Hi Friend :)
How has your week been?
As you can imagine I've been deeply immersed in family, family connection and while busy with the twins and Aria....I've felt an internal slowing down....probably to manage external stress and stay calm and peaceful through little sleep and always being in demand.
I've also felt the call to reach out for support through this time...."It takes a village" has been front and centre for us! And with our families being anywhere from 3.5 hrs to continents away....we've really needed to call upon our "extended" family....our soul family and friends! Who have been extremely gracious and helpful.....bringing over food, meeting up for coffee, offering to watch Aria....We really do need one another. Of course we can do A LOT on our own....and many times we do.....however there is something beautiful and nurturing about asking for and receiving support through times of change and transition.
When our family, friends, tribe, soul group show up....we all get to RISE UP! We all get to thrive! And we feel not so alone in this big world....and that we don't have to do it all on our own!
Who do you call upon for support? Is your family close by? Do you have a tight-knit group of friends?
During
the most difficult times, we seek comfort and support from those closest to us....usually our family members. However today, that may not always be possible. Families are more spread out across the world than ever before, divorce rates are at an all time high, technology has a way of connecting us across the world...and yet can create emotional distance. So then....where do we go for comfort and support....and do we even know how to ask for and receive support anymore?
Regardless as to who or what you call family (friends, tribe, soul group) a few core elements are essential to our well-being - LOVE - Being loved and loving another. And CONNECTION - feeling and being connected...knowing that you HAVE a support system to tap into at any time.
To help you nurture and expand the love and connections around you....I'm
excited to tell you about a FREE interview series my friend Toni Black is offering...that I'm also a part of!
