My life 5 years ago was changed forever…Everything, absolutely everything, seemed to be flipped and torn away from me. I was in complete shock. Life was scary and I found myself taking care of everything. My own self-care practice was on complete hold. I stopped everything… yoga walking, eating right, sometimes forgetting to brush my teeth and shower…(this is the truth!!). I joined a group where I found comfort and support. A group that held me close and allowed me to completely come apart and slowly put me back together. This group was led by Sarah Brassard. We met in a quiet barn every month during the first long Cape Cod winter when Rick was home from rehab. I cried and learned to take some control of this trauma that just flipped my world. I began to slowly go inside myself and learn how to take care of myself so that I was present for my family and able to care for them in a safe and gentle way.
These practices of meditation became a part of my everyday life. My medicine if you will. You see, whether a traumatic event occurs in your life or a virus shuts life down as you know it, life happens, and by learning these self-care practices, you are more equipped to handle it and make sure your own well-being is first and foremost taken care of. Every month, for 8 months, we met and I learned how to bring self-care back into my life. From there I began working one on one with Sarah and eventually joined her Tribe Inside Self Healers community. A community of women who hold each other and learn from one another. My family would not have survived had I not taken the first step to join this group and show up in that Barn every month to learn how to take care of myself. Sarah’s Book is listed in my resource library. I highly encourage you to pick it up.
