Everyday should be a Celebration of our place in the world no matter where we are. Celebrate the world around you and the people and community that you are part of.   Find the beauty waiting for you when you wake up and go outside.

Be thankful.

Today I thank the ancestors of all living things that have grown, lived and transformed the paths that I have lived in my life.  I thank my mother for welcoming me here.  I thank my brothers and sisters for joining me, side by side on their own journeys.

I thank my daughter for choosing me to welcome her.

I thank all the peoples who have found their place in this country. In particular I thank the first nations peoples on Canada day.

I thank the plants and animals who lived here before us all.

I take a moment to be sorry for the aggressions that have taken place here in the past and I make wishes for a powerful joyous and healing future.

I send out love to all.  I send out the feeling of connection to this earth, to it’s plants and animals and elements and people. May we all share. Love.

May we all share.   Love.

Love Erin.
