Some false beliefs are born out of our own negative experiences. We come to random conclusions like, “that food was terrible, I’m never eating at that restaurant again.” We believe, in some way, that all of the food is bad or all of the servers are rude and we tell everyone not to go there and never step foot in the building again. . . Or maybe we say, “relationships are scary and there’s no one out there who will understand me anyways,” and we proceed to isolate our self and avoid emotional intimacy. . . Many of our false beliefs are actually not our own, though. We adopt them from the role models we were exposed to as children. Namely, our parents, but it could be many other people too. . . My dad was always a very serious traveller. He had a schedule and a list of activities that he would, at the expense of others, do his very best to abide by. The itinerary was his way of trying to maximize “fun,” maybe to make the trip worth it. I don’t know. We did have fun… but it usually came at a price. . . My mother travelled cheap. She wanted to maximize a trip by doing the most things for the least amount of money. All hail the budget! . . So as I plan my trip across the country, I’m thinking of ways to have fun and save money… and my thoughts digress into ideas that strangely resemble these attitudes and beliefs that don’t belong to me, but to my parents. . . I’ve found a way to beat it. When ever I’m faced with false beliefs, I find the simplest way to blast them is to do exactly that thing that my false beliefs tell me not to do. . . I recognize the fear, the pattern, identify the source — and then rebel. . . I had an idea about our trip. My brain said, “that doesn’t make sense. What about money. What about time. It’s not logical or rational. What will people think? You don’t have to do that.” . . Yeah, I’m gonna do that thing. I can’t tell you what it is yet. But it’s obviously related to the trip itinerary. . .

When they Cherish you and you sigh with relief as if you’d been holding your breath for your whole life. It’s not that you never deserved to be honoured and held. It’s not that you weren’t. But in the right way at the right time when you are ready to receive it… when cherish means where you are how you are As you are. Sigh because it’s real Sigh because a shallow breath is one of subdued panic Sigh because you’re too weary to resist it Sigh because it’s safe. And maybe you have been Holding your breath for your whole life the unconscious fibres of your body Braced. Sometimes for every reason sometimes for none. Sigh It’s been a long time too long to turn away from love now. Sigh Let your body melt Sigh settle in This is where you should have always been and this is where you can stay. . . . . . #healing #emotionalintelligence #consciousliving #consciousness #selfaware #personalgrowth #motherwound #growthmindset #intuition #lightwork #spirituality #emotionalabuse #boundaries #recovery #consciousmama #consciousparent #relationships #relationshipgoals #spiritualawakening #awakening #empath #selfcompassion #divinepartnership #truelove #gentlelove #lovepoem #lovenotes (at Lethbridge, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByD0g3rAZ8p/?igshid=1xbjuxzaafhv9
Is this what I’ve been testing the boundaries of? . . Scraping the surface of a world that is *not* a trauma world. The internal Death Mother lives on and tries to drag me back down. It’s working. . . Even if I am not quite convinced of a world that doesn’t require trauma-responses as a navigation system, where hypervigilance is unnecessary, I am still willing to believe that it might be there, waiting for me. . . Not waiting passively. Actively waiting. Life beckons us and only we get to decide whether we will answer, not whether we are worthy. . . Like all parallel realities, I can choose which timeline I will enter into. Trauma-World or Supportive Universe. . . The Death Mother says that even if the Supportive Universe exists, I am not worthy of it. . . The great hoax of the mind is that worthiness isn’t earned, it is granted the moment we show up. If you show up, you are already worthy. . . Trauma-World is terrifying. I don’t want to live here anymore. . . #healing #emotionalintelligence #consciousliving #consciousness #selfaware #personalgrowth #motherwound #growthmindset #intuition #lightwork #spirituality #emotionalabuse #boundaries #recovery #consciousmama #consciousparent #relationships #relationshipgoals #spiritualawakening #awakening #empath #selfcompassion #traumaworld #deathmother (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2w4Q2RAKm0/?igshid=s22wkqfx1gnx
On this enlightening Aquarius full moon — free yourself. . . . Even if they are lying Even if they’ve twisted the story Even if there were extenuating circumstances Even if it’s cost you other relationships Even if they were wrong Even if you did your best Even if you’ve already apologized . . . Let them have their story Let them barter for pity Let them seduce new lovers Let them fool their selves Let them lie Let them live in their skewed reality . . . Let them & Let it Go. . . . When we allow them this freely — and focus on rebuilding our lives FORWARD — we make them utterly and completely irrelevant. . . . #healing #emotionalintelligence #consciousliving #consciousness #selfaware #personalgrowth #motherwound #growthmindset #intuition #lightwork #spirituality #emotionalabuse #boundaries #recovery #consciousmama #consciousparent #relationships #relationshipgoals #spiritualawakening #awakening #empath #selfcompassion #letgo #moveon #fullmoon (at Alsask, Saskatchewan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MlHCcg0ql/?igshid=kytcr75l1syn
The remedy is to keep on creating for inspiration owes me nothing. Art is the product of my duty to myself my obligation to serve. There isn’t any success or failure here Art is the path on which I walk Art is the footprints I leave behind Art is the discipline to always return. Inspiration says, Do you want to play again? Art is the answer, which is always Yes. Art is not my baby to follow, feed, and protect. I don’t hold that power No one does. I am the creator I am the created. I do not give birth to art It gives birth to me. . . . . . . . . . #healing #emotionalintelligence #consciousliving #consciousness #selfaware #personalgrowth #motherwound #growthmindset #intuition #lightwork #spirituality #emotionalabuse #boundaries #empath #selfcompassion #creativity #poem #poetry #creative #bigmagic #inspiration #art #artist (at Drumheller, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1LFfhCgBU2/?igshid=hmdo7gwiiecs

Day 1-2: Camping in the Livingstone PLUZ. This is a secret spot — turn right after the bridge type deal — there’s a staircase and a steep driveway down to the spot. It’s in the elbow of a creek nestled in a stand of trees surrounded by forest. All the other “good spots” are up the hill, so you’re only likely to see people if they’re walking up the creek to fly fish. . . We decided to stay two nights so we could have a full 24 hours of “nothing to do, no where to be.” Something that’s been unheard of in our world for months on months. . . God, we have worked so hard for all of this. Months on months of working too many hours while still trying to maintain a “lifestyle” and save up money. . . Right now it’s 6pm and we’ve only been driving for a few hours today. When me and T van-camped England I just drove when I felt like it and stopped when I didn’t. Sometimes we drove all night and sometimes we drove just for a few hours. . . For now, we are going to keep on going. It’s the long weekend in Canada so camp sites might be full anyways ♀️♀️ . . #roadtriplife #crosscanada #exploreBC #healing #emotionalintelligence #consciousliving #consciousness #selfaware #personalgrowth #motherwound #growthmindset #intuition #lightwork #spirituality #emotionalabuse #boundaries #recovery #consciousmama #consciousparent #relationships #relationshipgoals #spiritualawakening #awakening #empath #selfcompassion (at British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0uKPZYgC4t/?igshid=knnf8nykzzmm
when we moved in together we bought a few little things a soap dispenser shower curtain and caddy some drapes for the bedroom all of it replaceable except it reminds me of home, now because home is with him. the shower curtain is a little slice of heaven from our first home so I suppose these little things can come, too. wish turns to prayer let everything leave me and let me leave everything except those things that remind me how I loved myself and how we loved each other. . . . . . #poetry #writing #spilledink #newpath #journeybound #healing #emotionalintelligence #consciousliving #consciousness #selfaware #personalgrowth #motherwound #growthmindset #intuition #lightwork #spirituality #emotionalabuse #boundaries #recovery #consciousmama #consciousparent #relationships #relationshipgoals #spiritualawakening #awakening #empath #selfcompassion (at Table Mountain (berg i Kanada, Alberta)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzjT5-ZgY3g/?igshid=sa84tijk7x80
The purging started with a humble wish please let me leave this entire life behind and the life before that and the life before that and the life before that. Can this be the real beginning? Can I, me, can she start here. I go through the boxes and I go through the drawers and it all feels so heavy seeped in guilt and memory and I feel as though if I could just get rid of all of it maybe my heart would feel whole again. how can an object of such inconsequential appearance rip my guts out? how does a bit of metal pendants on chains make me cry myself to sleep? If I can just get rid of all of it I can be new. And yet, there’s that little vase and I remember how much I loved myself when I bought it. Little twelve year old me thought enough of me thought enough of an artist my dad said why? with that typical look of superior knowledge. she shrugged I shrugged I brought it home and loved it so, maybe the vase can come with me. wish became prayer let everything leave me and let me leave everything except those things that remind me of how I loved myself. . . . . . #poetry #writing #leaving #newpath #healing #emotionalintelligence #consciousliving #consciousness #selfaware #personalgrowth #motherwound #growthmindset #intuition #lightwork #spirituality #emotionalabuse #boundaries #recovery #consciousmama #consciousparent #relationships #relationshipgoals #spiritualawakening #awakening #empath #selfcompassion (at Lethbridge, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzjSvJwAaN7/?igshid=1bv37a9d5l93l
Everyone who watches this has one weakness they are aware of. Something they aren’t good at. Something they haven’t addressed. Everyone. That is the beginning of the process of self-awareness.
