My Holistic Journey.
Still here, still trading, still evolving, still learning, growing, living.
Still finding my peace amongst the chaos life brings.
My dad passed away a few years ago and he was my biggest champion in my work life. Without him my desire to push myself in my holistic career died with him. My deep love of words and stringing them together from the depths of my soul, also froze and disappeared into the abyss. My passion for delving into the art of Reiki , while I still practise daily, it wasn't with the same excitement I used to elude.
There are many many reasons why that became the case but I'm not going to delve into that here, right now. Many another time.
This spring has brought me a little bit back to my senses in many ways. Feeling incredibly present with nature, having observed daily through the winter months and then into the spring the changes in our bontiful beautiful earth, in my little patch of it here in West Sussex.
My precious Dora passed away in January, at home with us by her side, just as she wanted. So now I work for an elderly gentleman as a companion/help. He shares my love of nature, especially the wildflowers.
We have been observing on our trips out in the car, the first plants to spring from the land. On the banks and hedgerows we pass, down the little country lanes we drive. Every day.
I've always been observant but this daily habit over now a year or so has really become a sanctuary of peace and presence for me.
Having a brain notorious for forgetting names of things, I've done myself mighty proud this year that I have retained the names of many wildflowers. I reason this is because it's been a slow and steady process, it's finally sinking in. And also it's been my true Joy of late. A little habit that's really helped bring me back to myself.
Life isn't always easy but I am so thankful that under any trials and challenges I face, I have and always have had, a real sense of peace within me.
I love to wander alone just me and my dogs. I love to be outside finding contentment in what's around me.
The last 18 months especially have brought me so many lessons. A truly uncomfortable experience at times but if you really sit with things, really learn and grow from it then once out the otherside the light tends to shine just that much brighter doesn't it?
I know sorrow is one of those passtimes you learn to carry with you where you go. I try and find a balance with sorrow I've collected up over my lifetime. Allowing her sacrednesd to make the other things feel more beautiful. I truly believe to live a wholesome life we have to feel it all.
Anyway, so what brought me to write on my page after many years of silence? I've been having stirrings and thoughts of writing again, unsure where to start or how. So I thought I'd start here.
It is my holistic journey after all.
