How to heal fully and properly.
Blues
Call me crazy, but I think I'm meant to disappear. Since I was born, no matter how much I tried to succeed at something, my efforts were soon put to waste. Relationships, goals, career, job opportunities. Every single try was soon put to waste, why? I'm still trying to figure that out, I was always an honor student, an excellent employee, an amazing planner, and a dedicated girlfriend.

Learning All the Wrong Things.
During this Pandemic, there has been a lot of talk about gaining weight and summer bodies being postponed. Body image is something we have all faced and had to acknowledge some point in our lives. It is definitely something I have struggled with since a child.

Choose Your Path
You are constantly walking the line of "light" and "dark." Everyday. Every move you make in your life effects you. There is no decision in your life that is insignificant. Understanding this will naturally create anxiety for your next move. Is this right? Am I in the light? Am I choosing wrong? Can someone else decide?

Creativity
The idea for this video started out at around two am on a Friday morning. I did this thing about five months ago where I found this book called "The Five AM Club" by Robin Sharma. I read it through cover to cover or screen to screen because it was really a clicking process rather than me flipping through the pages. In 48 hours it was finished. It was a binge read and then I was inspired to try it and I did it for 90 days straight. I found it was actually easier to get up at 4am most mornings and even one morning I found myself rising at 3am, which was a mistake I think, but at the end I did it. If there was a pencil and piece of paper and box drawn on that piece of paper where I could fill in a check mark I would've done so. There I was at ninety days, feeling accomplished and then my back went out. I think that coincided with a relationship breakup. It wasn't the reaction I was expecting, but as they say "everybody's painting a different picture" aren't they? Where one person might've viewed the sum of the equation as weakness, I saw it as transition, but in fact it was quite a lengthy transition. Most of the winter season I was supposed to be teaching skiing, but instead I grew to be just flexible enough to give massage to other backs, all the while wearing a back brace. I was very blessed to be working with some extremely talented therapists and so work was workable, the giving was full and the season of working another winter in Colorado passed with the majority of my time being spent either massaging, hanging out with cheery co-workers or playing music. I couldn't ski, but at least I could play guitar with my band mates, which was lovely! Music was made in the late hours usually, so I did say goodbye to that possibility of rising at 5am though. Was it a set back? "perspective my dear Watson" I'd have to say. Possibly, the creative edge was calling as supposed to the sharpened edges of my ski equipment? Only time will tell. Towards early spring I was getting back to my athletic self and was able to skin up mountains again. It felt good, but then the situation changed yet again and the world was put in time out. The meditations have been deep, the guitar has been a constant friend and creativity has been at an all time high.

It takes a global pandemic to make you see.
There is nothing like a global pandemic to make us realise how realient and adaptable we really are. We have been grounded by this virus, this parent we never even asked for, something not even our own parents could do but here we are, grounded! Like lost little children, crying for the pubs to reopen, but here we are, locked away inside our homes, but it made us realise how much stuff we thought we needed that we don’t. So many of us have been clearing out our personal junk, disconnecting with people we thought we needed and reconnecting with people we haven’t spoken to in months or even years. This pandemic has forced us to simplify ourselves and become more creative in our personally lives, it has forced us to reconnect using social media and talk to family members on zoom. Dinner dates over video chat and if we don’t like the way the date is going, we can turn off.

Stay Safe
We all take for granted the things we should be valuing. Prior to this quarantine a lot of us didn’t value our time, our loved ones or just the simple things. The amount of times I can rewind to me saying oh I wish today could just be over or I just don’t want to do the school run! These now feel like selfish things to say, wanting today to be over due to things not running smoothly and not wanting to do the school run because I’m tired. How could I have ever wanted time to just go by without embracing it and why would I not want to go out and see other people. Corona virus has definitely forced us all to be thankful for everything we have especially the small things. Two things that we must appreciate from now on is being given a second chance to see another day and having the ability to do what we can when we can. There have been thousands of individuals who have sadly lost their lives to the corona virus who would’ve wanted to see another day or do a school run with their grandkids or children. It truly breaks my heart.

Living Through a Pandemic
One day you're living life normally, going out to eat, spending time with loved ones. You don't expect life to turn upside down the next day. You don't expect to not get to see those loved ones, or to go out to your favorite restaurant for a long period of time. All because something random happened somewhere far away. All you hear or see on the news is all about this new virus going around that is infecting and even killing many. A panic can ensue and make you be scared to even touch your own face.

Postcards from a Pandemic, Part Five: Hits and Misses
Gradually, in the middle of April, a shaky consensus is emerging: There’s a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Within weeks, those of us living constrained lives of Netflix, long walks, and earlier and earlier cocktail hours, will be forced out of our bunkers to confront what we once called “the real world.”

Awakening To The Gift of This Woman -The Complete Metamorphosis
There are so many women that are so incredible, more incredible beyond words. Women who have made significant strives that deeply impact the collective but only one comes to mind when I think of the valuable impact to me on a deep profound level. So profound, that the power has freed me and created a transformation that changed the trajectory of my life. Who’s that person you ask? Well that person is I- Me, Myself and I. And while most might perceive this statement to be egocentric, I promise you it's not. It is actually the most inspirational and humbling thing one can say, but not only say, but also achieve for themselves in this lifetime. So please keep reading.
