I look at this beautiful picture of my grandson and my heart leaps for joy! Every fibre of his being is completely present in that moment and there is something so spirited about it that it has the power to draw me right into it and actually feel for a split second what he is feeling.Each time I look at it I travel at light speed back to my childhood where I too had similar exquisite moments, and a thought of love and gratitude goes out to my parents who worked so hard to provide me with a treasure chest of memories that have since saved my soul over and over again,and sometimes the memories are so pure that I cannot prevent tears cascading from my eyes and down my cheeks like a waterfall of emotions.
Don't think for one second that my childhood was perfect in any way but there were so many perfect moments that I am able to draw upon to brace me up and soothe my soul,that is the gift I have been given and to which I owe a debt of gratitude for. If we are living then we will experience the full spectrum of the rainbows and the thunderstorms,the stillness and the cracking thunder,the peace of a perfect sunrise and the fear of what tomorrow may hurl at us so fast we are left reeling in shock.I have come to truly understand that I am the sum of all my choices plus a few little extra nuggets strewn across my pathway by others,some so beautiful like spotting the perfect shell on the beach you just have to run and pick it up and look over every piece of it turning it in the palm of your hand in wonder at how such an amazing thing could ever exist and what a miracle it was that you should find it! Others so deeply gruelling,such personal gethsemane moments that we are compelled to cry out in pain to our creator for relief,for help,to hold us up above the quagmire in the hollow of His hand for a while until we can gather enough courage to take a little peek into the blackness and dip our toes back into this experience we call life.
And so... this brings me to the purpose of this blog,'Together we really do Bloom'! Life can be enjoyed so much more with people around us,we get to learn and grow from each other.It is so much better and divinely inspired I believe that we are each so uniquely different from each other,if this were not the case how would we evolve as human beings? How would we blossom into the very best version of ourselves and become a beacon to others.Over time I plan to share thoughts,feelings,experiences you may be able to draw upon for your own circumstances. As a studying naturopath I would love to share beautiful recipes and lifestyle choices to enjoy a more vibrant healthy mind & body and connect with the world we live in with an abundant mentality ready to give and live.I do this with lots of support and a whole bucket of love from me and my gang to you and yours.
