Family comes in many forms. There are the Partners, Siblings, Parents……
Yet not all families look the same. I am blessed to have amazing chosen family. These are a few of my family members and i’m blessed to have even more. I use to get stuck thinking things were suppose look a certain way. Somehow over the years i have built an amazing family rich in love and deeply bonded. Look up at what you have instead of looking the wrong way at what you dont.

hidden amongst the crowd looking over Paris. As humans, without even realizing it there is a social impact on our desires and wishes, our dreams and experiences. To choose a path less followed is hard, sometimes we are creating the path. A path that has never been forged with no examples. Live bravely friends, Live from your heart. Sometimes refuse the recommendations and just get lost so you can find your way

Even flowers rest.
We push ourselves nonstop — phones buzzing, emails piling up, always “on.”

But here’s the same flower: on the left, after sunset; on the right, greeting the morning light.
Nature knows to pause. To conserve. To rest.
With all our complex minds and bodies, how is it that we’ve forgotten to do the same?

Rest is not a luxury. It’s wisdom. And healing begins when we finally slow down.

Today is the spring equinox, which means today is the one day where day and night are completely in balance. Rebirth and renewal are on the way as we start to plant the seeds in our gardens. Gardens of soil or spirit….. what would you like to grow into summer? How can you let go (of winter or even the past) to sow the earth one needs to grow? #

I went to bed excited about surfing and woke up anxious. Anxiety is a funny feeling, its unknown, like a flicker of uncomfortableness. May even make you a little grumpy within that uncomfort. stay curious, try not to attach it to something. After support from the fabulous , getting out in the water dissolved it all. we are have these moments and support is all around.

Self care is so important, recently i was asked how do I navigate through stresses and the worries life brings. I have many tools in my box, self care is one of them. Knowing when to say no and instead taking a day of self care.

Why did i cut my hair off has become the question of the day. Our identity is how we not only see ourselves but also how we choose to present ourselves to the world. Commonly clients want to change how they experience the world, have better mental health. Doing something like cutting one’s hair, changing your style, even getting out on a different side of the bed can actually be a part of this. Personally i have had some profound healings in the last few years, so i also let go of control. A WHOLE NEW Norva. be brave be bold give yourself all you can

As long i can remember my life included travel. All 50 states, countries of all traditions, experiences that wont fit into a post. Life is a series of stories, stories are then experiences, and then all of that makes up a lives journey. Live boldly, live freely, live from your heart. Be someone new today and embrace the unknown
