It’s been a while since I’ve used the blog, so I kinda feel like I should give you guys an update.
Carer
I had to step back from my business because of my dad’s deteriorating health. He’s still with us, and has good days and not so good days. He’s losing weight and has a very small appetite. We’re keeping him out of hospital with the support of his GP, and have loads of support from the community nursing team. We don’t know how much time dad has left, so we just work on a day by day basis.
We’ve had some respite and are now on a list for regular respite when we need it. We’re entitled to something like one week per quarter.
Homeschooling mum.
With my son, we pulled him from school last year, as he was spending so much time avoiding it, and doing so little work when he was there, we kind of felt that we could do no worse! We have focused on helping my little one learn to read confidently. As a person with dyslexia, he has struggled at school. At home there is less pressure and many different opportunities to learn. His reading level has improved significantly, although it sometimes feels that it’s at the cost of other subjects. However, without this foundation, he will not progress.
I don’t get much personal time, and weekends is usually time to catch up on sleep.
Personal development
As you can imagine, I don’t get much me time, but I have set myself some goals for this year, and I’ve booked myself in one some e-courses and one day courses on a Saturday. My focus has been on addressing my issues around feeling like an impostor, whilst learning about self-healing with Reiki, meditation, crystal healing and using angel cards.
I’m currently working towards becoming an Archangel Practitioner. This will allow me to provide angelic healing as well as Reiki. I will also be able to do angel card readings and teach people how to create their own angel altar.
I’ve also enrolled on courses for:
- crystal healing
- EFT – emotional freedom technique or tapping
- meditation teacher training
My hope is that when I’m ready to return to being a Life Coach, I can bring my holistic skills in to support my clients as they tackle their own issues around the impostor-syndrome and self-sabotage. In the meantime, I’m going to write about the different archangels, the different crystals and their uses, and open a shop on the site to supply items and gifts that relate to this practice, for example crystals, angel wish jars and guardian angel boxes.
I hope you bare with my as I continue my journey. I’ll be rebuilding this website to reflect the business I want to develop in the background. There will still be lots of resources but many will be part of my archive.
Take care for now
