coming back around 🤍🌀

I came back to a home that stirred a lot of old wounds and memories for me a few weeks ago.

We have been staying here looking after the home and animals for the owners. 🐶

Three years ago, we broke up in this space – so much miscommunication, misunderstanding, wounding, toxicity, blindness and a lack of space to “lick our old wounds” from our past together.

We had taken space before, but it was never enough to actually break the unhealthy bond or do the individual work we both needed to do.

When we did finally separate, I moved out of this very space and had to start all over again.

We separated for a year and a half – but we’ve also been back together now for a year and a half also!

Being back in this space feels like another full circle moment! 🌀❤️🤍

Except this time, there is…

Better communication.

More curiosity to understand.

Deeper healing has happened.

Healthier ways have been established.

The rose coloured glasses were taken off.

And space, space to heal and mend, to sit with ourselves and digest first.

When we came back together… honestly… I had a bit of resistance, but I knew deep down that the work we had done had brought us back together, to take what we had learned, grown in and build the capacity for had been for this very moment in time. It was beautiful but also a time that required an extremely huge amount of space for healing and rupture repair – it was hard work, along with hard conversations, lots of feelings and lots of understanding of each other. 🤍💚

I am so immensely proud of us!!! ❤️🤍⭐

Not often do we get the chance to separate, heal deeper, center ourselves, take accountability and responsibility – unlearn and relearn new ways and then come back together to heal, build a stronger bond and continue to grow together – working as a strong unit, a stronger team and ultimately – a stronger partnership! ⭐

It makes me tear up just thinking about it all… 🥹🤍

What a blessing! 💚

A true gift. 💝

While being back here, we bravely took the opportunity to heal any lingering energies and have any conversations that needed to have to meet each other on equal ground – more rooted and stronger than we had been before.

In a few hours now, we will be cleaning and packing the rest of our things to leave here and settle back home in our place together. 👩‍❤️‍👨

When we spend the time to heal, reflect, have the hard conversations, learn new ways while undoing the old… It gives us so much more space in our lives to take in the moments of beauty, of love, and of peace and that gave me the opportunity to fully enjoy the puppy love, snuggles and moments we all got to share here. 🤍❤️

I didn’t feel stressed being here like I usually would.

I surrendered more.

I stayed in my center.

I made changes.

I chose better.

I am proud of myself for being able to put down what I was doing in each moment to be able to be with the animals when they came over to snuggle or play. 🥰

Something I am left with today on my cup is:

“The bonds we have are everlasting!”

As I heal, repair, grow and move on, I am able to take in so much more beautiful moments of life that truly nourish my soul – and for, I am forever grateful! 🤍💚

This experience has been exactly what I needed! 🤍

And I am grateful for every minute of it! ❤️❤️
