I just wanted to pop on here and say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patience while I've been a little quiet. The truth is, I've been taking time to grieve the loss of my beautiful mum. It's been one of the hardest seasons of my life, and I've needed to step back, be present with my family, and allow myself the space to simply feel. One thing I've learnt through this journey is that healing isn't about pretending we're okay. It's about giving ourselves permission to feel every emotion, to cry, to rest, to breathe, and to trust that, little by little, the light finds its way back in. If there's one thing I truly believe, it's that we can't pour from an empty cup. So I've been doing exactly what I always encourage you to do. Choosing self-compassion instead of pressure, slowing down instead of pushing through, and honouring where I am, one day at a time. I want you to know how much your love, your messages, and your support have meant to me. Even when I haven't had the words to reply, I've felt every bit of your kindness, and I'm so grateful. I'm not the same person I was before losing Mum, and I don't expect to be. Grief changes us. But I can feel myself gently finding my way back, and I'm looking forward to reconnecting with you, sharing, healing, and continuing this beautiful journey together. Thank you for holding space for me, just as you've allowed me to hold space for so many of you. Life is precious. Hug your loved ones a little tighter. Tell people you love them. Be kind to yourself, and never feel guilty for slowing down when your heart needs time to heal. Sending you all so much love. Love always, Teresa 🤍✨

It's a bit late in the day for this, but to my fellow Canadians on here, Happy Canada Day 🍁 & to all other members, wherever you are in this world, sending you all a big hug!!! 🤗❤️
