From An Eagle Eye View

Peace and so much love to you!

Can I say I virtually miss you?!

It has been quite the year! Sending virtual fist bumps to all.

Baby!

Can we talk, like talk..talk?

Last year started off beautifully and then life came with transitions of my loved ones and sadly, I lost focused.

Not only did I feel I lost focused, everything went on hold.

It was like life had me trying to find my footing all over again.

Being real, I buried my head and tried to cope by staying busy with work, family and self-isolation.

I mean whoever said "grief is a process did not LIE!"

It was a process for me to remember to allow myself to be vulnerable, embrace the good memories and never forget about the ones left.

Sounds easy?

Everyone has their own capacity and race. Trust me I was feeling like a turtle even when it came to writing this blog.

Some things in Life Happens.

While life is happening for you.

It is happening but never forget your WHY.

I do believe this blog is long overdue and it is time for me to share what I have learned about grief and how to continue to have an Eagle Eye View in life especially in the times we are seeing.

Number 1- Trust The Divine That All Will Work Out Even If 'it" Hurts

No matter the "it". Grief is not just a loss of a person. Grief can be the lost of a career. Grief comes along as a reminder that life is changing and time, patience and grace is needed. While trusting the Divine to iron out the tough details, believe that even if you don't feel your best, God got your best on the way. Allow yourself to cry, feel, laugh and most importantly not to worry about what you cannot change. Although I do NOT have all the answers, I do know God answers. I trust and believe that if you are in any stages of grief/healing, God got you and the situation in the works.

Okay!

Number 2-"Memories Are To Be Shared, Never Forgotten."

There are many ways to share those memories of those loved ones such as sharing family albums, recipes, create memorabilia with their name or photos, create a family event, listen to their favorite song or just simply say their name and smile.

Let's be real!

If the memories are not pleasant and if the person who hurt you is now deceased, I send you so much love.

But can I be honest?

If what you feel is anger. Find an outlet: for example: working out, talk to a trusted person, scream even. Holding on to anger is not healthy. But most importantly, don't ever let anger control you not for a day. And if you feel the need to release your anger in a different way I highly recommend kickboxing, yoga, deep breaths, take a drive, separate yourself to allow yourself time to assess your feelings. Journaling helps also.

Number 3-Remember Who You Are and Who is Cheering You On

I know it is hard. To keep working at something you cannot see the outcome of yet.

You may have started something in hopes that the loved one would be present for.

You may even want to give up since they are no longer here.

I have to tell you that you matter. And don't you dare give up on your hopes, your dreams or even life.

There is someone who is still cheering you on from the Spiritual Side as well as the physical.

You have a whole team that loves you, protects you and support you.

Never forget that.

And when life feels like it is beating you down, you get back up and take another swing, kick or try at it.

Even if I don't personally know you, just know that I too am cheering you on as you grow, glow and thrive!

Bring it in!!!!!

I am so proud of you for making it through yet another year, another day.

We need more super lit folks like you.

So don't forget to enjoy each day.

Smile.

And most importantly trust God got you!

With love and so much light,

Violet Flower
