Hello Loves,
March, oh beautiful March!
In between the rain clouds, the sun has popped out from time to time in British Columbia. And as I sit on the couch from my new home, I stare out two side by side windows and watch the forest. Have you ever watched a forest before?
I’ve noticed this month that there is a family of crows hanging out in the same group of trees every day. They are silent then loud, and they swoop and fly from branch to branch. Once while I was outside, they flew to the top of my building and looked down at me as their talons clutched on to the gutter. Hi, I said. How are you? There are also hummingbirds, and chickadees, and robins. I’m known to stop to talk to birds, squirrels, racoons, dogs, cats, and any other creature that crosses my path.
I’m in awe that I get to watch this forest in every season. Right now the deciduous trees are growing their leaves. One day I will look outside and, POP, they will be out in their full neon green glory. And I heard from a neighbor that there is a creek down in the forest and that salmon swim up it. Are you kidding me?! Thank you beautiful planet. There’s no path down there, but you just know I’ll be meandering through that forest to find the perfect spot to sit and be by the water.
I’ve also been watching the sun and her movement. She shines her rays right through my bedroom blinds in the morning. Natures alarm clock. No sleeping in for me. Ha! By late morning she’s shining through my sliding glass door in my dining room. And by early afternoon, she is full bright light through my two living room windows. I luxuriate in this sun bath.
What I’ve not said, is that moving to a new home that I bought and own is exhausting, disorienting and a privilege. To unpack my many boxes of belongings is exhausting and a privilege. That having to buy new furniture is exhausting and a privilege. I feel overwhelmed, but I know that if I just take moments, minutes, or hours out of my day and watch the forest, I will be okay. It truly is all ok.
All is well in my world.
Everything is working out for my highest good.
Out of this situation only good will come.
I am safe.
Thank you Louise Hay
And thank you.
With love,
