Another beautiful night out on Lake Minnewasta for SUP Yoga with .1111. Paddling skills were tested on the return to the beach against the wind, but we all made it after the gentle yoga class!

We capped off the weekend with a swim at !

Hunter took back to the water like a fish...I think she drank half the pool chasing the red ball by the number of times she's peed since we got home.

No pictures of Izzy actually in the water as I had to be in the pool with her...she dutifully waited for the cheese I brought along in between swims.

"How is this my life?"

Do you ever pause and look around at the life that surrounds you? I'm not sure if it's just something I do or if the grief I've experienced has taught me to do so, but I find myself in awe of the life that I'm living right now.

This morning was the final session of the Sacred Voice training with Komal of and all my lovely sisters from around the globe. Today was bittersweet - it's been such an AMAZING journey, far beyond simply adding your voice to a sound bath. We were raw and vulnerable and authentic. I am SO very thankful for this opportunity as it has helped me heal & grow 🙏

Ten years ago, I know that in the midst of moving and wedding preparations, I paused to ask myself, "How is this my life?" It was said with excitement as Rob & I exchanged our wedding vows the next day.

The skies were smokey from forest fires and everything went as planned. As Rob & I left the church, we looked at each other in amazement and exclaimed, "We did it!" The journey had felt so long, but now we were on it together.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the tone of "How is this my life?" to change from excitement to one of dread & dismay. Rob's mental health deteriorated rapidly, and his su***de 5.5 years ago brought a much different inflection to the question, "How is this my life?"

I am learning to grieve the man I married and not the disease that took him. I am learning to leap into the unknown and embrace the life that has been gifted me - life is too short to play small. I am learning to trust the process as life unfolds.

In my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined this life I've lived - all the joy and all the heartache. I am thankful for each day that I wake up, pause, look around & ask myself once more,

"How is this my life?"

This past Sunday, SANCTUARY women gathered once again to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Our 2nd of 4 days this year brought this amazing group of local women healers together to grow, learn & heal from one another!

SOAR - flying high, ascending - was a chance to pause on this longest day of light and look within. As everyone shared to start the day, I was reminded of liminal spaces (thank you for your teachings!) and the threshold we must consciously cross as we transition from one phase of life to another, whether that's a seasonal shift, a major life change or the pause before our next breath. We think we are safe in the present with the unknown future ahead, but we are being called to something greater.

Each healer who said Yes! to SANCTUARY brings a wealth of knowledge & experience to our group. In the spring, .shyogatherapy, and had us move our bodies & use our voices in mantra, connect inwardly to seasons of self and find relaxation with Reflexology & Sound Healing.

This Sunday, I explored the Chakras through yoga, crystals, Reiki & Sound and then offered some powerful practices for our businesses. Who do we want to be versus what do we want to do? We met our 85 year old self in meditation and wrote a letter 1 year down the road.

Finally, brought her Expressive Arts Therapy to look at boundaries in our lives. A highlight for me was switching a quote that said "Shoes Speak Louder Than Words" into "She Speaks Louder Than Words" and finding the following words on boundaries tucked inside of me at the end of the process:

"She speaks louder than words
Strong & solid, bold & simple
Like beautiful music to the ear
Or a flower blooming in the sun
This is how she loves & cares for herself
She is me - LaDawn"

Another wonderful day together - my heart is overflowing!

It was 50 years ago today that my grandmother became a widow, and I think this death has cast a shadow over the family ever since. So, I went to the cemetery today to cut some cords and clear the way for healing.

With her youngest of 9 children only 3 years old, I wonder if my grandmother ever had a chance to grieve. Between getting her driver's license and first job, did she ever lay in bed with tears streaming down her cheeks or did she push it all down and roll over, knowing that the alarm would ring soon enough and she would have to start again?

I never take the space I've been afforded to grieve lightly. COVID was a blessing for me as it made me slow down and look intentionally at my grief. Izzy was the reason to get out of bed in those early days but there were days went we found ourselves back in bed or on the couch, letting the tears flow and giving the heart space to heal.

A special song found me for my travels today by :

Indigo Sea

As I rise
The light shines through me
Another breath
The river runs through me
Your voice, it echoes, in the back of my mind
Do you remember, do you remember, my child?

This path is worn down
But you can make your own
My tears, they fall for you
That the rivers will carry you home

And as your footsteps travel on this ground
Let your fears fall away
Let each step be your own

You've got the stars to guide you
The moon at your brow
You're the child of the ocean
The tide is rising now
Keep the firing burning all night long
Keep your words wet with truth

Let the rhythm of the ancients keep the beat for you
These steps are your own, but we're right here for you
Let your vision be strong
Trust what you see
Let your journey go deep as the ocean
Deep as the ocean
Deep as the ocean
Deep as the ocean

As these waters rise
I see the colors of a thousand lifetimes
Buried stories
Pearls of wisdom and mystery
A distant echo
A forgotten song
Oh your words, they linger
Do you remember, my child?

This path is worn down
But you can make your own
My tears, they fall for you
That the rivers will carry you home

And as your footsteps travel on this ground
Let your fears fall away
Let each step be your own

June is full of anniversaries and today it was 12 years since Rob's baptism. I picked up a Jonny's Java tea (yes, I know the cup says Whitecap but it will always be Jonny's to me because it's where Rob & I fell in love over tea & coffee) & a white rose and headed to Winkler Bible Camp where we gathered 12 years ago.

As I played our wedding song "There is Love," the tears started to flow. On a very overcast day, the sun poked through the clouds, warming my face despite the cold wind.

The tears flowed for Rob but also to grieve the woman I was 12 years ago. I am so thankful for her courage and am so proud of her. She was living with her heart wide open, not knowing the journey that lay ahead.

We did our first glance wedding pictures at the Bible Camp just over 2 years after the baptism. Next Monday would have been our 10th anniversary. I can't say that we would have made it to 10 years - I think COVID may have tested us had it not been for Rob's death a few months prior.

Grief has no timeline. Today at the camp felt like yesterday and a million years ago all at the same time. There are moments in all our lives when it feels like time stands still but it never really does. It carries on and, on days like today, if one pauses, even if just for a brief moment, the memories of yesterday come flooding back, reminding us that the only moment we ever have is right now in the present...don't let it pass you by.
