You know? I've been thinking a lot about nothing lately. I haven't been great with planning these blogs or posts for my social media. To be honest, I feel like I've been chasing my tail lately between all my projects- both for Rooted in my Strength and my home life. In the mix for added spice are my mental health struggles. I don't know where this came from, but I've recently turned some corner I didn't know existed. I suddenly feel more balanced ( most of the time), I've been able to start and juggle more projects without running out of motivation, I feel more confident in my decisions about Rooted in my Strength both present and future. I don't know what changed!
Now, I do my best to be fully honest with you, dear reader. Doing what I do I feel it is so important you feel you can trust me. I have no idea what I did. I have not changed much in my daily routine. I go to therapy once a week, I take care of my sweet little girl, and I dream up a million plans for the future. I have recently started doing yoga as often as possible, I've found yoga increases my mobility and my mood during colder months. I did make a small change in my diet. I expect to release even more exciting news soon about a few projects. But can these very small, admittedly inconsistent changes be enough to cause such an impact?
The colder months have always been challenging for me. And even more so after tragically losing my father in 2012. The lightness I feel right now is a feeling I would have killed for back then. And I have no idea how to keep it going. And I'm a little apprehensive about when this mysterious light goes away. Don't get me wrong, I will definitely be enjoying every possible moment while this mystery is around. I have gotten so much done! I have finally released two new gift baskets on my Etsy, I am developing a lotion blend, and I have other projects I expect to be announcing in the new year.
I do try to have some kind of message or resource in these blogs. I suppose I could be corny and say it does get better. Whatever struggle you are walking through, you will come out the other side. That any progress is positive progress and the things that feel like failures are actually lessons in disguise. Take your pick!
I will close with this: my prayer for you is that you will find peace, you will find joy and whatever it is you are struggling with will end in positivity; that you will always remember you are loved, worthy, valued and valuable.
Let's all have a happy week.
Peace to you,
Willow R.
Owner, Rooted in my Strength
