The generations to come...

Today I sit in deep gratitude for all that life has presented so that I can impart some of the wisdom that I have gained. It is my hope that this will be carried forward to the future generations. My precious sons have been birthed through a mother who has transmuted some of her deepest pain into love and wisdom. She still has a long way to go, so much more to heal – a lifetime of continuous learning.

These are the things that my heart aches for them to know, deep within their beings. Things that I will share from my soul to his in those precious moments of nurturing and loving all that they are.

Dearest Kai and Elias, my sacred children. These are my teachings for you. I know there will be many more and more importantly, that you will teach me more than I could have every imagined. This is only the beginning…

1. Trust in your heart’s wisdom and intuition. You always know what is best for you and have this amazing divine, inherent knowing within you. Respect that others also know what is best for them. That *gut* feeling that you get? Those butterflies in your stomach? That fluttering in your heart? Go with it and you will live an authentic life.

2. Look within.  Remember that when someone hurts you, triggers or upsets you that it is a perfect opportunity for you to look at yourself. There will be many mirrors for you to gaze into in your life. People will reflect to you what needs to be healed in you. They will also reflect your beauty and magnificence. Take notice. Heal what needs to be healed and you will save yourself much heartache.

3. Follow the Seven Grandfather Teachings of our people and you will never go wrong. Wisdom, Respect, Love, Humility, Bravery, Honesty and Truth. Know that the animals, the trees, the water, the earth are just as precious as you are. Treat them as such. I will never enforce any religion in our home. However, I will teach you to to walk the ways of our people with these teachings as I feel that they are universal and can apply to all.

4. You are perfect in your imperfections. You are always loveable and divine. Every single day of your life, you are as perfect as the day you were born. Precious, whole, sparkling perfection. This is who you are. Never forget it.

5. You are one with creation, a magical being. You have all of the power within *you* to manifest all of your dreams and visions. Abundance surrounds you everywhere and is available to you, always. Your mother believes that gratitude is the gateway to abundance. Be authentically grateful and your life will be so very blessed.

6. Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself. It is all knowing, all powerful. Your mommy has seen miraculous things happen when people remember this. You will see the magic when you cut yourself for the first time and it heals within days. All of your organs, tissues, joints, muscles and systems work the exact same way. All they need are gentle reminders.

7. “In the end, only kindness matters…” Jewel said it best. Be kind. See kindness in the world, let it open and touch your heart daily and the world will reflect all of this kindness back to you.

8. Always do you best and know that every day, your best changes. When you make mistakes (and you will…your mama has made lots!), forgive yourself, be gentle on yourself and know that you will learn great things from these situations and that you are beautifully human.

9. It’s okay to disappoint others.  Never abandon your own self. Others will be disappointed based on their own expectations of you. Their own attachments. Let that go, honour yourself and know that you did not disappoint the most important person. You.

10. Every thought you think, every word you speak, every energy that you expose yourself to matters. Choose wisely. We are all energy and vibration. Be conscious of this. Speak your truth. Respect other’s truth. Think positively. Create healed outcomes. Continue to see the world through your beautiful child eyes. And dream. Dream your heart’s biggest, most magical wishes into being. Because it is *all* possible. Mommy has seen it. She lives it… in the creation of you.
