Oh boy!

This resonates with how I was and how much I’ve grown away from that person of the past

Choosing a path for the self isn’t “selfish”, it’s imperative

Choosing a path of fulfillment isn’t selfish, it too is imperative

Once I’d have bent over backward to ensure they had everything they needed, oft to the detriment of myself (and MY family)

Now, I embrace my freedom, my choices, me … with no fear of reprisal from the narcissists, the energy drainers

Now, I give by choice not on demand

Self acceptance, self love, self worth - they’re the gifts you deserve

Allow yourself to accept them

Become the you that you truly desire

In service, I reach out to you…

Reach out to me if you too want to be the best version of you

I Wasn’t Loved — I Was Useful

They didn’t love me for who I was.
They loved me for what I could offer.
They liked me because I was easy—
Easy to talk to.
Easy to lean on.
Easy to forget once their hearts felt lighter.

I said yes when every part of me wanted to say no.
I smiled when I wanted to cry.
I laughed at jokes that weren’t funny,
just to keep the peace.

I held space for people
who never once noticed the emptiness growing inside me.
No one ever asked if I needed holding, too.

And now, I’m angry.
Not just at them—
but at myself.
For believing that kindness would protect me.
For mistaking self-sacrifice for love.

I Became Who They Needed — Not Who I Was

In every room, I scanned for clues.
What do they want from me?
Who do I need to become to stay wanted?

I shape-shifted so perfectly,
I forgot what my own voice sounded like.
Forgot what it felt like to belong to myself.

Because being authentic
felt like a risk I couldn’t afford.
So I wore masks until they became my skin.
Until even I couldn’t tell where I ended
and their expectations began.

I Confused Being Liked With Being Safe

If they like me, they won’t leave.
If I’m useful, I’ll matter.
If I’m quiet, agreeable, low-maintenance—
maybe they’ll stay.

So I softened my edges
until I was barely a shape at all.
Apologized for existing
before anyone had the chance to reject me.

But approval is a fragile currency.
And one day, I woke up bankrupt—
empty, invisible, and exhausted.

I Didn’t Burn Out — I Was Used Up

I wasn’t overreacting.
I was overextending.

The weight of being “the good one”
crushed the wild, messy, loud parts of me—
the parts that wanted to scream,
to say no,
to ask, what about me?

I thought being nice would make people love me.
Instead, it made them forget I was human.

I’m Not Bitter — I’m Finally Honest

I don’t want to be the safe choice anymore.
The reliable one.
The emotional sponge who absorbs everyone else’s pain.

I want to be loved for my soul,
not my silence.
For my truth,
not my tolerance.

And if my boundaries make me hard to love—
then maybe they never loved me at all.

I’m Done Performing

I’m not your emotional support system.
I’m not here to stay small so you can feel big.
I’m not shrinking anymore just to stay included.

If love requires me to disappear,
then I’d rather walk alone.

Because I deserve to exist fully—
Loudly.
Boldly.
Unapologetically.

No more pretending.
No more dimming my light to keep others comfortable.

This time,
I choose me.

It’s so important to take time out, when one can; we were never meant to constantly barrage ourselves the way the world expects us to

To be the best we can be, we must find ways to fill our cups, to release the stresses we carry

For us, we get to go here, our piece of paradise

We immediately feel the peace, the release, the promise of rejuvenation

Here we can do as much or as little as we care to

We get to walk the golf courses, meander along the waters edge, chin-wag with the neighbours

What ever our hearts desire there is no pressure, there is only us

In this space we create space within our hearts and minds, we get to gather them together and release that which no longer serves

What are you doing to fill your cup and replenish your soul?

Blue skies, a gentle breeze, sunshine

What more could one ask for?

I’m eternally grateful to have a peace (piece) of paradise on this earth to where we can return time and again to simply “Be”

Where we can relax, unwind, rejuvenate

Where we can leave the worries of the world behind for just a moment or two

Where we can reflect and gather our thoughts, re-strengthen and replenish our souls

My hope is that this resonates and replenishes your soul as you imagine yourself here

Blessings, Char

The Spine Is Like a Garden Hose

Think of the spine like a garden hose. Inside that hose flows the life force—the water, the energy, the messages from the brain to the body and back again. It’s how the body stays alive, regulated, and healing.

But what happens when there’s a kink in the hose?

The flow slows down—or stops.
The garden (your organs, tissues, cells) doesn’t get what it needs.
Things start to dry out, break down, or become overgrown.

A blockage in the spine is like that kink.
It’s a response to stress—but it disrupts the body’s natural flow.

You don’t need to blast the hose with more water. You don’t need to yank it or fix the garden.
We gently find the kink—and release it.

That’s what we are doing with Spinal Flow. The access points allow the body to unwind the kink itself—and restore the flow.

The water flows and the garden heals.

“You don’t heal the body. The body removes what’s in the way and heals itself.”

Unkink your body, book your treatment with us today

When empaths don’t set boundaries…

I found this fascinating to listen to and it made sense to me

I’ve studied Carl Jung, in part, many times and still find so much (learn) more each time

It’s so true…

When the bullied becomes the bully, we’ve run so far from that we turn we become exactly that which we did not like

It’s true in so many ways

When we are open and vulnerable we are taken advantage of and when we place boundaries we are shunned thus we create walls, harden our hearts become the very thing we were trying to break through

We tend to shift from one extreme to the other, 180 degrees… it’s in finding the middle ground that we can have and be all that we can be

“Knowing your own darkness is the b...

Schuessler Tissue Salts are our choice of homeopathic mineral salt. There is something for everything in this Australian made and owned natural range

𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

The human body contains twelve vital mineral (tissue) salts, a proper balance of which is necessary for normal cell function and to maintain good health.

When cellular balance is disturbed an abnormal condition leading to various ailments follows. According to Dr Schuessler, a normal balance of these vital salts can be re-established by administering the deficient mineral salts in a readily assimilated form. These are now known as Schuessler Tissue Salts.

Schuessler found that the most effective way to assimilate these salts was through a homeopathically prepared micro dose, which passes rapidly into the bloodstream and therefore into our cells.

Ever wonder what’s really happening when your C7 nerve gets pinched? Let’s break it down clearly! 💡📚

The C7 nerve root exits your spinal cord at the level of the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) in your neck. From there, it travels through the shoulder area, runs down the back part of your upper arm and forearm, and can even reach all the way to your middle finger.

When this nerve gets compressed or irritated, it can lead to a condition known as radiculopathy. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness along that specific pathway — usually shown as a red area in anatomical images.

What are some common reasons this nerve might get pinched? 💡

- A herniated disc in your neck putting pressure on the nerve.
- Degenerative disc disease, which can narrow the space around the nerve.
- Bone spurs (also known as osteophytes) that develop over time.
- Spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal.
- Trauma, injuries, or even poor posture habits over time.

How do you know if it’s your C7 nerve that’s affected? 📚

- Pain that starts in your neck, travels down the back of your arm, and can reach your middle finger.

- Weakness in your triceps muscle (the muscle you use to straighten your elbow).

- A decreased or absent triceps reflex when tested.

- Possible numbness or tingling specifically in the middle finger.

If you’re noticing these symptoms, don’t ignore them.

Early evaluation and proper treatment can help prevent worsening of nerve irritation and improve your function faster. Strengthening, posture correction, and sometimes medical interventions may be needed depending on the severity.

Take care of your neck and listen to your body — it’s always trying to tell you something! 💡📚
