Meandering your way through moments of peace
It’s 6am on Wednesday and I am woken up by the Spotify playlist Backyard Vibes I set as my alarm. Country artist Darius Rucker is singing to me about sunshine as I write down the channeled messages I received last night and rise for the day. Half asleep but looking forward to the day ahead, a fluffy cat circles my feet as I brush my teeth and get dressed. My fiancé Daniel always rises with me to give me a kiss and a hug at the front door before I leave for the day. I take one last glance at my kitty baby and my Daniel from the doorway before heading off to work.
"...I trust the universe will lead me through the day like a feather blowing in the breeze."
It's noon and I've finished work for the day! As I step into the afternoon sun, I let its light melt away any stresses I may have accumulated throughout the morning as I excitedly pop back into the car and move on to the next thing. Since it’s Wednesday, you know what that means, FARMERS MARKET! As I listen to a musician in a hat strum their guitar and sing about life, I let the music guide my path as I intuitively weave myself though the tents of fresh local produce. With my reusable produce bags and cotton tote bags on hand, I release any expectations and spontaneously pick up whatever looks good that day.
Windows down, sunroof open, and Boston is rocking out to that feelin’, I ride home excited to see my little family once again. I come home and Daniel, who works from home, is spotted having a secret cuddle with the fur baby Milo. As I unpack the fresh fruits and veggies, I’m greeted with a hug and a kiss and a cat weaving between my legs once again.
Since it’s so beautiful outside today, Daniel decides to grab my hand and a couple popsicles and go for a little walk. After walking through the neighbourhood sharing ideas about what our future with kids, a dog, and a big house looks like, we end up at the river in the forest right by our home. We go to our favourite part of the river where the trees are their tallest and the river rocks are their smoothest. Ankle deep in fresh water we skip rocks watching the ripples expand infinitely outwards.
The rest of my day is quite simple. While Dan finishes work, I may work on whatever spirit guides me to complete for Backyard Wellness, be it editing photos for the next blog or water colouring gnomes for our latest Backyard Wellness project. After we have dinner, I spend the rest of my afternoon, evening and night with two fluffy white paws in my face. It’s finally time for Milo and me to have some nice cuddles!
Once I fall asleep, I surrender my consciousness to the universe and trust that dreams and channeled messages will filter into my night. Sometimes I wake up with songs and messages that guide my actions the next day. Other times I wake up with two fluffy paws (and sometimes claws) still in my face. Either way, I trust the universe will lead me through the day like a feather blowing in the breeze. You may not always have a plan for yourself, but if you let the joy in your heart lead you from one activity to the next, that's all the structure you need.
