We are all mirrors

 When you look into a mirror facing another, what happens? It looks like they go on for infinity. ..

Self-check. Shift gears

 LOL I've been so productive today all while still being in my PJs...my first thought is...why should I stop now? Stay in my PJs

....Yeah, that's when it's time to shift gears...haha. #getdressed #getout #geterdone

Celebrating the love of teaching that my teachers shared

 I'm just in admiration right now of the geeky teachers I had growing up LOL. They loved what they taught so much, that they could explain concepts like chemical bonds in unschooled terms and also jump into a description of orbital rotation of electrons influencing polarity in the same breath. That is inspiring! I chose the discipline of Biology, but also saw the joy in the other disciplines as well. My son came to me yesterday and was excited that they were starting chemistry. He asked me a few questions and honestly HAHAHA, I couldn't break it down into laymen terms. I could see the structures of the molecules and the bonds, etc., but yeah....I'm gonna have to study the "jargon" so I can help him out better

I see why I chose to study biology over chemistry...sheeesh! #getyourGeekon #teachersarecool #therehasgottobeaneasierway

Reel our eyes...real our "I"'s, ...realize... the journey of sleep

 Good morning! And when we reel our eyes...real our "I"'s, ...realize that we are allowed to be awake to everything around us and that it is by CHOICE that we choose to go to "sleep"...allowing ourselves to be rested, restored, refreshed, and recovered from all that all our eyes (and I 's) took in during the day before outside of our direct observation and command...that we trust our pieces to be realigned and even healed while our eyes are closed...each night we decide to have faith and each morning we open up again to the journey of awe and wonder.

....streeeetcccchhhh.... I am up!

Happy Earth Day

Today I celebrate growing a garden and being in the wonderful community we live in. So much has grown in the last 7 years. Not just our perennials that need splitting, but also our relationships with our neighbours and ourselves. It is and will be a beautiful day indeed.
 Shared from Facebook...

Good morning! I'm up and waiting for the sun to rise :) It's Earth Day! Hubby will be out hiking in nature and I will be tackling the garden in some way. 💖 And over 10 years of gardening on this day, no matter what the weather  (although I  only remember one year where it felt cold, but I  still was out weeding and clearing up the flower beds). It's also the official day we became neighbours and "family" in this community we live in. Many welcoming, happy, and curious people came to meet us and claim us as their own haha. Now, that I know most of who they are, I  realize that they came from many blocks over to say hi...and continue to do so many years later. This has inspired my heart of connection and breaking down even that barrier of understanding into fostering family in communities.  This year I am focused on sharing not only the wealth of the garden with our community (it's not just mine, I  have just enjoyed being a good steward of what grows here), as many of the perennials have grown abundantly, but also sharing in the wealth of hearts that grow here abundantly as well. Take a look around and see how you can contribute...to receiving and taking care of a healthy, happy environment,  and planet. It starts with us 💖

Share in the light from others

 When we are inspired. ..when we are healed...when we are helped by the brilliance of someone's free-flowing light from within....

All I can say is...thank you #whatmorewouldIsay #whendovescry #Prince #RIP #inspired #movedfromtheheart

Shaking up the morning

Good morning! All week so far, the boys have been up in the middle of the night. So this morning I woke them up nice and early with J and I. HAHA so far, they have played, done chores, are currently reading together, and are grateful for being dragged out of bed. Training in adaptability I said. Passing with flying colours indeed Love these guys

The raw and messy of growth

 Good morning!  Raw! Messy! Authentic!  Growing ...changing and just downright Beautiful! That's what I have been blessed with. ..It was/is perfect and imperfect at the same time...I asked for flow and it came. Now with wisdom (#thankyouGod presently, and in advance...) this will grow amazing fruit. The journey of love and life may not run smooth,  but it's awesome and filling as breath itself ❤

My little bug rescuer

 I had a son who declared himself the "bug rescuer"....that meant catch and release would become our program. If anyone came close to squishing a bug in the house, he would get hysterical. That was when he was 4 to about 7 years old...but still in practice

Connect in with what makes you feel alive

 Good morning! Nothing like studying out some wave propagation first thing in the morning to get you going in the day. I don't know how, but am I EVER excited of the wonder of mind that has been put in me to see such AMAZING connections in this experience called life. I love adding science to my quiet times and just having my mind blown into awe and wonder.

This is pure bliss for me and runs deep with passion. Excited to see how this will play out in application from this point forward.

Okay, back to doing dishes.

We are one

 Good morning! This morning was an important time...to remind myself and my family...that we are one as a family of four (supported by a whole lot more

). That in our house, our edges are softer. ..our comfort zones and boundaries tend to overlap, and that we are best when we are the presence of one another. We, no matter where we are individually, are still that family of four. Fully supported, lovingly celebrated, and courageously defended and protected.

#thankyouGod #Lovefirst #oneanotherlove #encouraged #gotmyboysback

Wisdom as daily nourishment

 Good morning! Wisdoms, taken daily, is as nourishment. Sometimes it's the same day in and day out, a meal you never grow tired of... comfort food. And other times, hits of creativity, variety, and inspiration, like going out to a new restaurant on date night. Stay nourished.

Poem - Emotional Denial Complex

Studying out the physiological reactions to external stimuli.
 Due to long term, numerous, and precise studies in the matter,
Many have theorized the logical pathway of the human condition
That causes one to change the structuring of expression
On their faces and alter their heart rates and biochemical interactions
Essentially taking and destroying the "being" of emotion into disconnected,  bit-sized chunks,
 For further analysis at a later date.
How can we duplicate these expressions,
and series of logical pathways
To simulate the "human experience " in AI form.
To imitate intent, to modulate moments, and simulate connection.
Someone's desire for perfection has cut humble, and you, and man
Out of the equation.
How has our "quest" and "thirst" for knowledge
Cut out the experience of thirst....desire of quest
How has science become a science of eliminating,  and leaving
Brokens chunks of flesh and skeletal composition
To roam ....seaking for hand....to touch
Groping... for eyes...to see
Through uncertainty,
Putting back together ...ourselves
From an intelligence of what we really are?
Coded, programmed, theorized with intent
Before our form....by and for what purpose?

That we might, choose to feel...
Choosee to see...that we are...
For Delight!
For playing and building with legos
and mastering emotions and egos kinda joy.
For infinite imagining, connecting, through coy drama, struggle,
Through tears and muddled up moments...
Through seasons,  and flowers, and grass, and snow angels,
 Through kindness, kisses, and hugs, and...
Through compassion, appreciation,  and love.
Through awe, and gasp, and wonder
Through shock, surprise, and terror
Threads of life and living
 Are weaving....overlapping,  entangling ...connecting. ..
Bringing back together the floating chunks
With clunk and clammer
Through manna and matter. ..
As skin ...as Embraced....as One.
 Entirety.
 Leaving no part out as error,
 but as amplifier
Purposed and Perfect Reminder
Of the Unity within our humanity.

Finding yourself at a Garage sale

Good morning! We had a great garage sale yesterday. Made great connections, had great conversations, encouragement for many hearts...It's beautiful to see how people get excited about such a vulnerable thing as a garage sale. There is a piece of your story that people feel they are witnessing. ..no matter the intent to haggle for a deal, they can't take the value out of what they are receiving.  One lady bought shoes for a steal and it was more important for me for her to go and share about receiving the shoes for a deal then getting a good price for them. Even gave her boyfriend an opportunity for bragging rights 😁😁

But the main highlight....was from the free spiritual and Christian books that we gave away.There were a few times that I went through this batch of books that were gifted to us... over the years... and all these books that were noticed and found by others...that I didn't realize we had...crazy! Ones that were recommended to us to read had found its way under our roof somehow LOL. So I  went for a dig through the collection....and was drawn to a coverless book with small print on the spine. I flipped it open to a random page and read...and laughed out loud seeing the theme of my last week continue to dance out on the page. AMAZING! Expanded awesomeness! I know I am meant to share something pretty huge....a GOOD news. And continue to share it from the insight and guidance I feel I am receiving.  Strangers giving you hugs for sharing from your deepest joy? It's no accident...giving a hope beyond understanding that you continue to shake your head in amazement...just lovingly awesome!  Compelled with compassion  that there is no limit or restrictions to its flow? Wonder-full!

 So yeah, we had a garage sale, cleared out a bunch of stuff, made some money, and we had good, sunny weather to enjoy as well...the kids sold some baked goods.  Ate banana bread and cookies all day LOL. It was a truly, and fully blessed day.
