Fire Fairy
Last night at dinner, my husband commented about how I am just able to get things done that need to get done, even if I have no idea how I will do it. We joke about it a lot because as foods started being removed from our diets, I would just problem solve it. No safe marshmallows? Well, I’ll make them myself. (of course I would mourn and feel frustrated, too) Traveling for 10 hours on my own with 2 boys and a baby. heck, yes. Sometimes my problems that need to be surmounted seem to be too great, or complicated, or not necessary to solve, and the solutions are usually unconventional. Sometimes I have to warn my husband not to laugh or raise his eyebrows as I state my case. Bacon is no longer safe? Well dear, let’s figure out how to make it ourselves. Thank you sir Google and Alton Brown. yummm…. Yes, that cardboard box in our backyard turned into our smoker. : )
This conversation came up because my love wanted to hear the details of how my website was going. Two years ago when an intuitive friend said she saw me starting a business, and even a year ago when that friend started to put a bug in my ear that it was going to be an important process in my life, I still had no idea how or when. I was moving out of ppd, and caring for a very attached baby and the idea of starting a business didn’t seem plausible. Then when a deep need of hers came up last summer, I dropped my fears, pulled out my flower essence bottles and made a custom blend for each of her family as they grieved their dying father/grandfather. Thus my business was born, and I decided to not pick up those fears again.
I am capable of doing what needs to get done, sometimes I need help (thank you Little Bro Fairy for helping me with the technical parts of my site), sometimes I need a push (thank you friend for your love and trust that I could help you and your family), sometimes I need a good kick in the bottom (ummm. thank you bills that need to be paid?? well maybe not a thank you, but I am acknowledging your presence). And sometimes I need some cheering on, and major support. (thank you dear, dear hubby for being my passionate cheerleader, and being fully capable of doing so many things yourself.)
**I am aiming to have my website done by next week.** (Squeeeeeeeeeee!)
I firmly believe that we can surmount the insurmountable – if that is the path we choose to take. I don’t believe it is necessary to go it alone, or that it will be easy, OR that it will always be hard. I do believe that we’ve been given the strength within us to choose the life we want to live and live it passionately. Maybe life won’t be glamorous, or rich, or always comfy or without grief, but if you listen to your soul, I think there is a good chance you will hear what it wants.
I have been honored to see so many of us acknowledging our struggles and work through them here. And I know, if you feel the need to climb that mountain. I know you are capable.
In my part of the world spring is officially here, and what a wonderful time it is – this fresh clean new time – to decide what is worth working for… Pause a moment… Then take the time to fully soak in how fully capable you truly are.
MEM:
Another beautiful, beautiful day to be with my sweet ones
I’m excited about some learning we will be doing today – fingers crossed that my guys are also into it.
tea and now limeade is another passion. yum.
watching my middle son eat pineapple – he is so excited he can eat it now.
a trip to the library. Libraries are filled with so many comforting memories for me.
That’s it for now, but I will be back later to add more.
Please share the amazing magical wonders of your day, and maybe – if you wish – share what mountain you wish to climb and claim you are capable.
