S L O W. . . For the first time in a long time, I’ve had a lot of days of doing ‘nothing’. And it’s felt...marvellous. Between sickness, snow and cancelled or postponed plans, I’ve had a lot of quite, alone time, when the kids are with their dad. I’ve allowed my self to do things that aren’t necessarily productive. I’ve allowed myself to feel no guilt. I’ve allowed my self to rest & slooow down. Between all the marvellous quiet though, it’s allowed some anxiety too. The ‘shoulds’, ‘what if’s’ and ‘what nows’ make their appearances too. But I’ve welcomed them in. I say hello. Then I kindly ask them to leave. Because I know they do not serve me. This slowing down has been a great lesson for me, and one that I’ve greatly needed. And so I took the universes’ signs, with all that’s been thrown at me, and I took the time to rest & retreat. And I’m grateful for it. . . . . #reflection #slow #snow #thoughts #slowingdown #rest #retreat #inward #healing #self #selfacceptance #selflove #grateful #seethebeauty #life #lessons #learning #photography #nature #breathe #justbreathe #path #universe #mettarose
2020: Whole. Do you set intentions, choose a word, dreams, goals or the likes for the start of a New Year? For the past few years I’ve chosen a word and with it comes an intention. This year, the word ‘whole’ came to me. I am setting my intentions to feel completely and authentically whole within myself. Not looking outwards for completion, but feeling truly, deeply and honestly content with who I am. What I have. What I give & what I receive. I’ve spent my whole life looking outward. For approval. For satisfaction. For joy. For happiness. And while that sometimes is a-okay, I have never truly felt it within. The past few months I have been taking the steps to change that, and this year I will be giving it my all, to find that wholeness within me, the wholeness of my authentic self speaking up, the wholeness of peace, calm and love inside. And Part of that journey to wholeness & self-love is going to include rest, by Learning to say no. Learning to listen to my body and actually do what it’s telling me to. And knowing that it’s ok to do nothing once & awhile. Because that’s important too.

2019. You were, interesting. You ended with a major bang of next level challenges, and brought everyone’s health down. You’ve been a year of searching, discoveries, lessons, mistakes, passions, a lot of theatre, a lot of good, a lot of bad. I’ve sunk into myself more than I have in a long time, and I’m still growing. I’ve dreamt big dreams, made big shifts, cried lots, felt anxiety, depression, panic & lightness, happiness, and inspiration. I really have no idea what 2020 will bring. Lots more learning, shifting, growing & surprises I am sure. I just hope to find the balance and ease more within during it all. So welcome 2020. I’m here with open arms to see what you may present. . . . . . #2019 #2020 #newyears #shifts #ponderings #lessons #growing #selfdiscoveries #endings #beginnings #unknowns #changes #selfknowledge #happiness #gratitude #anxiety #emotions #tears #depression #light #passions #inspiration #bringit #mettarose #seethebeauty
I mean. What’s up with this week?! It went from happy, exciting things happening, to broken elbows & important dream deals being postponed. From plans in action, to plans put on hold. I’m sad, heartbroken, bruised and down. I want to curl up and forget the world. I don’t always have to look for the bright side of things, do I? Can I just feel this sadness for a little while, and wallow in the disappointment? It’s all so exhausting to be positive and with it all the time. It too shall pass. I know. That’s why I’m wanting to take this time to feel the shittyness of it all. That’s ok, right? This week. This fucking week. So not playing out as thought. It’s one disappointment after another. My ego is struggling. My child is struggling. My heart is struggling. I feel it all. But. We’re all Alive. We have food, a roof over our heads. We may be sad, hurt and disappointed, but we are safe. I’m grateful for that. But I’ll be shedding some tears. Feeling the heaviness in my heart & soul, because that’s part of real life. The dark side of it. Where the disappointment, hurt & sadness lives. . . . . . #real #raw #honest #hurt #disappointment #soul #heart #heaviness #whenlifegivesyoulemons #fridayfucks #thisweek #sadness #seethebeauty #safe #life #unexpected #hardknocklife #wallow #expression #sharingmythoughts #emotions #whenitrainsitpours #mettarose
These two. They fight constantly. He says he hates her. She loves him deeply. Capturing this sweet image. Hearing their little whispers at night. Seeing his hidden love for her (because he does love her, he just doesn’t want to admit it), when he says or does something so big-brotherly. 95% of the time it’s exhausting parenting them, and adding in their littlest sibling too, but when those things that make up the 5% of things like sweet words, loving actions, peace & calm happen, it makes it all seem worth it. . . . . . #parenthood #motherhood #siblings #threechildren #bigbrother #littlesister #momlife #childhood #love #cuddles #sweetwhispers #siblinglove #connection #saltspringisland #home #myheart #rawmotherhood #expression #grateful #together #seethebeauty #mettarose
Feeling so inspired & empowered right now, to live authentically, bravely & true to myself. It’s hard, don’t get me wrong. But it’s been years in the making, and I’m not backing down now. . . . . #bravery #belonging #self #authentic #truth #wilderness #brenebrown #bravingthewilderness #speakup #beyou #empowered #brave #inspired #hardwork #boundaries #trust #selfcompassion #vulnerability #life #seethebeauty #challenge #honesty #shareyourtruth #showup #grateful #mettarose
