What's happening at Sparks of Healing?
February 2025: Learn to Love Yourself
February: Learn to Love Yourself
Welcome to February, a month of love, transformation, and a pile of planetary alignment.
What have I been up to?
Writer’s retreat, connecting with the Spirit of My Business, creating my own reality...
Writer’s retreat: My friend and published author, Cari Moffet and I met halfway again in January to spend a few days at Dakota Dunes Resort at Whitecap, Saskatchewan for a little writing retreat. She resides in Meadow Lake and I live in Regina so it’s a midpoint. We meet for meals and an evening dip in the pool in between sequestering ourselves in separate hotel rooms to write. In time together, we catch up on life, and talk about our projects. The magic of this land somehow takes our scattered thoughts about upcoming projects and frames them for us so they make sense, putting the puzzle pieces in order to help us understand what we are building. I found myself with enough material to be working on not one, but two books! Thank you Cari, for asking me what the word count is on all the small pieces I have been writing and saving for the past five years... turns out it is a lot! 418,094 words to be exact!
We were excited to learn that Dakota Dunes is in the process of adding a spa to the resort so 2026 will be an even more amazing experience!
The Spirit of My Business: Last fall, I embarked upon an adventure with Colette Baron-Reid to learn that every business has a spirit who has chosen us to help bring it to earth to experience itself. I have been meeting with this etheric collaboration partner on a frequent basis to understand better what my business wants. It has been an interesting adventure and massive mind shift to think that I am not alone in running Sparks of Healing, I actually have a wise partner with insights and inspiration as to its operation. In December, Sparks of Healing told me to rest, so between the cards and my dear husband, I took two weeks away from work to just rest, spend time with family, and enjoy my peaceful home. It was great! I won’t need as much convincing next time. Jaret keeps reminding me that I am supposed to be partially retired. 😆I am not the best at that part! It really doesn’t feel like work when I love my clients and students.
Creating my own reality: I will be writing on this more in the future as well as making a podcast appearance in February on the Get Chatty with Kathy & QC Gifts podcast.
For the longest time I have heard the phrase Thought are things... Your thoughts become your reality. It seems to me there are times when I know something and then all of a sudden, I KNOW SOMETHING. That happened to me this past while. Mom was in and out of the hospital five times in January.
Being a soulpreneur means I am my business, so if I am not here, there is no business happening. I am working hard to gain clients, write, and get the message of Being Love out into the world. I felt like I should be at the hospital every day. Jaret asked me why I feel that way? Who is in my head telling me that to be a good daughter I have to go every day? I thought long and hard about my belief around being a good daughter. I realized that Mom was not calling me, asking me to come every day, in fact, she was telling me that she knew I had a business to run, I need not come as often.
It was a huge epiphany moment for me that the only person putting that pressure on me was me. I had some idea that someone, somewhere was counting my visits and evaluating my love through numerically. No one is doing that, but me.
Freedom is the guiding word I have selected for 2025. It has become quite clear to me that I hold the key to my own cage. The cage is my brain, the key is self-forgiveness and self-love.
Podcast appearances:
I have been invited to talk on two separate podcasts this month, I am uncertain of the air dates at the time of this newsletter but here are the links. Check out these two amazing Canadian podcast hosts and the variety of local to our province people they interview.
Get Chatty with Kathy This link is to our January discussion about New Year, new beginnings, which is still relevant as the Lunar or Chinese New Year was only January 29th. 😉
Love yourself day:
Date: February 14, 2024
Time: All day, every day, all the time.
Location: Anywhere and everywhere!
Description: My wish for you is that you learn to love yourself deeply and fully. I want you to forgive yourself for anything that stops you from fully accepting yourself and all your humanness. Self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, self-compassion will lead to self-love. Love yourself so fully that every breath fills you with more love; every exhale releasing anything that stands in the way of accepting all the love the Universe has for you. Fill your heart so fully that love spills over and infects everyone in your vicinity. If we are going to infect someone with something, let it be love. 💜
