Many people are struggling physically, mentally, and spiritually.
In 2020, life as we knew it changed across the world with Covid.
I'm a people watcher. An observer, if you will. During that time and beyond, I've witnessed how people have changed, and not in a good way. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying Covid caused people to change, but I do think it was a catalyst to an already unstable society - and I am also NOT saying all people are 'bad'.
In fact, I am not saying people are bad at all - what I am saying is -- people are suffering.
I personally was struggling, and I have days that I still do struggle. Which is OK! It's OK to not be OK all the time. This is human.
However, people act very erratic when they are stressed to the max for months on end, and add fear to that mix and you get a not-so-great concoction.
More and more people struggle daily with their mental health and division in the world is probably the highest I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Communities are disintegrating, and people are growing increasingly hostile to one another.
Don't believe me? Examine your local community's Facebook groups, as well as social media in general. It's disgusting.
We all have issues within us we are dealing with. We need to start showing kindness to one another. Understanding. We all need to work together. To unite. Now is the time to check on your neighbors, your friends and family. Now is the time to show compassion.
To show love, patience and understanding.
To show empathy.
Now is the time to care for everything on this planet. We must all do things to begin healing on all levels.
Keep a compassionate heart. Remain calm. Think before you speak. We need to learn to understand one another better so that we can help heal each other. Especially during difficult times. Understanding without judgement is critical now more than ever.
I am not a very religious person. But I am a spiritual person. I believe everything on this planet has an energy…a life force...a soul. When the mind and body are nurtured and cared for, the energy (spirit/soul whatever you want to call it) is empowered to grow and heal on a higher level.
When this happens, we will vibrate on a much higher energy level and frequency. All things will be perceived as more enjoyable and pleasant.
YOU have the power to heal yourself, and you need to know that. Often, we think we are helpless, and we are not. We always have the power to claim our own minds and consciously harness that power for good things.
We all have some healing to do. We need to keep the lines of communication open and with kindness.
Healing takes courage and strength. Healing involves letting go of the ego. Healing involves letting go of the need to always be right. Healing involves letting go of anger and negative energies.
The energy (spirit/soul) always knows how to heal itself, the biggest challenge is quieting the mind and the ego.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to begin…. take 5 minutes and listen/watch this video. I promise you’ll feel better. Practice it daily. Do it several times in one day. When you feel like the world is spiraling out of control…take a moment and breathe.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not imagine, not wonder or obsess. You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to take a moment and breathe, let go and trust the process.
Give yourself permission to just be. If we want to start healing the world, it must begin within you.

I hope you like the video/mantra I made. I made it during the peak of Covid to assist folks and felt I should make it resurface it today as the message/meaning is still relevant today. 🥰
Much love....
