I’ve been using this time of uncertainty to ground and stabilize myself in healthy and productive ways - running, reading, writing, cooking, studying, creating and planning. Though it may feel like life is put on hold at the moment, I believe it’s still worth living and shouldn’t be wasted doing nothing. When we look back on this historic time, I hope we can say we learned something about ourselves, humanity, how to take better care of one another and what’s truly important in our lives. Life is looking a lot different these days but it’s up to us to make the most of it! Never forget that. 🧡#selfreflection #healing #lifeafterloss #runsolo #runner #stillamom #justdoit #lovelife

Thank goodness my favourite type of exercise is one that I can do solo while being outside! It’s time for all of us to #runsolo now for the greater good of the world, so we can run together again in the future. #runvan #beautifulbc #staysafe #stillsmiling

Keep calm, breathe deeply with intent and pray. I haven’t said much about faith as it relates to losing Joen, but the truth is during this time, I’ve found solace in prayer and worship. As healing as it’s been, it has brought me to my knees and has filled my eyes with tears, because I open my heart and share out loud what I am feeling, not holding back or holding in any emotion. God knows it’s been an emotional year so far. What it comes down to is control. It’s hard to admit when things don’t go the way you plan because it means you’ve lost control. When we lost Joen we lost a sense of control of our lives. And it was unbearable. But what I’ve learned through it all is that we have been under the false impression that we have control of our lives, and for some part, we might, but for the most part we don’t. Sometimes things happen in life that we don’t understand or can’t comprehend. And that’s okay because we aren’t supposed to understand or comprehend everything- there are things that transcend our understanding. Give faith and trust that it will be okay. And give up the control you once thought you had of your life. Let the world’s events happening around us serve as a reminder that we are indeed not in control of the outcome, only how we manage, manoeuvre and respond. In the same breath, let the events of today serve as a reminder that we are one people who are stronger together in the face of trouble and turmoil. We are innovators, creators and leaders. I’m sure by now everyone has been reminded to cherish the things and the people that matter in your life. Show gratitude for them. And be thankful for every breath you’re able to take. Count your blessings because if I’m still able to, then you should too. 🧡🧡🧡#MightyJoen #foreverimprintedinourhearts #reflections

I’m so happy I got to work with such a kind and talented soul on creating these stackable placenta rings, each of which has a piece of Joen within. Each colour we chose has a special meaning related to Joen’s mighty life. Garnet - January birthstone, the month Joen was born. Emerald (I chose a lighter green to show the placenta) - May birthstone, Joen’s due date was supposed to be May 18. Blue - The colour of the toque and blanket our baby boy was dressed in when we said goodbye to him. The rings turned out exactly how I envisioned and they’re just one more way I’m able to keep Joen’s memory close to me. Thank you Samantha for understanding how much this project meant to me and putting so much love and thought into crafting each piece 🧡 #MightyJoen #foreverimprintedinourhearts #stillparenthood #stillloved
