On the Coast – Families Issue 101 I August/September 2019 | Page 4

Inside 6 Lactation Lumps 8 Mindfully parenting the older toddler Welcome Life has been a little turbulent of late, with sadly losing a beloved family member unexpectedly and a long term injury for our sport lovin' boy that requires surgery and ongoing physiotherapy. Prior to this, one of our dear friends was involved in a horrific accident but thankfully is recovering well with strength and courage. These life changing events have rocked our family and we've spent a great deal of time just being together, giving strength and love to each other in abundance. What was very evident through this time was the incredible support we received from our circle of love, far and wide. We felt nurtured and cared for and so grateful. How lucky we are! 10 Be the anchor in my anxiety 14 Lift your mood with food 16 Focus on kid's sports injuries The reality of life is full of ebbs and flows, and when things happen (even when we aren't prepared for them), we need to find the resilience to ride them out and move forward. When things feel a little bleak, it's refreshing to know that tomorrow the sun will still rise and shine warmth on us, that the days will roll forward week by week without fail and that our equilibrium will be restored once more. The rhythm of life can't be broken, even when we are! Hope your rhythm of life is regular and rolling along evenly. Enjoy this edition. Extra thanks to Deb (my amazing business partner and friend) for keeping the 'On The Coast' ball rolling along strongly in my absence.
