But if you are reading this, you survived! And, if you are like most people we’ve encountered during the past couple years, you are a changed person.
While the unknown can be scary and cause anxiety, we are finding more and more people who feel awakened to new possibilities! A possibility of living life differently. Is it possible to live like our wise ancestors while still incorporating the conveniences of modern day?
We say YES – YES IT IS!
Janine and LeAnne began living differently a few years before the historic pandemic! It’s as if we were divinely inspired to put these practices into motion and create simple, yet profound, daily reflections and activities into action without realizing how crucial this way of honoring life would become for ourselves, our families, our friends, our community!
As businesses open back up, kids return to school, families begin traveling again, what are YOU feeling? Are you planning to go back to the rat race rushing from activity to activity only spending quality family time when it fits in? Or, do you have a new appreciation of the important things in life – quality time with family and friends doing the things you love – nourishing one another with the real sustenance – love, laughter, fun, true connection?
Did this unknown virus cause you to really look at your health and your lifestyle choices? Did you begin living more consciously about the vessel that holds your essence – your soul?
Will you move into this next chapter with a renewed zest for life?
This time was difficult for many people – change is rarely easy. Many had to work full time from home while also teaching academics to children of various ages. Some were isolated alone with very little human interaction. Most longed to hug their elderly parents, while those parents ached for that hug from their children. Some had to endure 8-, 10-, or 12-hour days double masked caring for the sick. Some faced financial crisis. And so many experienced the immense loss of a loved one!
But this unexpected time also presented us with many gifts! Children and adults alike are feeling a bond deeper than they had just a little over one year ago. The lonely elderly received welfare calls and visits regularly – something many had never received in the past. Many businesses trusted their employees to work flexible schedules while maintaining the same or greater productivity, and many are moving to this option for the future. Many businesses got creative and experienced new, different growth through unexpected ways. The air quality improved. Animals became more tame allowing up-close interactions never before experienced. Some children who typically struggled in the conventional school setting thrived with this different learning style. People got back into nature, where they were nourished by the trees, plants, lakes, and rivers and have vowed to maintain this connection – this ancient wisdom!
What will you do next? How will you move forward in life? The choice is yours like no other time in history. Let’s seize the day and live life with honor and connection transforming ourselves, our families, our planet!
We honour you!
