna keep telling you this until you remember.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yes. Let it be like this.
Me: So... I'm not broken?
God: No, but you're breaking the darkness, like dawn.
It's a new day.
Become!!
Become who you really are.~

We had such a fun family weekend at bear paw ranch! The days were filled with petting and feeding the animals, going on a scavenger hunt and of course a lot of time spent playing at the park. The evenings were full of great conversations!!
