My Soul Space
During our retreats we often share our ‘truewellbeing.’ The part of you that makes you special, your soul essence that’s always there (even if you don’t acknowledge it or believe it.) I am going to share my essence with you, and I hope that you will share some of ‘your truewellbeing’ in the comments too.
I am a 59-year-old woman—mom to three (now all grown up) children, a wife, a dog, and a horse lover who is happiest when I am with my family, a horse, or in nature.
What do I love to do?
I feel most content when I read or write, meditate, rest in a yoga pose or just relax at home with the family. I love to think deeply and philosophize about how intuitive we all are, I often ask myself and others what is your ‘knowingness’ feeling. You could call me the definition of a ‘home body.’ I love to create a nest of sacred space. I like to rearrange our furniture, clear out things that don’t ‘spark joy’, turn our garden flowers into a bouquet for the table. To light incense and candles and create a mood. I love to paint, especially with art as a muse, as the painting process feels like a meditation. All of these things make me feel good, like a connection that sparks life as it should be.
What do you do?
When asked what I do, I often wrestle with what to say, but if I had to name it? I am a mother, a writer, and an inspirer. Mothering has asked me to reach down into the depths of me and extract a more soulful woman than I knew possible. My love of the written word is also a way I tap into my deeper self, my soul. Language of the Soul 52 Affirmations to Guide You is my latest offering.
After all these years of working in nursing, raising a family, and writing books, if I could give my younger self one important piece of advice, it would be this: weave your soul into your everyday life. Identify the activities that bring you joy and make them a priority. Although this idea may seem simple, it’s essential to spend more time doing what you love. I often use this journal prompt: “What do you love to do? What do you love so much that you lose track of time while doing it?”
Feel the sacredness every day
Whether we are nurturing our families or organizing our days, I believe we all can recognize the sacredness within ourselves. By doing so, we can project our best and most authentic selves to those around us. In today's world, it is more important than ever to focus on where we place our values, and to reflect on what those values truly represent. To lead a healthy and happy life, we need to embrace integrity and honesty while fostering a deep respect for ourselves and others.
Join me in finding sacredness, begin to weave the thread of joy, and the divine will pull the thread.
