I find myself savoring every moment with my son as his 13th birthday quickly approaches. I am as sentimental as they come. And I try to capture every moment in a picture, writing, my memory, or an object. I suppose I’m not so great at the art of non-attachment.
Lucky me, my son is pretty sentimental too. I asked him if we could do a hand mold to capture his hand before he becomes a teenage. It only took a little convincing. So today, we did the mold. Now we are waiting the 12 hours for it to dry and then we get to carve it out. I love the little moments when we can connect and just be.
Somedays, time just goes to fast. I’m finding I never get to do all I want to do before another year goes by. I’m learning to be more compassionate with myself and not just focus on what I didn’t get to do, or the time I lost my cool, or the moment I missed now that I don’t get to see him every day because of the divorce. I’ve decided to acknowledge when I messed up (instead of beating myself up for it over and over and over and over again) and what I can do moving forward, and to really notice what I do well. The things that make me the best mom through his eyes. I gotta say, I’m a pretty phenomenal mom.
I am also over flowing in gratitude as my business continues to expand, slowly but surly.
Today, someone booked a Bestie Day and I am so looking forward to that. Someone emailed to ask if I make custom recordings of stories as well as the hypnosis or meditation. I do!! So that’s super fun as well.
And I’m also doing a Restart Package for the sweet as a marshmallow, cutie client. Today, we did the Bionic Method Somatic Bodywork session and let me tell you, if I ever do a session with you, please know that when you start to cry, I will be crying along with you. I am ordering myself some cute, soft handkerchiefs stat. It was such a beautiful and powerful experience.
And then I got to meet a client over lunch and discuss what needs to change so that life can get even better. We decided that releasing resentment would be a great start.
I feel beyond blessed that this is my life, my work, my contribution to the world. Like this is what I get to do? Use my hands and voice and insights to collaborate in a healing and expanding journey of my clients?! And I get to also offer fun experiences that expand our hearts and minds?!?!
It feels really good. I get to witness such beautiful growth as people step more into themselves.
When I worked as a therapist, there were only two times when I cried with clients. One when I had to kick her out of the treatment program for fighting a week before her graduation (trust me, this still kills me). And when a lovely client was telling me about the death of her pet. Oh my gosh. I couldn’t hold back.
Just another reason why I love coaching so much more than therapy, I can be human. I can be moved. I can laugh out loud, cry, and give you a hug. And that’s a beautiful thing.
I’ve also been meditating on the daily
I’m going to start using Dr. Joe Dispenza’s technique again to really level up my personality and personal reality. 🙂 How cool would it be to go to one of his week long retreats? That would be epic. I can’t wait to see how even more beautiful and fun life becomes and my personality. 🙂
Working out is back on my agenda as well. I am going to see my bestie in a couple weeks and she teaches barre and I’m going to go to class with her and I want to be able to not only survive it, but keep up as much as possible. She is mega fit and her classes are sooooooooooo hard but totally worth it. I always feel so proud of myself at the end of the workout.
Oh, I also received the pretties new bra to review for you cuties.
So be on the look out for that in a week or two.
