As A Mother | I will stand for what is right
A conscious decision to forever alter your body and life.
Someone who was once a girl, becomes a woman, who then chooses to become a mother is already making decisions based on her future. For not only herself and her mental and physical health, but also for her child. This begins even before getting pregnant, before giving birth, before raising the child to adulthood.
This begins when the decision is made. A piece of your heart will forever exist out side of your body. You have the incredible honor of raising that child from birth to 18, giving them a foundation in life, guiding them to make informed and educated decisions, encouraging them to honor themselves, their mind and body.
As a mother trying to bring her child into this world, the doctor asked me… what do you want to do? Why? Because this is my child to watch over, my child to raise, my child to empower. Isn’t that the role we took on as their parents ?
Whatever your choice is – that is your’s to responsibly make. No one should ever feel coerced into doing anything. No child should also be irresponsibly given “permission” by a government entity that they can make a life altering decision when they are not even legally allowed to vote, drink, buy lottery, a CHILD does not understand the potential repercussions. For the love of all things my doctors in my 20’s did not explain to me the repercussions of medications I was on, and able to stop.
This is not ok.
As a mother we must stand for our children’s rights and NOT be ok with children being bribed with ice cream to take a shot that they have also said, that information does not have to be released to the parent.
As a mother, I loved my child before I conceived both of them. I endured months of infertility which emotionally and physically rocked me. I will stand for what is right. ✌

Light Up Your Saturday
What light’s you up?
What set’s your soul on fire?
Do that today. Whatever it is. However you can.
For me, I oil up and grab my camera. I am so thankful I did this morning!
Found a beautiful park, not only with an awesome variety of flowers and plants, also so many spring babies. Trusting, protective animals, smiling, friendly people. I would have never guessed I was in a city.
A city, that the mouse, that we apparently re-located this morning, will now be enjoying 😮!
Happy Saturday ✌
Whatever you are doing, no matter your life circumstances, or anything or anyone else in the world…
What do YOU need today.
What can YOU do for yourself?
Set your heart and soul on fire today and re-ignite that energy deep within. Clear out the cobwebs, cut the cords, fill yourself back up with self love and watch yourself rise.
If you are stuck and feel unsure of what your passion is… take even 5 minutes out in nature! 🥰
Always Trust Your Gut
Always trust your gut, even if a medical professional tells you otherwise.
This week, yes its only Thursday early morning – Ive been up since 5am, we have had two strong reminders of this. If I was honest, it was actually both in less than 24 hours.
Two years ago at my last eye appointment, I expressed concerns for my eye sight, that I was experiencing blurry and double vision. Two years ago when I told the eye Doctor this, his response when he asked me what I could see, was “you shouldn’t be seeing double right now” (during the test) and yet I was. It was left at that. Should I have persisted, yup I now know that without a doubt in my body. Tuesday evening I got my eyes checked, different Doctor, same clinic. I expressed my concerns to her and felt heard. I felt not only heard, I felt understood, I felt her concern for me to figure out what was going on. She found a solution. She explained the solution and what was going on. I felt relief, reassurance, Im not going crazy after being told I “shouldn’t be seeing double or have blurry vision”. I am grateful.
I blogged previously about adults asking questions – think of kids, they do this all.the.time. Adults need to do this more and without a doubt, trust their gut feeling. Last Monday my husband came home from the hospital. I will preface this with my gratitude for having a hospital in town, which is capable of performing a lot of services and thankfully has not been overwhelmed anytime we or a family member has been there. When he told me the Doctor said the x-ray was good and to take anti-inflammatories and get a compression sock, it was me saying WTF – but WHY!? WHY is your ankle and leg swollen. WHY are you having pain. Sadly, I know the misinformation that can happen in health care from my own health experience. So I called last week and made an appointment with his surgeon.
To be honest, I am still processing what we were told yesterday and what this will mean. One of my co-workers reminded me the other day (before the surgeon appt) that it could have been so much worse, he was right, hearing that hit my heart hard. I also cannot deny how I feel and allow myself to process through this.
He was told there was a hardware fracture. When I think of a fracture, I think of something still in place but maybe a hairline crack or something. No this hardware was clearly broke. Very clearly broke. So clear that we could both see it across the doctors office. Ok so it was 5 feet away, but that’s the size of the office 😉 Not only does the hardware on one side of his leg have to come out and be re-done, it may also mean taking bone from his hip to help reinforce the ankle/leg where the surgeon doesn’t feel the bone is healing. The surgeon also said do not take the anti-inflammatories. Which he hadn’t been taking since late last week anyway.
It took a week to find out there was a fracture after being told go home, take anti-inflammatories and wear a compression sock. A FUCKING WEEK. A week of walking on it, going to physio and living in pain, feeling so confused because it didn’t make sense. A nose dive in mental health. For both of us.
Why am I sharing this. ALWAYS TRUST YOUR GUT.
Just because a medical professional tells you something, that does not mean that’s the only absolute truth. If you feel something is wrong – LISTEN TO YOURSELF. Listen to HOW you feel. Do not let anyone tell you how you should feel.
Why Have Adults Stopped Asking Questions?
Sadly, our health care system is broken.
I have experienced this myself many years ago. This was what honestly pushed my shift in life towards holistic health. Zero side effects and ease of support.
After my husband fell, we followed the recommended health care options. They sent someone in once a week to check his injury (thank god he has an attentive wife – not everyone has daily support like this), but that was it. When the incision wasn’t healing with the iodine provided, my husband was ready to allow me to try our holistic options and that one spot that wouldn’t close, closed. In a very short time.
The past almost 7 months, yesterday, has been a journey. One that has been a challenge for each of us because its literally out of our control. One cannot force a broken, lets be real, shattered limb to heal quicker. It just doesn’t happen. What has happened is our family has reached a new level of appreciation for life, gratitude, unconditional love – true unconditional love and support, understanding of ourselves and our bodies with regards to physical and emotional healing. Aligning with truth.
This has also opened our eyes even bigger to the massive focus of “health care” with Pharmaceuticals.
Unfortunately, my husband was having a lot of pain and discomfort, the swelling came back again, but only really near his ankle, not the lower leg where it happened before. So last Monday he went to the hospital and requested x-rays. Myself knowing the importance of connecting with his surgeon again, I called and left a message, they were closed until Wed. Husband was told everything is ok, given a prescription for anti-inflammatories and told to get compression socks and came home…
When he told me what he was told, that he requested the x-ray (good man!), was given the pill prescription etc… my response to him was WHY? He looked at me confused. Ok so they prescribed anti-inflammatories, told you to put your foot up more and wear a compression sock… BUT WHY is it swollen!?
Why have adults stopped asking questions?
Im not a doctor, Ive never claimed to be one. However, I have learned the utmost importance of KNOWING your body, KNOWING how it feels and when it feels off. My husband, bless his heart, has been getting so much more in touch with his own body this way and for that I am SO proud of him. As frustrating as this situation is for us at this moment.
A week after having x-ray’s, spoke with the surgeon’s office last Wednesday, set up a follow up appointment with them for the following Wednesday “just in case”, my husband got a phone call from the doctors office on Monday, a week later, advising that there is a hardware fracture. I reached out to a family member who is a nurse, to ask her “normal protocol”, should it take a WEEK to get a call about an issue that not only my husband expressed he was in pain and was having a hard time walking, when I called and left the message at the clinic I emphasized how much pain he was in AND that he thought he felt something move the week prior.
Needless to say, yesterday was almost a complete write off for both of us, emotionally. 7 months into this healing journey and it feels like going backwards. On one hand its good to have answers, Im proud of my husband for knowing something that wrong and pushing for answers. As frustrating and unknown as this is.
I debated about sharing this, as it is more personal, HOWEVER… this is what fires me up, what pushes me to encourage everyone towards Empowered Health. Every single one of us is different, our bodies, our health, everything about us. So when any medical professional tells you something that doesn’t feel right… ITS OK TO QUESTION IT! Its your right!
I learned this years ago, after being told I was in the “normal range” for years… If you do not feel right, you know your body best, there IS something off. I choose to say something off, vs something wrong. Because it literally could simply be shifting your sleep or eating habits. Life is a trial and error journey.
Our health care system has almost entirely been shut down multiple times during this past 15 months, only allowing certain things to be done etc. A friend of ours lost her partner and their daughters lost their dad. I understand there is a flu like virus making people sick. However, if you have read any previous posts regarding health care, there is a lot of people sadly dying from other things than covid… Anyone with an illness or injury matters. Especially when a person is in physical pain and discomfort.
Truthfully, I knew SOMETHING was wrong because when we used oils on his leg and back, the swelling went down. I love the inflammation protocol I use because it truly does work! Nature knows. But, even after surgery, the swelling will go down, when there is inflammation in the body of any kind there IS a reason. The trick is finding that reason!
Everyone’s health matters. Its time to fix our broken health care system! I could just sit down shut up and accept what is… however nothing will change if everyone just sits back and says ok, “they” said this so we must do this… Our own individual health care has never been the responsibility of our government, until now?! Why? Well for my health, for my family’s health, it will always 100% be OUR responsibility and no one else’s, especially the government!
Trust The Timing
💫 Trust the Timing 💫
Was the card I pulled when I decided to head into my space and move my body. Admittedly, it’s been a few weeks.
See a set back, like an arrow being pulled back… getting ready to release.
Trust the timing.
We’ve had a couple set backs, that truthfully I don’t deal well with “unknowns”. I am learning to trust the process, trust in Divine timing that all will be well 🙏 and Patience is a Virtue!
So for today, I will focus on MY wins…
♥️ I not only found a sports bra that fits AND supports… its also LOCAL!!!
♥️ The same store has breathable bamboo underwear!!!
♥️ I moved my body and embraced the sweat dripping off my back!
♥️ Listened to @jamiefitzpatrickentrepreneur and @kim_m_fitzpatrick podcast in my ear while working out. Omg Kim I had a neon too 😂
♥️ My husband is here and healthy, my children are healthy, I am healthy. We have each other.
♥️ Its 100% OK to cry… no matter where you are! Don’t shy away from feelings, this can cause dis-ease in the body.
♥️ Your health matters. Empowered health. It’s ok to ask questions, sometimes its required to get answers. What can you learn in the moment?
♥️ Did I mention I found bras locally!!! Bra’s Glore and More in Neustadt!
♥️ The weather is simply beautiful. I am so grateful everyday for choosing to take the leap and create our dream home.
♥️ Trust the timing. What can we learn during this chapter of our journey?
🙏
Growth
Growth 🌱🌎☘
We can all learn so much from Nature. The way the leaves fall before winter, a dark quiet time with little visible growth, but survival, strength builds on the inside, maybe not as obvious, until spring blesses us with its sunshine and warmer temperatures. Nature knows. Nature trusts, when the timing is right. What’s meant to be, will be. After a short time of dormancy, the great awakening and it is incredibly beautiful!
Human’s can learn so much from nature, with a slower paced life… 🙏♥️

Love Your F*cking Life!
THIS!
All of this.
For someone with a true PASSION for capturing memories and moments. That is what has crushed me the most this past 15 months.
Life is NOT meant to be lived in isolation.
As much as I love my home, I love quiet evenings. I also love being around my people. I love seeing and hearing people laughing, having fun.
I was teetering feeling very low, filled with anxiety, the unknown and uncertainty. It hit me this weekend. I’m glad I leaned in last week and honored me.
Also reminded me to ALWAYS live in alignment. Which is standing for what I believe in, not just because it’s what I believe, because of real life experiences, examples, actual data and living in truth of ethics and values.
Life is so damn precious. People used to tell me when our babies were young how quickly it will go. They aren’t kidding.
These past 15 months our kids have not only grown alot, they are maturing into young adults.
Take your life and make it the BEST story in the world.
Don’t waste that shit!!! 🙌
And… don’t be afraid to move your body… and LOVE the skin you are in 😍
P.s. And just take the fucking photos. Your kids will get to an age they dont want their pics taken or shared online. Always take the pic, for your memories♥️
They are so precious. Especially of our children with various family members on both sides of our family. 🥰😭📷
Your Pain Matters
Years ago while our son was doing homework, he had music playing and I remember calling down to him to turn it off so he could “focus better”. This was one of my revelations that we ALL learn so differently. Our son told me he can focus better WITH the music on.
It didn’t take me long to know exactly what he meant by that. As soon as he told me that I heard myself say, YES that is so true! I told my son to do what he needed to do to feel productive. When I listen to pod casts or you tube videos or music while working – whether at work or home, it goes by so fast and I feel so productive!
Listening to Kim and Jamie Fitzpatrick’s new pod cast – The Fitzlife Unfiltered. In their 2nd podcast, I understood better why I had an energetic pull to them and more specifically me to Kim, SO many similarities in our lives even the age difference between the the ladies and men, 8 years LOL!
What stood out to me in their 2nd episode, as they talked about when Jamie had a cardiac arrest and Kim said – Your Pain Matters. Regardless of when the pain happened.
I am truly grateful for this reminder. As, well we have all been through some form of pain in each of our lives. No one can judge the pain one person has and determine that their pain is more than anyone elses. All of our lives are different and our feelings matter.
I wanted to share this reminder, because its never been more true for so many of us right now. Navigating the truths of our lives and understanding that we do not need anyone else to validate how we are feeling OR what we know is truth in our heart.
Your pain matters – regardless of what that pain is, who you are, where you live, what colour your skin is or your state of your health. If you are IN pain – that is enough validation to lean in to YOU and do what YOU need to honor that pain and be able to move freely again.
Truth Has Endurance
If there is one thing in life, its that the truth will ALWAYS prevail. It may not be immediate, but Truth has endurance. Lies have speed.
There was a document circulating around that I saw a screen shot of yesterday. So of course, use discernment, if you see something – do the research yourself. Which is what I have shared screen shots of below. Now more than ever, its so important to get grounded in what you firmly believe in and know as truth – for yourself and your family.
LIGHT IS RIGHT.
Which means, if you feel heavy, tense, unsure, its not right – something energetically is out of balance.
Why I am sharing this graph is because the people of Ontario are being kept on “lockdown” I wont get into bad mouthing the government, lets just leave it as I have clear concerns that there is something that is not making sense at all. Look at the graph above. We are being kept in lockdown because of rising cases… Look at all covid cases and the relevance with those who have already had a vaxx… A reminder this was released by public health so Ontario KNOWS THIS and yet we are still being kept on “lockdown”…
The Truth Has Endurance
Truth Will Set You Free
Nature Knows
