Obviously my momma bear is roaring high. But, my daughter who is pretty shy, has stepped out of her comfort zone and put herself out there to bake and give away free heart shaped dog cookies for Valentines Day at a local pet store. I advertised for her a bit on local dog groups, hoping our community would step up for her and support our youth with their dreams. Since she could talk, she created a business that was directed towards animals. Yet, someone takes the time to comment on the post in one of the groups basically bullying her product. I don’t understand, this is a child. An 11yr old child, putting herself out there. This person commenting is an adult. What’s wrong with people? Especially where I am BC Canada, we just had a school shooting. And this commenter is flooding her page with the shooting. Yet, displays this type of behaviour? I’m trying hard to not rip into her. Someone please help me release these negative, ugly emotions. I am trying not to give out more negativity into the world. Two wrongs don’t make a right. I feel not commenting is being the bigger person, but inside it’s making me burn like fire. Chloe spent and entire afternoon baking the cookies which are made with blueberry and they’re super soft. Also my camera can’t capture the true purple/blue. I get it, yes they look grey, but it just floors me to take a jab at a child.

Happy Tuesday Alchemists! I would love for you to share, what is one glimmer that you had today? Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. With a trigger, it evokes heavy emotions like anger, whereas a glimmer sparks light emotions, like happiness. So many times, we tend to focus on not enough-ness which makes us feel so less than. By adjusting our mindset to recognize glimmers too, it balances out the imposter syndrome with feeling worthy. if you need guidance, support, a space to just be with others without saying a word, I'll be in the office until about 6:15pm ✨

I thought I would share my first entry in my book of thoughts, that I started today. I decided to make this to help on days that I am struggling. To help me see the “glimmer” in those days. I think we often forget to pause and reflect. Reflect on our thoughts, and our actions. Whether that’s something I can personally change in what I do or react to, or how those around me act. It’s hard to not get sucked into others emotions or personal battles. Lately I have felt like a punching bag between my mother, father and husband. That I’m just in the middle and every direction I turn someone takes another punch. It’s been hard, the last few months with it taking a lot out of me emotionally, and physically. But, I’m hoping when those days arise again, I can pull out this book and remind myself to not get pulled under. I can’t control the way others behave or react but I can control myself. Maybe these little blurbs will help someone else too.

Happy Friday! How are you feeling today? The holidays can be an overwhelming time for so many of us and if you’re one of them too, I am sending you the biggest virtual hug filled with an abundance of love and light ✨ I’ll be in the office this evening catching up to comments and if you need any support or guidance, I got you 🫶

Hello all, I’m Jae! Nice to meet you all. I use oracle decks to help me balance emotions or give thought into something that may have not crossed my mind. This deck is called Daily Gratitude. Seems fitting for this community. This was the card I pulled today. Maybe something someone here could use or contemplate today. Feel free to share your thoughts.. As for me, as much as I have cursed this house for not being the most “prettiest” or “desirable”…It’s still our home and is a roof over our heads. I almost gave birth on our couch. My children have grown here. There’s been many, many laughs. Family gatherings, as well as many, many, tears. On the wall is notches of my children growing. There’s wax split all over the wall in our living room where the previous owners tried to burn the house down. This place has seen many things, and continues to keep us safe. I am appreciative.
