Less than a 5 minute drive from home to this amazing forest beside the Coquitlam River. The goodies along the trail include oso berry, wild lettuce, huckleberry, elderberry, all of which I'd walk by blindly, until today. Thanks to my guide, Carl Ronka The beautiful prize at the end of the trail was Crystal Falls.

Love is an interesting word, and collectively it's been undergoing a dismantling + redefining process. Love, it turns out, is subjective and there are many ways to show love.
Doing nothing is an act of love.
Making something for someone is an act of love.
Doing something for someone is act of love
Buying something for someone is an act of love.
Cooking is an act of love.
Rescuing is an act of love.
Telling the truth is an act of love.
Telling a lie is an act of love....

If an act of love is misinterpreted, the other person can feel invalidated, betrayed, disempowered and even unloved. It's ironic! But true.

So I offer you this - love yourself first. See how that feels. Then let everything you do next be from that place - how your act of love is received is really up to the other person and their definition of love. At least you will know that your intention was to show love ❤

My experiences as a highly sensitive person:

1. Able to detect subtle changes in facial expression, pupil dilation and body language, which translates into knowing if something is 'off'.

2. Able to detect whether the words a person speaks line up with their real feelings. In other words, can spot a lie.

3. Despite the above, always give others the benefit of the doubt believing a shift can happen in a microsecond.

4 . Eager to help and ease the burden of others, an intention that can easily be misinterpreted as lacking boundaries, disrespectful of others' boundaries, or robbing others of their own crucial lessons.

5. Need an ordered environment because chaos can quickly bring on feelings of overwhelm.

6. Get bored easily. Always curious, asking questions, wanting to go deeper, love variety.

7. Deep feeler, deep thinker, with a Costco size crayon box spectrum of emotions while most have the standard Crayola 12 pack.

8. Prefer a few intimate relationships with people I know really well, and feel challenged to hold casual, light conversations. I always want to go deeper.

9. Crave connection, unity, community, understanding and reciprocity.

10. Self-regulating is difficult. Strong desire to give the whole of myself and be honest and truthful all the time.

11. Due to #10 I trust easily - after all you're just like me, right? 😊 Only 20% are and it's shocking that 80% of the world isn't like us.

12. Highly developed right brain so prone to empathy and intuition, seeing and perceiving what others cannot, which drives left brain people crazy.

13. Able to get to the truth like a laser so I don't have much of a bedside manner, because it just seems so obvious to me.

14. Highly resistant to labels. They're confining and inaccurate because they're based on 5 sensory psychology and science, which tend to not include mystical, spiritual realities. We are so much more than our bodies!

15. I can be too much and not enough to some people when all I really am is just more.

Maybe you can relate.
