It means you show up for yourself. For instance, when you've left the house to go on a walk and find it’s colder than you’d realized, you turn around to get your gloves so your hands don't freeze.

There are many questions to ask yourself like,”Who am I without this person I have loved so deeply?” We also looked at how to continue to engage in life and do more than simply “soldier on.”

For many of us, transitions can be hard. There are big transitions and lots of little transitions and the best thing you can do is to stay present as you move through the transitions, feeling your feelings as you go, and finding inner stability.

On this holy day of Christmas Eve, we met to talk about what creates a sustainable life as a Raregiver. What is it that is most beneficial for you so that you can show up for yourself and your Rare family?

We celebrated what we had accomplished over the course of the year, let go of things that are no longer serving, and embodied our intentions for the new year.

Your inner voice is a powerful guide, holding deep wisdom and insights that can shape your path. It often speaks softly, offering guidance and intuition that can lead us toward our most authentic selves.

Relationships are a vital aspect of our lives, shaping our experiences and influencing our overall well-being. Building authentic connections is about reflecting on where we feel most connected and where we long for deeper, more genuine relationships.

Vulnerability can feel like both a challenge and a gift. It’s an essential component of deep connections and personal growth, offering us a pathway to connect more profoundly with ourselves and others.

Creating a sustainable structure in your life as a raregiver means being intentional and present.

Padma Gordon

In a sense there is a before and an after–before you noticed symptoms, before you realized that something was different or that your child was not hitting the usual milestones.

How do you orient your life and what are your guiding values? An hour Tuesday women's empowerment circle we looked at what influences us, how do we make decisions and where did these come from…?
