Unbreakable: Love, Lessons & The Circle of Trust...

Hey Beautiful Soul,
As this month winds down, I’ve been reflecting on some of life’s most intricate, powerful, and sacred bonds — those between Mother, Father, and Daughter.
The Bond Beyond Blood
My Pop’s isn’t my father by genetics, but by love — and by years of unwavering connection. He entered my life when I was six years old. I still remember our first interaction: me trying to raise the seat on my purple Schwinn 10-speed, and him stepping in to help. From that moment, he became a steady presence — always in the background, always supporting my Mum in ensuring my heart’s desires were within reach.
He taught me how to drive a stick shift well before I had a license — preparing me to cruise in my very own candy-apple-red Renault Encore at sixteen. When I left for Grand Valley, my ego said, “I’m never moving back.” And yet, life has a way of humbling and healing us.
Years later, he walked me down the aisle, became the best Granddad to my children, and cared for my daughter when I was in a season of breaking, healing, and finding my voice beyond wife and mother. Through him — and my Mum — I’ve witnessed what unconditional love truly looks like: no judgment, no conditions, just space held for me to cocoon and bloom.
Then, on July 8th, came The Big One — the call from my Mum that changed everything. An emergency surgery following a massive stroke — a moment that shook us all. Yet through this, our bond continues to deepen. My monthly trips to Naples to care for my parents have become sacred time — filled with tough love, laughter, grace, and truth.
Our small circle of trust continues to be nourished — becoming even stronger.
What I now know in my soul is this: the big one wasn’t just a medical event. It was a divine invitation to realign, reconnect, and remember that love — real love — is unbreakable.
Energy, Boundaries & Awareness
As I’ve evolved, I’ve grown increasingly aware of how low-vibrational energy can weave its way into even the most sacred relationships — how others, knowingly or not, project their unhealed pain into spaces they were never meant to occupy.
But healing sharpens discernment. Evolving strengthens peace. And love — love teaches us to protect what’s sacred.
Not everyone can hold the depth of your heart, Beautiful Soul.And that’s okay.
Because unconditional love means accepting others as they are, while still choosing peace and protecting your energy. That awareness… that compassion… keeps the bond unbreakable.
Lessons & The Power of Pause
There’s a phrase I’ve used for years — “Blame it on my mind, not my heart.” Recently, it came back around in a way that reminded me how easily words can wound or heal depending on the energy behind them.
These days, I’m intentional about the energy I speak from. I understand the power and ripple of my words, and I choose to engage from balance — not reaction.
Still, I’ve found myself in moments wishing others had that same self-awareness. But here’s the truth: most people are simply doing their best from where they are. And because I know that, I respond with grace — even when grace looks like limited access to my energy.
I no longer let what was overshadow what is. I am not who I was — I am the beautiful evolution of every experience I’ve had: good, bad, ugly, and everything in between. God continues to lovingly etch away at what no longer serves me.
As someone with Emotional Authority, I’ve learned the sacred importance of the Pause. Before responding, before deciding, before engaging — I breathe, feel, and wait for clarity.
It’s a practice anchored in The 4 Agreements, the 5 Reiki Principles, and The 3-PAUSE Self-Check-In from The Audacity To BE.
It’s in that Pause that I find peace — and that peace protects my purpose.
🪬 Reiki Practice: Sealing the Circle of Trust 🪬
Because awareness means little without aligned action, I invite you to anchor this reflection in a simple Reiki practice to restore balance within your own sacred circles.
Find a calm, quiet space:
Place your right hand over your heart and your left over your solar plexus.
Inhale for 4, pause for 4, exhale for 6.
Visualize a soft pink light (love) merging with a golden light (divine protection).
See that light surrounding you and your sacred relationships — forming a circle of unconditional love and understanding.
Repeat silently or aloud:
Our bond is sacred.
Our love is unbreakable.
Only love flows between us.
Stay here for a few breaths, allowing peace to settle in your heart.

Journaling Prompts
🖊️ Where in my life am I being called to strengthen boundaries while keeping love at the center?
🖊️ How can I hold compassion for another’s limitations without compromising my peace?
🖊️ What does unconditional love look and feel like beyond roles, expectations, or titles?
🌿🌿🌿
Beautiful Soul, Healing the bonds between parent and child isn’t about fixing what was broken — it’s about remembering what was always whole.
We are Mother and Daughter.
Father and Daughter.
But also three souls walking our individual paths of becoming.
When we honor that truth, our love doesn’t just survive…It evolves.
Unbreakable.Unshakable.Unconditional.
With Grace & Gratitude,
