Lucy, my beloved female four legged family member

I thought I would be scrambling for plans and trying to find ways to make spring break ‘fun’ for one of my guys who is off for 10 days !! Oh me oh my. And actually despite my resistance to this break since January, because I want to keep working, my mind and body are deeply craving this break.

Isn’t that how life can work ? What we think we need or want is not actually what is best for us? And how do we know that ? Because what we think we want or need doesn’t materialize and what WAS happening doesn’t feel so good. Yesterday I was in bed resting a migraine from pushing it too hard with work and just in general. When I operate strictly, or in a big part from my WILL, must forge on, be productive, keep momentum going with my work ( which doesn’t feel like work but is and is necessary and I love it ), my body speaks up. It’s important and crucial to come up for air. Make space. Pause. Feel into what’s being created, what’s working and what’s not and to just simply be and not be doing. And also listen to the wisdom of the guests on my podcast, my own mother (thanks mum) and people close to me who talk about rest as medicine and really listen to my own medicine. Rest. Space. Listening inwardly. Play. Community. And so on and so forth.

And so this will be the time for just that.
I did make sure to block off some time during the break to ‘work’ and mostly I will trust the letting go and the not ‘doing’.

So when is spring break starting already ?

Oh and I should say I’m about to head into a loosely structured 10 days with my two boys ( one is in daycare and will go on a few of these days). Always an adventure. I have a village on hand, well some of one anyway, and some ideas as we enter into spring break mode. DEEP BREATH!

Here we go …

Cheers everyone. What are your plans for spring break? If it is spring break for you ?
And isn’t it all relative?

Moment to moment awareness. Perspective.
And deep breath to that.

Future broadcasters? Podcasters? Boys with a message? A song? A story to tell? We all have something to say and a reason to be heard.

This studio of mine where I broadcast my weekly live podcast entertains these voices and amplifies them too ( no doubt). Who doesn’t want (need) amplification ?

Certainly I’m grateful that my boys can play in my office and that I now have time (boys are old enough to be in school) and space to really be in my office and create from it. Nurturing family, nurturing self. A conscious process. A humbling one. A rewarding one. An ever evolving one. Learning. Trusting as I go. As author and counselor  Sheryl Paul said in our recent interview  on the series #Motherhood #Let’sCreateAVillage, ”With each notch of their ( our kids ) independence you gain a little piece of your own self back “.  And that self is a forever evolving self. Isn’t it? A self forever being realized and known. May you let your intuition lead. May you know your voice, listen to it, trust it, believe in it, act on it. And may you mirror the reflection of your kids’ unique voices back to them so that they can thus strengthen their uniqueness and unique heart wisdom.

Here’s more on how listening to and trusting my intuition has pointed me in the ‘right direction’ or has helped me course correct.

If you want support in connecting to your intuition, in identifying if what you’re hearing is your intuition, I have programs that can support you in this. Have a look. When I stumble upon my own clarity to my inner wisdom I seek the support I need to re-align and re-connect. And so in turn I love helping individuals become aware of their blind spots and beliefs that keep them from aligning with their inner wisdom. And with the connection we can have to our intuition we will blaze our own magnificent trails. May you let your intuition lead.

I’d love to hear about your experience with intuition. Share them below, along with any questions. Cheers to you.
