Challenging the deep shame of self-care

Posted on March 31, 2023May 3, 2023 by Translate Reality

When I initially learned about the concept of self-care, I felt very ambivalent about committing to something so staggeringly narcissistic, embarrassing and crazy. Taking care of myself? Just leave. Absolutely ridiculous. Let’s talk about challenging the shame of self-care and why we need to put our own oxygen mask on first. Shame Spiral I was…

Create your Best Life as an Advanced Talking Ape – Post Pandemic Planning

Who creates the world? Not the planet itself, but the fabric around it that we live in? The tiny space between atmosphere and sea level where our entire definition of life unfolds. Do we, the average and moderately powerful, middle class, Netflix-watching human beings actually create anything or are we victims of every outcome? Be…

COVID-19 – Coping like a Superhero

Posted on March 16, 2023May 3, 2023 by Translate Reality

Worry. There is no sense denying it. Our global consciousness right now is set to worry. My meditation teacher reminded us not to fall into fear.

My little baby is 8 years old today! She is my fav My little baby is 8 years old today!
She is my favourite person in the entire world.
She has the best sense of humour and is the cutest little being. She is brave. She is honest. She is incredibly empathetic. She teaches me things every day and she gives me something to smile about every single day. That’s one smile per day that I wouldn’t have without her. She is my main squeeze, my mini, my little tiny sparkle of joy.

I also can’t effing believe that I kept a human being alive for eight years  not eight months but eight goddamn years feeding her watering her the whole thing. Eight years guys. Yep.

Wishing for nothing more than more time with this little person. Sending her all the love on her eighth birthday and thank you from the bottom of my heart to the village that has helped me love and raise Mila. 🥰 They say it takes a village, and I am so grateful that I truly have one. You know who you are. Thank you.

8!!

Mila and I have been camping every summer since she was one. Yes, I camped with a baby. Unsure why. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Anyway, this year we parked the Boler and bought a seasonal site. Best decision ever.
Long beautiful nights with clear starry skies.
Happy days with friends. Not just bears….but humans. It’s amazing.
Happy dirty busy tired kid. Playing all day except when in need of food or sleep. Living like it used to be.  More free. A family of parents in the campground.
Biking. Kayaking. Adopting Toven. Watching Mila and Toven explore earth.
The trees. The robins. The slow changes.
Outdoor showers.
A community. A big big happy loving family of seasonal super campers. All the love.

Today is a day for suicide awareness. It is someth Today is a day for suicide awareness. It is something that needs space in conversation. We can’t be scared. Because we’re losing people to their suffering. Death from suffering happens all the time.
I had a teacher who died from his suffering and he told me one time, it is the suffering itself that wants to die. It’s not the person. The suffering is so profound that it wants to let go. Be done. Why wouldn’t it? Shouldn’t that suffering have a voice before it takes its life, along with the constellation of beauty that makes up a person?
I wrote a number of articles on my blog about death from suffering. I watched someone die in my arms. I lost friends, teachers, almost myself to death from suffering. It’s very hard to write about and speak about. But I’m doing it because if we don’t look directly at the most difficult parts of life, we won’t solve our most crucial problems. As I heard this week at the Future of Sport conference from an Elder, courage gives you the ability to make good change during the most difficult of circumstances.

A - I wish you peace every day. I remember your eyes.
J - I’m supporting the run and I still cry when I see your photo. Miss you, man.
M- you taught me a great deal in your life and your death. Thank you for your teachings.
J- I’m so sorry you had to leave. You had a community and somehow I hope you feel that connection still.

Me - I’m glad you made it, Nadia. You made a kid and a life! We’re going to stay. We’re. Going. To. Stay. We promise. Me and little me. We stayin’. 

❤️
So many people before me have fought this battle. So many people before me have fought this battle. So many people alongside me have fought this battle.

The mini is in grade 3! I cannot believe I made th The mini is in grade 3!
I cannot believe I made this tiny little person and now she is a full and whole human being with fashion style, incessant questions, and a hilariously wonderful personality. She’s my favourite little teammate in life.
I asked her what she was excited for her about school and she said her friends. I asked her what her favourite subject was that she would be going into and she said she was looking forward to talking to her friends in school. Then I asked her if she was going to join choir again and she said it depends what my friends do. Finally, I asked her to tell me one thing that she was excited about other than her friends, and so she went through her friends’ names one at a time.
it is safe to say her social life is primetime right now and I support that completely. #fashion #happiestpuppy #squeezytoy
What does prevention in sport look like? How can w What does prevention in sport look like? How can we protect against child maltreatment?

A child is not the canary. Sport needs a prevention-based system, not a response-based system.

In mining, they used to carry canaries underground: if toxic gas was present, the bird would die first, warning the miners. It’s a brutal system of warning.
Someone (or in this case, some child) has to suffer before others are protected. In a crisis, such as the sport crisis in Canada, we respond AND prevent. We make sure this crisis doesn’t continue occurring or occur again.
