sometimes I go for days, sometimes even weeks before I realize that I am feeling completely empty. This happens when I forget to take the time to connect to the things that are important to me.
I get busy... busy with just being... busy with life... busy with all the busyness that surrounds this family and I forget to breath.
then I realize that I am an empty, walking around shell and it scares the hell out of me
or I feel something tugging at my heart to WAKE UP, pay attention, be present.. breath, Aola, breath... take in long, hard draughts of air
go for a walk, sit in your circle, actually take time to walk with Zoe and let her lead.
Lately, I've had the feeling like I and everyone around me have been in some terrible rush.... we have been really busy but it seems to be affecting everything in our lives. We go out to eat and we hurry, hurry, hurry through the meal and get gone (and yes, last night, we did need to get Levi back to his job) I keep having that nagging feeling ... you know the one...where something just doesn't feel "right"?? Yeah, that feeling.
It's my heart and soul telling my stupid head (that's me - ol' stupid head) to slow down.. nothing is that damn important.
So, here is a reminder, firstly to me, and to you too to not let life trip you up... take time to breath and enjoy what is happening right now, right this moment in your life because it is an important moment and you don't wanna miss it!!!
love you all

Moments before reading this I was holding Hayden and that same small voice said to me "hold on to this. Enjoy this. Remember this." I pulled him close and breathed in the sweet sun screen and earthy scent of him and grounded myself in the moment.
Last night as I lay in bed the same sort of message played in my heart as I tossed and turned. Slow down and enjoy is what I heard.
you are a rare bird, sweet Sandy, young, young children, busy life and you still get it!!!!
