Hidden grooves

Monday mornings are usually rough to get started. It's the beginning of a new week and if it's anything like last week, you know what challenges are waiting for you to face and it sucks. Why can't we just stay in bed and hit the snooze button for 5 more minutes? This feeling is common for a lot of people, you're not alone. Today, however, I feel like a new woman. I also haven't heard an alarm clock in years, I'm up at 6 or 7am at the latest, but I was trying to connect :)

This Monday morning, I feel like I could take on the world. Even with these disabling chronic pain conditions, I am still me. I still kick ass. Maybe not literally anymore, but mentally I am ready.

The weekend was filled with a roller coaster of emotions. Without proper control of my emotions (Thanks CRPS for controlling all of my nerves), I had to keep myself busy. So I did. I cleaned most of my house and organized more on this incredible project with my Soul Sister.

I have always been a spiritual person. I have an odd connection with the Universe that I have never been able to explain, but have been extremely grateful for. I'm also an incredibly complex person. I used to say that I was a 'Complex Cookie' until I was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome-CRPS. Then I found it hard to be cute with that word. CRPS took over my life and spirituality for awhile. My spirituality was always there, but on the 'back burner' in my mind.

Until I connected with my Soul Sister. A woman who lives in BC who I never would have connected with unless I had this damn CRPS. She has it too. She's another, what I would call 'Complex Cookie' and she is also incredibly spiritually connected. It has been overwhelmingly refreshing. We have been working on an incredible project for months now and are almost ready to release it to the world. November 15th <3

Yesterday was my healing session and I believe it is why I feel so refreshed this morning. It is quite surprising what can happen when you literally put your mind to it. My healer was incredibly talented and was able to pull things that were completely unexpected. A beautiful experience that was much needed.

On that positive note, I do have to get ready for an attempt at a full shift for work and then a productive afternoon of projects and possibly pumpkin carving with my left hand :)

Wish me luck!

Make today a great day with positive thinking and be kind to your mind everyone.

Positive thoughts,
