It's Break Time...

A lot has happened in my life in the past couple of years. I’d barely gotten through the loss of my Mom, Covid, a few fractured bones and surgery when my sister died quite tragically and suddenly. I dove myself into the creation of OWYAH, an active women’s community that I nurtured for a couple of years but an endeavour that, truthfully, didn’t yield the joy I wish to experience in life. Last fall, my relationship also ended abruptly in a heap of betrayal, which left me searching for a new living situation asap and moving 7 days later. In addition, I’ve been learning to adjust to a new diagnosis as a person with AuDHD and what that means, both to making sense of my past and looking to the present and future.

All to say, there’s been a lot on my plate and I’m in the process of clearing off anything that isn’t absolutely essential atm. Hence, I’m hitting the pause button on my Substack for the summer and getting back to simplicity, ease and the things that make me and my heart smile.

Like riding my bike. Hanging out with the people that I love. Spending my free time doing things that I enjoy. Waking up excited about the day. Going for ice cream. Sitting on a park bench. Enjoying a regulated nervous system and a mind free of distractions.

I feel like I got diverted these past couple of years by what others wanted me to do. Or who they wished me to be. I lost sight of myself and my own needs along the way.

The best way that I know to find my way back to my truth is to slow down, simplify and listen to what my heart is telling me. So, that’s my plan for the upcoming months….just listen to my heart and follow its’ advice.

I wish you a wonderful summer, filled with things that make you and your heart smile.

Will touch base in the fall,

Heather
