Having a much needed timeout with my love.

Listening to great music at the red hot summer tour and a few drinks.

Self love and respect for meeting your own needs is so so important.

Don't burnout trying to meet the expectations of the world.

You do you and do what you need!

Make yourself number 1 and take the time you need.

Enjoy your weekend

I have been a little absent here. But....

A big part of healing is acceptance.

This is something I honestly have struggled with..

Accepting that I am worthy....

When my whole life I have felt unworthy, like something that nobody wants to keep but at the same time won't let anyone else have it, just tossing it to the side only acknowledging it when it serves their purpose.

Accepting that I can be loved....

Despite feeling like no one will ever love me the way I should be, because well.... I hadn't felt that feeling for such a long time.

Accepting all the hard times in my life....

As a guide to who I really am. They were aligning me to my higher self.

Accepting that it's ok to let go of things....

Because I don't need to carry it all!

Accepting that although I am strong...

It is ok to have moments of weakness, just get back up!

Accepting that my inner child needs me...

Because it is she who has suffered the most...

She who needs me more than ever...

She is me!!

To my inner child...

I am sorry for what you have been through

I am sorry for the pain you have felt

I am sorry for all the wrongs done to you

I am sorry you have felt sooo alone

But I am here now...

I will hold your hand

I will love you

I will stay with you

And we will sit, where we feel safe as we make this journey...

Together....

Into the light.

And we will not feel shame, nor will we justify it to anyone who questions the methods to our madness....

Because we have each other and we know who has our backs!

I love you and I always will!

You are allowed, you dont need anyone's permission but your own.

~💞~

You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t find yourself in. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t love yourself in.

You’re allowed to leave a city that has dimmed your light instead of making you shine brighter, you’re allowed to pack all your bags and start over somewhere else and you’re allowed to redefine the meaning of your life.

You’re allowed to quit the job you hate even if the world tells you not to and you’re allowed to search for something that makes you look forward to tomorrow and to the rest of your life.

You’re allowed to leave someone you love if they’re treating you poorly, you’re allowed to put yourself first if you’re settling and you’re allowed to walk away when you’ve tried over and over again but nothing has changed.

You’re allowed to let toxic friends go, you’re allowed to surround yourself with love, and people who encourage and nurture you. You’re allowed to pick the kind of energy you need in your life.

You’re allowed to forgive yourself for your biggest and smallest mistakes and you’re allowed to be kind to yourself, you’re allowed to look in the mirror and actually like the person you see.

You’re allowed to set yourself free from your own expectations.

We sometimes look at leaving as a bad thing or associate it with giving up or quitting, but sometimes leaving is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Leaving allows you to change directions, to start over, to rediscover yourself and the world. Leaving sometimes saves you from staying stuck in the wrong place with the wrong people.

Leaving opens a new door for change, growth, opportunities and redemption.

You always have the choice to leave until you find where you belong and what makes you happy.

You’re even allowed to leave the old you behind and reinvent yourself.~

Sometimes I am my own worst enemy!

But I am slowly learning to have compassion and respect for who I am.

Learning to embrace all that I am!!

And excited to rock all that I can be!!

So here I am and here I am to stay....

Even if I'm... 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

This is how I feel lately!!!

Been quiet, not sharing with you all....

Been going through a thing or 2.... or more..

Processing from here to there..... and everywhere...

Watching myself, the only self I have known for such a long time, slowly disappear....

Watching myself as if I'm on the outside watching in on someone else.....

Watching the darkness that consumed me...... slowly dissipate.....

Watching the layers of who I was, peel away with great satisfaction...

Watching me learn to love myself again....

Watching me scream out my anger, sadness, frustrations....

Watching me transform from an unauthentic, ego driven soul that fought with herself because none of that felt right...

Watching the light pour in to take over the darkness that was consuming me....

Watching me float as the weights of burden were lifted...

It's been an ugly process and still a long way to go...

So please understand if I tap out every now and then....

Cause just like a butterfly some changes aren't meant to be seen until complete

Yesterday I went to the local race day with my partner and his work.
I don't get dressed up often.... well very rarely!

I'm a mum and I dress like one 😂 ready to run a marathon if I need to, ready to wrestle a crocodile when it's nap time, ready to industrial clean a factory cause you know...mess, ready to hide in the bathroom eating chocolate crying because some days it's all too much.

As a mum, I am the last person thought of, so even though I am practising thinking about me and prioritising my needs too, I still have a long way to go!

So yesterday was great to just sit back and chill and not stress about mum life for a few hours as I knew everyone there was working together as a village to watch all the kids that were there so that all mums could have a break and enjoy their day.

Yesterday I felt pretty and I haven't felt that in a long time. It was nice to put the mum shoes up for the day and just be me...

It made me realise that I really need to say Hi to me more often cause I matter too!!

We often ponder 🤔 what life will be like in 5...10 years.

But we often don't take the steps to make our pondering come true!

5 years ago, when this photo was taken, I can tell you now, I dreamed of living elsewhere, being at home with the kids and feeling happy!

I worked as the accounts/reception/payroll for a mechanic business, was studying at night and doing weekend block training in Beauty Therapy, trying to manage my children going to school and daycare, getting one child to therapies and other appointments for their disability, cleaning the house, cooking the meals... you know all the mum things that we do 🤯🥵

While I pondered life being easier and being out where we were, I never imagined how good it was really going to be!!!

Fast forward 5 years... and I have my qualifications I was studying for, I had another baby (he is 3 this year), I live in a different state, starting to live the life I yearned for, I'm with my kids all the time, I even home-school them, my kids mental health is doing so much better with the change in environment, my mental health is doing better, we are breathing fresh air, we have cut ties with people and things that were doing us no favors and damaging us, we have removed ourselves from toxic situations and we making new friends and a new start for our family 😍🥰

That's huge changes and heaps more I could mention... however that's not what's important...

The important thing is TRUST.... I trusted in the process, even at times when I felt out of my mind and scared to hell, I TRUSTED.🥰

Everyday I trust in the process because I know I am supported! I am backed by an amazing community and friends.

Without this... today would look very different!!

And You can have it all too!!

So now I give you permission to TRUST the process and make the change!!

Take the leap, TRUST the process and make the change, learn new skills, do what you've wanted to do for years... take steps TODAY, don't wait for tomorrow because tomorrow never comes.

It's scary as hell but oh so worth it when you see the positives it brings!!!😍😍

A part of healing is letting your anger out.

Sitting on it isn't going to help you or anyone else for that matter.

So be with it, feel it, let it out..... safely of course 😉

Pound a pillow, scream it out loud!!! Release it all!!

You'll feel much better for it!!

We all feel anger and that's ok. We are allowed to feel anger, just dont let it sit and build up.... acknowledge that's how you feel and release it with love..

We shouldn't hide or shadow these feelings because they are apart of who they are...

To be our authentic selves we must embrace our whole being, the good, the bad, the ugly and the outrageously funny 😆

So with that being said, I too must be my authentic self. I need to embrace my whole self and stop giving a f**k about what people have to say.....

Love me or leave me... there are many pieces of me but those pieces make me whole and each one has a story to tell even the angry ones 😆😆

So here's to another piece reveal 😉😆😉😆👇👇👇

We go through many phases in life and at times we feel incomplete...

But like the moon we are whole... just going through phases in time where we uncover ourselves to place another piece in the puzzle of life.
