Word of the year

Loving my spouse

Best early birthday surprise

Hot tub, hormone yoga therapy, metis beading, colouring, walls around the lake and yoga to Christ,

My journey of 20 years of faithing forward

My biggest take aways from listening to a virtual grandpa to me, Jeffrey R. Holland, as he spoke about the “Hidden Fire” of prayer. I was grateful to be reminded to pray vocally, and to consider the power of prayer for a shield against temptation ( setting my intention for my own light to have no boundaries). I loved remembering how connected I feel with God, and that He cares about me connecting with Him.

Learning together with my faith focused friends of all ages 12 and up ( joys of my experience with “general conference” April 2024)

Unexpected surprised at our first week of a wifi-free life

Finding my cherishing honouring and respecting spirit of integrity and virtue as I approach a challenge with trust peace and hope to replace the once shame filled way of attacking a challenge

Cultivating joy along my journey of transitioning out of a sprinting mentality to health to a long view

Humble beginnings of my new health challenge ( glowing happy skin)

Gathering more grace to hold space for myself to nest and birth new glow, new skin

5 months into practicing hormone yoga therapy

Health and marriage

Starting a 30 day paced health routine

From selfish to service purpose of life - learning to be compassionate- learning to speak and give kindness, respect and honour

Next steps to make sure both genders feel like they have a voice ( especially the shy girls -that have something to say, but it takes all of them to get up and say it)

The beginnings of teaching yoga to Christ classes

Calendaring self-compassion to avoid running out of gas unexpectedly ( unknowingly, and unaware)

Intentional caring and cherishing of self as precious

From Atheist Bully to Compassionate Leadership

Growing pains from my inner child to becoming even more capable, competent, confident, caring and compassionate ( remembering feeling inspired by a women’s circle of social workers)

My fave way to build a yoga class towards Christ

Realizing that an invisible greenhouse is not enough for my sacred seeds ( the soil needs to be ready to nourish, and allow for the full fruition of these seeds)

Celebrating the gladness that God helps me uncover, especially as I dive into ancient texts that invigorate my heart, mind and spirit to consider the wisdom of those that came before me to allow for a seed of goodness to be planted in my heart and be nurtured. Creating an invisible greenhouse sanctuary to allow for my sacred seeds to germinate and grow to fruition.

Finding solace with my spouse

Pressing forward amongst my struggles ( punctuality, and overwhelm)

Becoming rather than staying in my bed

Belonging with the real raw humane and intimately transparents

Ponderings

Growing my faith after 20 years

A restoration of yoga towards Christ

Downloading the light available to us today to do what we were made to do.

Enjoying life- being ok that others can see my face, and being noticed. Rejecting the lie that if someone sees me, I’m in danger, but realizing the truth that perhaps another can be blessed by the light in my eyes that has been hard earned

Glad to keep learning so I can be a better instrument of light

my sacred role to be my husband’s best bet, and the reciprocation of him holding me in all of my tears over the years

Letting my most committed kindred spirit- my future husband into my heart

Getting to know my most committed kindred spirit- who would become my future husband

I answered the door to this handsome man!

Age 18: learning to love what I got ( family ties, being a better daughter, preparing myself for the love of my life)

Age 16-18: healing my heart to then shine light into others hearts

Age 12-15: the beginning of my health journey of noticing my mind body connection through good input of foods for good output of athletic performance

“I ama big girl now!”

Piecing together how to be with others who are working more from their frontal brain than their primitive brain

finding my own stride of delighting in a simple Sabbath morning.

Respecting God’s creation ( my female body)- and giving it the time it needs in different inner seasons of my feminine cycle
