My Healing Notes

Power

• 

Each new year I choose a word that I want to focus on for twelve months. I am always amazed at the insights and growth that comes when I do this. Some of the words I have chosen in the past are ‘Joy’ and ‘Freedom’. But this year I chose ‘Power’. Through this focus I have become aware of the (many) times I have given away my personal power, and what it means to take it back. So far I have come to understand a little of what it means to be ‘Empowered’ and to empower others. (It is only March, though!) And I have learned that mindset is possibly the most important thing we can develop – how we look at things.

A big part of my focus on ‘Power’ this year is to resume writing this blog. My intention is to encourage all of us, to empower us in new ways, and, no matter what, to be stronger because of it.

So here we are with a new ‘stay at home’ or ‘lockdown’ order from our state due to the COVID-19 virus. What better time to consider our personal ‘Power’?!

Today I am going to empower myself to learn how to blanche and freeze the fresh vegetables I bought yesterday. How will you empower yourself today?

Spring 2020

Here we are again, a new season of Spring. A new season on so many levels though, many we never imagined. Currently, confined at home while the latest corona virus stalks, it would be easy to become fearful and/or give up. Please allow this gentle encouragement to bolster your spirits, and join me in finding and naming the things we can be thankful for. Even in the spring storms we can find respite, appreciate beauty, and cherish peace. And let our minds rest on these things. Even in the midst of pain and grief, there are blessings and calmness to be found. It is my prayer that you seek these things to focus on, and take one day at a time.
