Dear Mama,
Do you wonder why you haven’t heard from me in a while?
Here’s why: on top of life being very intense on many levels, my computer broke down.
So I did what good life coach would do: dig in, feel and explore all the feelings that have been coming up, take care of myself, and transform.
And transform I did. I feel like I’ve been in a chrysalis, where the caterpillar turns to mush before it emerges as a butterfly. It’s been hard, but also incredibly good for soul growth.
Also, I made a new episode of my “Mama Show” series, to talk about some of this and give you some support and inspiration if you’re also feeling all this intensity, but guess what?
My computer broke. Yup, it broke, and I lost everything I had on it, including the project I’ve been working on for y’all.
So that was another reason I had to allow myself to be turned into caterpillar/butterfly soup inside of my little cocoon.
It’s all good though, truly, because I have the tools and the support I need to navigate these stormy waters, and I’m so glad for them (for the tools and support, not the stormy waters).
If you need support, please talk with me. Book a free session to see how I can help.
In the meantime, I want to remind you of the most important thing right now:
Self care, self care, self care.
I wrote a blog post last year about making rose water for a nurturing bath in the tub, and it’s so super easy that I want to share it with you here. My roses have been blooming their little butts off here at our homestead, so it’s perfect time!
So, darling, as always: be kind to yourself, especially in these crazy times with all this intense energy hitting us.
Much love,
Corina
PS: There’s still time to sign up for our “NOURISH YOUR SOUL” retreat at our homestead in August!
Yes, self care! You know I am a Realtor. You know it’s an intense life because I’m also trying to build up/remodel/take care of animals/homestead life. Well, yesterday we said To Heck With It. We decided to hike up a grueling but intensely beautiful rocky path into the Sierra’s to the Dinkey Lakes Loop (east of Fresno). O My, I almost ruined myself because of altitude gain and uphill hike but I respected The Edge and called it quits before I got full blown altitude sickness. The reward was that I am totally rejuvenated today and so full of happy energy. It Works!
That’s awesome! Hiking is one of my sanity-inducing self-care methods, too. Good for you!
I’m so sorry about your computer :^( But you are right, there has been so much intensity as of late! Despite getting 8+ hours of sleep per night, I’ve been exhausted all week…like put my head on my desk at work and sleep the sleep of the dead exhausted. Tempers have been running high, stress levels have been peaking and so many things just seem out of whack. My family and I are heading to Boston for a mini-vacation and some much needed relaxation. I’m so looking to it, because even though we have a full slate of things to do, I know it will help my husband and I will feel less edgy and more present in our lives.
I hear ya! I am so glad you are getting a mini vacation. Soak it up all the way!!!
