What to Expect in June 🪷
Caring for Yourself and For Each Other
Hi There!
Welcome to Pathways of Connection: Fostering Curiosity and Connection Through Journaling, Dream Guidance, and Storytelling.
Read Here to learn more about me and how we can connect.
My theme for June is CARE.
The care we show to ourselves is reflected in the care we show for others.
Caring for You.
Being in Joy.
Being Present.
I’ve always thought I’d taken good care of myself until I cared for my son when he was diagnosed with leukemia. I left my job and dedicated myself 110% to his health. The depth of that care and losing him started this downhill spiral of supporting others before myself.
I would have done it for my son all again.
But now caring for my aging mom, I see that I could have cared for myself AND my son. Would it have made a difference in the decisions we made? I don’t know. Did I know how to care for myself while fearing for my child’s life? Absolutely not.
Not truly caring for myself over the last 17 years has severely impacted my health.
Now, over the past two years, I’ve learned to be a caregiver to my mom, as well as tending to myself. It’s a journey that will probably be lifelong, and I look forward to sharing more with you.
This gives you an idea of what I’ll be offering this month, as well as how showing ourselves love can also be FUN!
There are multiple articles to look forward to. If you’re a subscriber, you’ll receive these in your email.
Articles are free with an audio option. I’ll be adding a paid-only component in July to have access to my memoir-in-progress. If you’re interested in getting in at a fabulous price of only $25 for the year, subscribe before the end of June.
