stop looking in cabinets
and under tables,you won’t find yourself
between
the cushions of the couch
or the sheets of your bed,there’s nothing in the closet
or the nightstand;
there’s nothing in the attic
or the basement,you can’t find your soul
in the backyard (or the frontyard
or any…
Love this!!!

The Wholehearted Parenting Manifesto
Above all else, I want you to know that you are loved and loveable.
You will learn this from my words and actions—the lessons on love are in how I treat you and how I treat myself.
I want you to engage with the world from a place of worthiness.
You will learn that you are worthy of love, belonging, and joy every time you see me practice self-compassion and embrace my own imperfections.
We will practice courage in our family by showing up, letting ourselves be seen, and honoring vulnerability. We will share our stories of struggle and strength. There will always be room in our home for both.
We will teach you compassion by practicing compassion with ourselves first; then with each other. We will set and respect boundaries; we will honor hard work, hope, and perseverance. Rest and play will be family values, as well as family practices.
You will learn accountability and respect by watching me make mistakes and make amends, and by watching how I ask for what I need and talk about how I feel.
I want you to know joy, so together we will practice gratitude.
I want you to feel joy, so together we will learn how to be vulnerable.
When uncertainty and scarcity visit, you will be able to draw from the spirit that is a part of our everyday life.
Together we will cry and face fear and grief. I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.
We will laugh and sing and dance and create. We will always have permission to be ourselves with each other. No matter what, you will always belong here.
As you begin your Wholehearted journey, the greatest gift that I can give to you is to live and love with my whole heart and to dare greatly.
I will not teach or love or show you anything perfectly, but I will let you see me, and I will always hold sacred the gift of seeing you. Truly, deeply, seeing you.

- Divine Intervention at the right time!!! What are the odds of blowing a tire right in front of a tire shop:)
- The hospitality of strangers. Its rare nowadays but so very refreshing when you least expect it.
- Fridays!!! I love the winding down of a busy work week and the relaxation and expectation that the weekend holds.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately and with life getting so damn busy, I felt as though I had lost momentum in the only thing I find complete satisfaction. But in reality life is filled with disappointments and unexpected joys. I realised after watching a recent film that a lot of what we do can be…
