I honestly feel like overall my life is so good and I have so much to be grateful for. Every day I am so in love with my husband and kids. We have our home and our health and our pets and friends and family that love us. I love my job and what I do- I love helping people. Every day is a balancing act and many days I'm always amazed I get done what I need to. I drop the ball on things but try not to beat myself up over it. I do a pretty good job at that too. I try not to stress about money or things too outside of my control. I'm not always great at that.
I have been carrying a lot of the extra child/house load while my husband finishes his PhD, and I kind of hit small wall with that this week. I act like an ant with taking on things, especially if I know it's temporary. Once again reminded I don't need to do it all, I have people that want to support me! I get into a headspace where I feel bad for asking, but am always learning that it's up to the other person to tell me what their limits are, I shouldn't assume.
July is bookended with vacations for me, both of which give me the opportunity to swim in large bodies of water which is my favorite activity in the world, so I am excited and full of energy!!

My resourcefulness and grit, the opportunities I’ve carved out for myself and those who have helped me along the way, having so many people who care for me and see me (including here on PI.FYI!), my local community of kind genuine people, my charming little neighborhood and the flora and fauna around me, the delicious food I get to eat every day, and my two angel babies!!

Even though I'm living a life-long struggle with IBD and have daily chronic pain, I consider myself to be a generally happy person and would say that I have a happy life.
I wanted to share some things that I sprinkle into my days that I believe help me feel the general sense that I have a happy life- not despite the pain, but pain included.
Life is FULL of wonderful things, as well as lots of horrible things.
The world is particularly heavy right now, but any time I can break up the day with any of the things I talk about in this video, my heart feels a little bit lighter and I have a little more energy to participate.
Ps there are time stamps and lots of links to other helpful things in the description of this vid on YT

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom.
The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust. The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back. This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out. The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy. I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.
The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow. I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more. The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think! The Fool does not fret about what if’s! The Fool is in the moment!

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
