Where To Find Inspiration (When You’re Not Feeling Inspired)​
Navigating our way through a pandemic, mourning the loss of a loved one, and staying inspired when everything feels upside down can be a challenge. Here's an article we stumbled across with some great ways to GET INSPIRED...
  • 1 Peruse through Instagram
  • 2 Listen to Podcasts
  • 3 Pinterest for great ideas
  • 4 Pickup a good book
  • 5 TED Talks or YouTube 
  • 6 Talk with someone
  • 7 Get some sleep
The most important thing to remember when you’re not feeling inspired is that it’s okay; no one is inspired 24/7. Be kind to yourself, give it time. It will all work out in the end!

​The holidays can be difficult after the death of a loved one. Though we often think of major holidays as being the most difficult, we shouldn’t underestimate the potential impact of traditions and grief triggers surrounding days like Halloween. If Halloween is proving to be especially difficult for you this year, schedule a little extra self-care time throughout the month.

Tips for Grieving through Covid-19

Grieving is hard. Grieving while also living with the impact of a global health crisis is even harder. During this time of required isolation, many grievers are separated from their usual forms of emotional support. During this uncertain time, people who are grieving may experience a resurgence of intense grief. Higher levels of anxiety, the resurgence or introduction of depression, low levels of energy, and a sharp increase in the missing of their person are common as grievers navigate the current challenges. Please see "Grievers' Tips for Self-Care through Covid-19" from Soaring Sprits International: https://soaringspirits.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/SSI-COVID-19-Tips.pdf

“Grief never ends…
But it changes.

It’s a passage,
not a place to stay.

Grief is not a sign of weakness,
nor a lack of faith…

It is the price of love.”

A New Year, a New decade. Make the most of your horizons ahead by being open to possibilities. Say "Yes" to opportunity more than "no." Nurture wanderlust, embracing travel and its transformative magic. See how far 2020 can take you. Or, rather, decide how far you WILL take 2020 and beyond. "Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year... It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come. Goals give us direction.

​Remind yourself every Day:
"I am in charge of my happiness. I will not let anything outsideof myself control me. I am creating a life that feels good on the inside and it will turn into experiences that are good on the outside."

Before your head hits the pillow tonight, remind yourself of the things you did right. Let go of the things you could have done better. Be patient with yourself, and remember that big things are achieved not all at once, but rather one day at a time.

"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it,—but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."

“Some things cannot be fixed; they can only be carried. Grief like yours, love like yours, can only be carried.

Survival in grief, even eventually building a new life alongside grief, comes with the willingness to bear witness, both to yourself and to the others who find themselves inside this life they didn’t see coming. Together, we create real hope for ourselves, and for one another. We need each other to survive...”

🍀​​Irish Proverb ~ There are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be. May your day be touched with a bit of Irish luck, Brightened by a song in your heart, And warmed by smiles from the people you love.

Pain Sculpts Us

Grief changes us
The pain sculpts us
Into someone who
Understands more deeply
Hurts more often
Appreciates more quickly
Cries more easily
Hopes more desperately
Loves more openly.
