bam! bam!

Well, I just took an unplanned almost 3 week break from blogging. I miss it! Connor came home from college for 3 days and then headed to Costa Rica for a 5 week exchange program and then a week of traveling. Family came into town to see Mason’s end of the year performance. (He and I are headed to LA for an audition on Friday and then to NYC with his studio for Nationals for 2 weeks.) My father was here for Father’s Day, which was a treat. And Gracie returned to sports last week after two weeks off from a mild concussion and then broke her arm on Sunday!

Bam! Bam! Two significant injuries during soccer games over a short period of time clearly indicating to the both of us that it is important for her to look at her feelings and beliefs around soccer to see how she is playing a part in creating/attracting injury to herself right now. We pulled out Louise Hay’s book Heal Your Body A-Z The Mental Causes for Physical Illness and the Way to Overcome Them, as well as Inna Segal’s book The Secret Language of Your Body The Essential Guide to Healing. I love, love, love these two books and often refer to them when either I or a family member is sick or injured. These books are a valuable reminder to me that my health is not solely impacted by the external, but is also compromised by negativity in my beliefs, thinking, and feelings about myself.

Grace and I had a meaningful discussion and sharing that was long overdue, culminating in a beneficial emotional release by her. The silver lining is that she has an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. Forced slowdown is not so bad either!

Hoping to have free internet in my hotel rooms over the next few weeks so that I can get back into the writing flow. Love to all.
