March on…

My late grandfathers advise is truly being tested. “ life is a tricky thing but you gotta keep it going”. We are. We will. I have no doubt of that.

and, I will forever be a place to aid and support your health. And, BEing YOU. For exactly who YOU were born to be, so you too can Shine.

And, foof.

Foof is a saying many say growing up in Hawaii. I LOVE it. As I LOVE all F words, but keep it PG as needed, Foof is a great way to include a PG F word. But also I learned from my friend at our prayer circle last Monday that it also does indeed mean good things too. FOOOOOOF! in good awe and joy too.

I feel like 2026 in our country is very Foofie. No way around it. I feel like God has a flood light on our world to expose allllll the lies and darkness hidden. And FOOF, it’s a LOT. And, there would be NO darkness with out light. And, the truth will certainly set us free.

Here are some things that are helping me keep on keeping on

What I am doing to keep March-ing on:

talking to friends A LOT - out loud processing. get it OUT of my body and share with like minded loved ones.

teaching myself how to do pull ups. on the days I do not teach, I still gotta move my body. MOVE yo self! We need ot get it OUT of our cells, our tissues, our muscles. walk, stretch, take a class. and for me, doing something that takes all of my might to even just learn HOW to do.

making stuff. Naila has like 3 projects going at any one time. “Little messes everywhere” is the title of a blog I am writing about her. it’s inspiring. so I join her and Daysha who has been loving to sew lately, in making things too. crocheting and painting small little things has been my fav. while always always writing. any where, all the time.

Learning. Schooling complete with deadlines for the testing required to receive my certifications so I stay on task. yanks me to have to do a little bit,  or a lot bit almost daily. I LOVE it. it’s inspiring what is being called to create next and gives me more wisdom in my most favorite subject: health, healing and plants. and! duolingo for Spanish to FINALLY master.

sleep. honoring that all of this makes me more tired. when I fight that I feel sick. my symptoms from my stomach issues or from peri menopause return. so I just cave in. I get more sleep. I rest more often. that is what my 52 year old body needs. i used to run around a lot more, but my kids require a lot more these days, so maybe it’s that? or maybe i just do love more stillness. but also I do love sleep and rest. It means a lot of less. It means I am pretty cautious with my planning. But it also means I feel a whole lot better.

new am/pm rituals going really slow. taking my time waking and putting myself to sleep. light a candle, apply oils over heart. turn on the diffuser. looking outside. taking 3 deep breaths. in silence. me with me. in prayer in am, in noticing in pm. another form of my most favorite resistance. taking our hand back from the demands of the home or the day and placing it over our own hearts. love others as you love yourself. how do we truly love ourselves? like this. the am’s are really hard. I have public school kids. but try and do every day.  or try again the next day.

What ever you choose, may it help you keep going. We need YOU! Body Mind and Spirit. If you are at a loss I say follow your body. The symptoms, the issues arriving. Cater to them, get some care for them. Perhaps that is a perfect way to honor what is by simply taking care of YOU and what is here.

Another simple step is to slow down. this world goes so so fast. Do less, slow down. Breathe. Ahhhhhhh. And, there you are. :) enJOY the very simple things. Like the clouds and the wind. It IS that simple, and often where i hear answers too.

My love and light ~ to YOU. keep on keeping on, and reach out for help
