Oh goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a wondrous tribuuuuuuute to your mum!!! I was reading with full-body goosebumps and you got me with this sentence and I burst into tears! I'm thrilled beyond words for your very well deserved closure, my precious soul sister! 💙💙💙🤗🤗🤗

I started reading and was interrupted by kids! I just came back from my 3-day-me-vacation! Turns out I need a 3-month one! 😁

It seems fair frankly after the crazy last 20 months starting by discovering my family dark secret that triggered my savior pattern and was followed by the most painful type of grief: the radical acceptance one; grieving love; grieving a lost childhood; grieving the hope of a healthy relationship.

Then I went to Brazil for my 3-month volunteering adventure which I can describe as a simultaneously wondrous and horrific journey, and I'm glad I documented it thouroughly!

Last but not least, I embarked into my stray animals volunteering work here and added 3 kids to my home with two brothers rescued almost dead and requiring care for 14 weeks, among which 9 were shared with their siblings (Ringworm).

Today was a volunteering day and I came back home with the heart full of sadness, frustration, love, gratitude and hope! I’m planning to write about it shortly! The bad news is that I am suspecting two of my kids developed a skin allergy (itching, oily fur, hair loss, diarrhea, rarely vomiting).

I feel honored to serve my babies, but I'd love to see them fully healthy even for a while! I'm gonna offer my gratitude to the Universe as if it already happened! Fortunately, I'll manifest it! I keep faith! 🤩
