Well, amazingly enough, already, here we are again.. ready to jump full swing back into the season of new growth, new possibilities..... As long as winter can seem, time in itself is so incredibly fast, that just blinking can make you miss so much......
On the farm and Reflexology front, I now have 2-3 events scheduled a month, I will be making a Thursday shift to Madeira's farm market, Fridays in Dayton, and Saturdays when I am not vending a big event, I will be back in West Chester. Planning is being finalized for our Lavender Festival, June 19th-20th. I am really excited about the amazing people I have connected with that will be a part of this event! We will finish up our season at the Renaissance festival, which the kids especially, are really looking forward to. My new website that focuses on my holistic work and what I am about is now up an running, www.kymprell.com.
I am blessed with so many wonderful people and connections....I received my level 1 Reiki training, and was trained in crystal energy work, which I now incorporate into my Reflexology sessions and into daily life. I have been working hard this winter on stocking up the many lavender goodies in anticipation for a busy season ahead.
I really can not wait to get back into the field of blooms. Breathing in the fresh aroma of lavender can not be compared to anything else in the world... it seeps deep into your soul and truly makes a lasting impression on your entire being. Not to mention the many berries that are thinking about coming into form right now.. getting ready to focus all of their vibration into becoming so juicy and delicious and ready to be picked, and the sweet-grass I will get to braid.......
As I look back at this fall.. and think about the leaves, when it is time, they just let go. They do it with such beauty, such amazing color and vibrancy they get to their fullest potential, become the most beautiful they can be, then one by one, they let go. Letting go is completely different than giving up... I see even more meaning than ever before in the cycles of the life around us. Not only does mother earth have a way of letting go of things that no longer serve, but a way to use those things to replenish other things, other energies, other new growth, and new possibilities.
There is such a strong pull going on right now. I know it has been working it's way to this point for a long time, but more than ever, we are being asking for some major changes and shifts. Just like the leaves falling to the ground, I am able to look back at so many things that have worked their way into this journey, this earth-walk for me, and see the importance of fully experiencing every one of them. This full moon in Libra, today, and the way the planets are aligned, is another needed step of this change, this growth. Conflict, and being "knocked off our feet" is just another lesson that we need to feel and grow with. Have your conflict, feel very defeated, and jump back up again. See your mistakes, and know you can not rewind time. Only that you must see things are for what they truly are, and learn from them. Do the best you can do next time at not making the same mistake. If it wasn't your mistake to learn from, learn compassion (and learn it for yourself) , because that is what truly keeps this existence flowing.. no one is perfect.
It has taken me a really long journey my whole life of lessons, of compassion, of the hard times, of the good times, and of seeing the beauty and true blessings in everything, to get to where I am now. It is an amazing feeling to look back at the extremely fast spin of life and know my place here. That place is not about me at all, but about what small steps I can take to truly leave a footprint for the many generations that will come after me... There is such an important need for us to let go, to flow with what we truly feel in our hearts, and not listen so much to the confusion that peaks its way into our mind...
There are so many changes that are needed, and I feel the need to truly let go of everything I have been clinging to for so long. The universe can not do the movement, and the work it needs to in your life if you are holding on too tightly. Being open for change can bring about a new world of beautiful things...
If my mind frame seems way off from where you are, we are all on our own path here. No one else can learn our lessons for us or make us into the person we are destined to become. Our kids are on their own paths, our parents, our soul mates in this life.... I do not believe in coincidences and I do not believe that anyone does not have a place here. I do believe we choose our life for the lessons we want to learn, and how clear the path we have made becomes behind us so that only beauty and light can be felt behind us. There is such an abundance of amazing universal love and light energy, we just need to be open to receiving it, and sending it outward to those who need it around us. .
Something that has truly helped me is making a list, every day, once a week, as often as you can, of the things your life is blessed with at that moment. Some days I can not stop...... simple things to the biggest blessings in your life..... for the land and the thriving crops... for the hawk who has blessed me all winter and hatched her babies right in the woods.. for the family of deer who pass by almost every day, and wait on the three legged baby to catch up.. my kids smiles, dimples, their humor, my husband who is amazing in so many ways.... the smell of the grass turning green, the smell of the dirt........
Try it, make it a practice.......
If you ever need a place to escape, this farm is very magical and very soothing... we are open for roamers anytime you feel the need!
