A Little Update on August

 Hey Dear Ones,

  I just returned from a little trip to Vancouver Island. It has been a dry summer ~ very dry. There have been wild fires burning all over our Province and so the air has been choked with smoke for days. Our trip to the island brought relief from the smoke and the haze and THAT is the perfect illustration of what it has been my life this 2017 summer as well.

  I have been grieving since February and grieving many things. It was right around that time I started sleeping better for the first time in years as my two year old started sleeping through the night which gave my body some sort of release to process a lot of things I have been struggling through. I also lost a baby. Being pregnant for over twelve weeks, miscarrying, and the aftermath for me was a lot to take. All Summer I felt like the smoke ~ just lying heavy, and choking, nothing clear, and it was hard. I have had lots of times like that in my life ~ which in many ways makes it harder for me because I felt so guilty being sad...AGAIN! 

However getting away on this trip was happy. I needed happy.

I took lots of pictures which I will share with you at a later day.

 And if you have been grieving something. If you have felt heavy, like the pain in your heart makes you gasp for breath, if you have felt like you can't really even walk because your body just does not have the strength. Well, welcome to most of my summer, and I can promise you that if you keep on, things will slowly lift. One day the sun might shine through, and the air might feel clear and easy to breathe, and all that was in a haze in your heart and spirit might look clear and clean and bright.

  It might take a long time and thats okay. Give yourself time. Don't stop looking for healing, let yourself rest, and I hope you will feel loved and supported ~ because you are worth that! I'll write again soon.

Love Tansy
