REPLAY: August Group Coaching - burnout, overwhelm & letting go
And I'm glad to be back in my garden!
When I sent out July’s group coaching replay, I mentioned I was about to head to cottage country, to get a ring designed from jewelry from my husband, including my wedding rings. Here’s the design. The purple stones will actually be close in colour to the blue-green alexandrite. When you receive this I’ll be one my way there again, to try on the 3D model and finalize the design. I can’t wait to see it!
We spent 2 weeks in the Republic of Georgia (not the state) in August, meeting with family and touring around the country. I’ll be sending out more postcards from our visit, even though we’re home now. Here’s what you might have missed:
It was a wonderful, fulfilling trip. And I’m glad to be home.
This is Canada, so it’s still summer vacation. School starts for my boys next week. My eldest is in his final year and will be applying to university. My middle son will be in Grade 10. And my baby starts Junior High (Grade 6). He’s in a Regional Program (a speciality program in arts and technology) and for the first time, Ontario is funding bussing for Grades 6-8 in Regional Programs.
I allowed him to accept the program he wanted, even though I had no idea how I was going to get him to the other side of the district. I had faith, even when I was failing to find car pool participants, and sure enough, the result was magic.
I am so deeply grateful.
I am also grateful to my young neighbour who tended my garden while I was in Georgia. Look at these gorgeous flowers – all from my garden!
