We brought the puppy home and the fleas came too!

Ah the sweet sight of a sleeping puppy

If you told me a year ago that in a mere 52 weeks I’d be chilling on a homestead with a puppy, I would have said “Well, yeah! That’s what I’m manifesting!”

not.. I wouldn’t have believed it

Even though this has all been intentionally worked towards, I had no idea or expectation that it would play out this way, or that it would happen this quick!

“The homestead” always felt like a future thing, something we’d work towards & eventually get to. And although we have continuously worked towards this, I never expected to feel like “oh! I’m here!”

Ya ya Jess, we get it. What’s your point?

It’s never going to play out how you think it’s going to, but it’s definitely playing.

So let’s play

K so yeah Kai has fleas. We haven’t seen any on her, but she has a lot of bites that get itchy & cause her quite some discomfort.

The first day I was like omg i ain’t qualified for dis.

But day 2, I saw it from a more holistic perspective. It’s not just fleas, it’s all of it. All of her. All of us. All of this.

So let’s balance this.

We’re taking a medical & herbal combo approach. Some puppy flea meds, some vinegar sprays, some herbal sponge baths & a chamomile tea with the intention to soothe her inflammation from the inside out.

It’s wild

It’s raw

It’s real

It’s amazing

It’s heart opening

It’s exactly what I need in my life

I luv dis bitch

In garden news,

All our cool-loving crops have found homes in the nursery. Jakoby has set up a barrel w/ a sub-pump to water the seedlings w/ rain water. He’s talking about setting up our solar system to run the pump.

I’ve learned a lot from this little flea bag in three days

#1. Let go of control

Just drop it

You can’t control anything

So take a deep breath & let it go

Let it go

#2. You can’t help someone heal if you take on their suffering

Feeling/feeding into it = taking it on

#3. Be extra patient

Be gentle with each other

We’re all starting anew, we’re all helping each other rise

#4. Play

Play lots

Play fetch

Run on the beach

Kai loves the beach and so do I

Im excited to go swimming together

Today was the first day I walked barefoot around the property. I said to Jakoby on the beach “my feet feel like they’ve been in boots all winter!”

Ready to strengthen them

Crushed shells & sharp puppy teeth

We’re doing it

It ain’t perfect

It’s messy

But we are doing it

Here’s a little ditty I wrote last night about releasing resistance..

I do not hold resistance

You can’t possibly hold resistance

That’s what creates the dis-balance

Trying to hold it

You can’t hold anything

Maybe for a sec

But not much longer

I hold no resistance

I no hold

I flow
