The world through my eyes

There is much to see and much to discover. Let us not lose sight of reality though we see much through a screen

Big Teddy has always been the only man for me. I love this picture, but it has a secret. We all share what we want the world to see. What we think makes us more acceptable to our current culture built on likes and motivational quotes that mean nothing in real life. What you can’t see in this picture is my hospital wristband , the one that says I can’t go home or be alone. They say focus on the positive people in your life. So here is something positive. Big Ted sharing love. Ignore the other bit of it makes you uncomfortable. Society has not accepted it yet. I appreciate those who love all the bits of me. #bigted #family #positivevibes (at Royal Jubilee Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmC1J4hD0Mk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13fcl45b3jcnj

My fantastic kids who know me so well. They took me to the petting zoo today, baby goats are the best soul food around... that with a little side dish of family, sunshine, ice cream and Star Wars. Thanks my loves for spending the day with your Momma and treating me. You two are the best people ❤️💕 @chaylearowe14 @rusted.shores . . #family #mykidsaremylife #allgrownup #beaconhill #pettingzoo #babygoats #soulfood #lifetherapy #saturday #yyj #ilovemyfamily (at Beacon Hill Children's Farm)

I’m am trying to be honest with the world. And so, this week is rough. My brain is telling me that I am not doing well and not to reach out. Compassion fatigue and burnout are real. Take care of yourself put there front line workers and parents, recovery is a long road. The bright spot is this little love. He keeps me going and makes me go outside when I want to hide. I am so thankful for him. @dobbyelfdog and to the people who don’t take my introversion as them, but realize I need them more than ever! #mentalhealth #bekind #reachout #thevillage #dobby #therapydog

When you get old. You have to spend time becoming wise. You do this by staring at sunsets and looking philosophical... so I have heard. Wisdom I am waiting. #birthdaygirl #wisdom #sunset #jerichobeach #vancouverisawesome #amiwiseyet #aginggracefully (at Jericho Beach)

What makes a mother? A mother is someone who gets to have her heart expanded in ways she never imagined, a person who has other humans hold pieces of that heart and grow and shine with it. And whose greatest moments are when they come back and connect all the pieces of her heart by sharing theirs. Happy Mother’s Day and my heart is full. Because of these faces. #mothersday #myheart #mykids #allgrownup #family #somuchlove @chaylearowe14 @rusted.shores @taranorrish @rwoudstr

We have been in the new place for 1 week. And I think it took a gaggle of young women in the swimming pool to make it okay for Emma Glee to go on her tower on the deck and relax. I wonder where she has heard the sound of young girls giggling and being silly before?? #feelslikehome #newhome #adjusting #catsofinstagram #emmaglee @chaylearowe14 @jesssmccullough @sleepydak @jess_pauul @kelseymckernan (at Victoria, British Columbia)

This is me on the floor as we pack up my life again. I recently counted and discovered that I have moved 25 times in my life and am about to do move 26 in 2 weeks. Some were big and after tragedy, some have been exciting first home buyers, and now I feel I am in the downsizing and sorting moves. The I never want to do this again kind. And so I am hoping the universe will help me out and let me have a smooth move to my new apartment and that I apartment life is something I can do! #movingon #onedayatatime #igotthis #simpleliving

Today was a special day! My life purpose started 24 years ago. The kindest, most thoughtful young man blessed me with being my son. There is a lack of words in the English language for me to express how much I love him and how proud of who he is as a human. . Now he is grown and 24 and his time to determine his own place and path has long begun. I appreciate that he continues to allow me to be such a big piece of his life and I know that Rylan has touched so many lives with his kindness. I hope this year brings him great adventures, memories, self awareness of his own greatness and abundance of love.❤️🎉 . . . #family #happybirthday #myboy #allgrownup #24yearsold #wheredoesthetimego

This is what happens when you try to film someone who won’t stop moving and is tiny and so jacked up about being home he doesn’t go to sleep until 1:30 am. #mexicanjumpingbean #dobby @dobbyiam_freed #dogsofinstagram #puppy #whoneedssleep #badfilming
