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.

Hey alchemists! How is your Wednesday? I’ll be in the office from 5p-6p this evening, don’t hesitate to reach out 💛💛💛

Just a gentle little check-in as we land in this moment together. No pressure. No fixing. No needing to have the right words. You can simply come as you are today… messy, calm, hopeful, tired, growing — all of you is welcome here. Tell me one tiny thing from your day: ✨ something that made you smile ✨ something that felt a little heavy ✨ or just drop a yellow heart so I know you’re here I’ll be hanging out with you for the next hour, walking beside you in whatever you’re carrying. You are seen. You are valid. You are never alone in this space. 💛

Hey Alchemists! How was your Monday? Mine was productive and a little tiresome. Overall, I’m grateful for another day 🫶 I’m trying some later office hours this week to see if that works a little better for everyone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’ll be in the office tonight until 7 ✨

I read online the other day that women suffer more mentally with clutter around the house than men do. My husband is always saying how I throw everything out. I don’t think I do, but I usually have this “rule” that if you don’t use something within a year, you most likely don’t need it. Anyway, the last two years, I’ve felt very overwhelmed with the amount of “stuff” we have. I’m part of the problem too. I probably contribute a lot to it. But, lately everywhere I look, there is something. Knickknacks, plants, collectables, kids stuff, stones, movies, just so much! I’ve done a decent job at thinning out my plants since Christmas. And I’ve done good with not replacing them with other plants. But the other day, I read this declutter prompt, and it said: “If you can part with 5 things everyday for 1 month. You’ll notice a significant difference at the months end.” So needless to say, after all my rambling I started this today. I picked a section in my bedroom and parted with 10 items. Tomorrow, I will do the same and try to keep it going for the month. Maybe I can manage to sneak out some of my kids “stuff” without them even noticing. Hah! 😅 Maybe someone else could benefit with a little spring cleaning prompt. 5 things everyday/31 days!
