“Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems.” ~ Gever Tulley
I was intending to blog yesterday, and then I couldn’t.
Early on Monday morning I was strapped into a heart monitor and holder for twenty-four hours, and while I was wired I had to stay away from my cell phone, computers and major electrical devices.
I’m okay. Please don’t worry. Over time lyme and other infections have damaged my heart, and after a recent episode of tachycardia and a few miss-beats one of my doctors thought it prudent to investigate a little further. For me that’s pretty much business as usual. There are always background things going on with my health, I just don’t focus on them or talk about them very much.
Two things I am grateful for in this ongoing saga that is my health:
- All of the hardship in my life has made me resilient. I know that whatever happens in life I can cope, adapt, manage, and in many cases thrive anyway.
- Meditation is my rock, and one of the major factors in me managing my day-to-day circumstances with grace and ease. (Mostly. Some days are still tears and bother!)
I had a lovely time offline. My Spiritual Awakening Retreat starts next Tuesday, so I put together the bags for the participants, undid my latest crystal grid in the back yard and washed the stones and allocated them for my students, assembled the materials for some of the spiritual tools we’ll make for our personal toolkits and baked up a storm in the kitchen – trialling recipes for Easter.
I’ve discovered that as long as you can manage pain (medications and meditation are great for this, or counselling and meditation if your pain is emotional) you can cope with and adapt to just about anything.
No matter what’s going on for you right now, know that you can do this. You can manage, you can cope, you can get through, you can find a way. I believe in you and in your own enduring resilience and spirit.
Sending you wind for your wings, and very big hugs, Nicole❤ xx
Best strength to you Nicole may you gradually find your embodiment transformed! Bless
Wishing you good health & happiness. Glad to hear you are not ill & hope the investigations yield nothing serious going on the background. Thank you for your powerful words from the heart. <3
Dearest Nicole,
Whatever you said in regard with pain, I agree completely. If its emotional, a lot can be managed by meditation, that’s also true. I don’t and can’t complain to you about my trials, not when you have seen it all and handled it all. So thank you for being our pillar of strength. Wish you much more resilience and strength of spirit.
Lots of hugs and love…
I need your resilience and positive attitude. Sending you lots of love. Rita XXX
I so admire your attitude and resilience. Much love and a big hug to you!
Thank you my sweet treasured friend…X
Bless you and thank you for your words from the heart, they reach me and encourage me.xx
Investigations are good when things are not as they should be
