The newest Journeys of Life

March 21, 2018 (11:23PM)

So many things have happened since my last reflection. My entire world has changed, my ways of seeing myself and others around me has improved, I have watched my boys grow into little humans, and I have grown even more deeply in love with my husband and myself.

All of these changes have been because of 'teaching'....and I don't just mean in the classroom sense. I mean, I have been taught by some very specific people and I have been teaching myself. You see, this all started when I went to a 'dumb cleaning party' in September of 2016. I ended up getting this cloth that transformed my life...now it really hasn't been just the cloth that changed my life, it was what came with that cloth. Time. Time came with it, time for me to spend with my family, time for me to find myself, time for me to discover people, and time for me to embrace all of the teachings around me. ---okay so back to the teachings over the past (almost) 2 years.

I was taught how to make life easier by cleaning with just water and microfiber. I was taught to STOP trusting and believing everything on labels and start to research and really educate myself on what was in all of the things we are using in, around, and on our bodies....and trust me, this lesson was the hardest one to accept...because by accepting all of what I was finding, I started to find myself pissed. Pissed that we have systems in place to allow certain ingredients in product in the US that are banned in nearly every other country. Pissed that I felt duped by the world I had been living. 

I became a learner and a researcher again. which was the biggest opening in my world. It opened me to learn more than just these body burdens, but also to learn from my leaders (now friends) about myself. This little dumb magical unicorn hair cloth led me to a path of self love and discovery I had not even realized I was in need of until it began.
