August… you have been quite the month. 🤍
If I’m honest, this month has felt like one very long emotional roller coaster, with so much of it dominated by our beautiful Indie and an ongoing situation that we are still trying to get to the bottom of.
Those of you who know Indie will know our lovable, soppy, incredibly needy girl… and I genuinely wouldn’t change that little character of hers for the world. 🐾🤍
But lately she has become quite withdrawn and, I don’t mind admitting, there have been moments where I’ve felt completely at a loss. Watching her not quite being herself has been incredibly hard, and my heart has broken more than once along this journey.
Bless her, she is still sporting her nappies; we’ve been backwards and forwards with what we thought was an ongoing UTI, more antibiotics, endless conversations and appointments… and now it looks as though we will be heading down the route of further investigation with her mouth, dental X-rays and potentially a CT scan. The original dental work she had: 4 teeth removed 😪
I’m just hoping with everything crossed that somewhere very soon there is a light at the end of this tunnel and we get our soppy, sociable Indie back. 🤞🐶✨
So yes… August has certainly carried its fair share of worry, tears and emotional exhaustion.
But amongst all of that, there have also been some beautiful reminders of the good that continues to surround me.
Wonderful souls have continued to walk through the doors of Angelic Holistics, trusting me to hold space for them, support them and be a small part of their own wellbeing journey. That is something I never take for granted.
I’ve also had the absolute pleasure of training more wonderful students this month, watching their confidence grow and then sending them out into the world to spread a little more of the magic that is holistic therapy. 🌿✨
And perhaps that has been August’s reminder to me…
Life doesn’t always arrive neatly wrapped.
There can be worry alongside gratitude.
Sadness alongside beautiful moments.
Uncertainty alongside purpose.
Sometimes we simply have to hold space for all of it.
So as August closes, I’m gently stepping into September with hope in my heart, gratitude for the beautiful people around me… and one very big wish for brighter days ahead for our Indie. 🤍🐾
Here’s to a softer September. 🌿✨
