3 little sickies lying on the couches.
3 red faces.
3 fevers hot.
White candles burning.
Filling up the space.
3 little boys lit up with light.
Holding space with my boys.
Holding my boys.
Water.
Soup.
Apple sauce.
Toast.
3 little boys down for the count.
Not for long, though, so world watch out!

With gratitude for the choices that I have made to allow these days to be simple days where I still get paid.
Freedom.
Day by day.
Being present.
Mothering my boys.
Being me.
I have learned how to cleanse.
I love the freedom it brings my mind and body!
I have previously fasted from Facebook, sugar and books.
I loved the awareness that it brought.
And when I heard about a negativity fast and positivity feast for 40 days of Lent, I felt like this was the best idea yet!
I love the possibilities that this will bring.
I believe that every word that I speak and write has power, seen and unseen.
I believe that one person, me, can change the world around me by being positive in thought and mind.
I believe that if I am intentional about being positive, I will find positive!
Anyone want to bite off a huge chunk of positivity and feast with me for the next forty days?
Here is what Igniting Hope Ministries talks about during this season:
Let’s all take a big chunk of positivity in uses well as through us and watch what will happen!
This post is inspired by the incredible work Igniting Hope Ministries does affecting the seen and unseen world.
Striving to be “perfect”?
Without flaws.
Without mistakes.
Living the perfect life.
Making the perfect decisions.
Constantly striving to live in a state of “being” perfect!
Are you exhausted just reading that?
I feel fatigued just writing it as I think about my former mindset and my former decision-making process.
I am now striving to do imperfectly GREAT things.
Just doing the do.
Writing.
Talking.
Loving.
Being.
Present to whatever comes my way and knowing that I will NEVER be free from flaws nor mistakes, but I have a depth of spirit that will allow me to apologize and change course as needed! I am easily adaptable because of the grace that I am constantly given and the grace that I can give others. I know that great things come out of just being present and imperfect.

Tuesday and Thursday mornings are the time when I have all three boys in school. I fill my time with a bit of exercise, writing, and connecting with people.
This morning, I awoke to one sick, JC, my current sidekick for the day!
Previously, I would feel deep anguish over the plans for my day having to be adjusted. I would feel stress in my shoulders and a turning in my tummy as I pondered how to make the day work.
Today, I felt InCrEdIbLe! An opportunity to hangout with my oldest. My “to do” list was thrown out into the abyss to be pondered for another day. I love being able to spend time with each of my boys together and individually. My “doing” can always wait, but my “being” is the greatest gift that I can give to myself and others.
Being present.
Doing great things.
Through the imperfections of life.
With flaws.
With mistakes.
Loving.
Being.

One more peruse of facebook as I lay my head down on the pillow.
One scroll.
One glimpse.
With shock and awe I read this incredible comment from Jodi who has just finished my book. She told me she had to share this quote as it reminded her of me:
For any fellow human being to take the time to send me a quote, I am honoured.
I have had three beautiful peeps forward “word love” my way this week!
The greatest gift we can give each other is time.
Time to shine light.
Time to share inspiration.
Time to share words.
Time to be our sparkly star-shaped selves.
Time to pray and sit holding space with each other.
Time to embrace our ridiculous awesomeness.
Time to shine like a freaking supernova.
Love a duck!
A supernova.
Me?
Gotta love the “facebook love” as you lay your head down to sleep.
life,
Cancer teaches you how to celebrate.
Each drink of water.
Every step from the bed to the couch.
Celebrating a rub on my hand.
A nuzzle.
A twinkle in her eye.
A smile and a kiss from her lips.
Yes, cancer is the great teacher of celebration!
I have learned the lesson well.

Now I celebrate each conversation.
Send a card to celebrate a landmark in people’s lives.
Every night when my boys lie down to bed, I celebrate their days with them, nuzzle their necks, show them my twinkle for them and leave them with a smile and a kiss.
This last Saturday, we celebrated.
As a couple, as a family and as a business team!
Reaching a “Crystal” position.
We have put ourselves out there to share solutions we love.
Solutions around energy, performance, weight loss, healthy aging and wealth creation.
Solutions we believe can change lives.
Starting with us!
My boys told me that I am skinnier, kinder and that I have less vibration in my tummy!
My Sexy Neck told me that he can see my determination to reach my goals of helping people and that this is happening!
My CC told me that my pouchee tummy is gone!
I celebrate that I have something to give to the world!
I am no longer striving, I am just being.
Being me.
Doing what I love every day.
Connecting.
Coaching.
Conversing.
Being authentic.
Allowing people to be.
Celebrating!
Life!
Being!
Me!
Being who I have always dreamed that I could be!
"Be" ENOUGH
