Recipe For Life….

It has been 8 months and 2 days since Darek continued his journey. Spring has arrived and I can’t help but think how much he loved this time of year. I even left random piles of weeds on the lawn for him to pick up today. Makes me laugh.

As a new season begins I revel in my transformational journey. I have achieved every goal I had set out to. Incredible and it’s only April.

  • Writing a Blog
  • First Aid Course
  • Hospice Training
  • Back to Work
  • Certified Paddle Board Instructor

 Now what……..? As we say in yoga it’s time for me to hit the refresh button.

What does that look like? I truly can do anything I set my mind to.

Here are conscious choices I made to move forward on my healing journey:

  1. Gratitude – every morning I wake up and say thank you for the day
  2. Intention Setting – How can I make even the smallest difference today
  3. Yoga – What an amazing gift a daily yoga practice has become to my focus
  4. A Mantra – A daily “I am” statement set during my yoga practice
  5. Kindness and Compassion – Toward others and most importantly toward myself
  6. Cooking – D and I cooked together frequently and I carry his legacy with daily creations of love for my boys
  7. Community – Connect with your tribe, people who support and lift
  8. The Breath – Conscious breathing is the fasting way to connect and be grounded
  9. Acceptance – I am not in control so breathe and let go
  10. Move – Whether it be walking or gardening, find some form of movement you enjoy and get out there
  11. Laugh – Often and be silly, dance like no one is watching, sing loud and proud
  12. Evening Reflection – Reflecting on the day and giving thanks to both the good and the challenges. Both move me forward

Remember it is a choice to do things differently, no one is going to do it for you. Get up each and every day and choose to change who you are!!!!

I am living, breathing, writing proof dreams do come true……

Will you make the choice to look within?????

Blessings and Much Aloha…..
