A whole new level of gratitude for the firefighters on the ground and in the air. Every few minutes planes are flying over, grabbing water from the lake and bringing it to the fire. Overnight it spread to 800 hectares (about 2000 acres), it's still "aggressive and out of control" but I'm guessing it would be much worse if these amazing humans weren't working non-stop to try kill/contain it. I bet they're also looking forward to winter! 🙏🙌 #thankyoufirefighters #westkelowna #peachland #mountlawfire #beautifulbc #wildfire #anamcharaholistic 
My nana always told me "don't wish your life away" but feck that right now! Roll on autumn and winter, I've well and truly had enough of this summer's scary shit 😔🔥 #toocloseforcomfort #wildfire #westkelowna #peachland #smokeysky #rainplease #beautifulbcisburning #thepoorwildanimals #gratefulforfirefighters #okanaganlifestyle #anxietyontopofanxiety #presentmomentreality #onebreathatatime #anamcharaholistic 
The smokanagan 😭🔥 whatever your jam is... prayer, meditation, visualization, or playing with energy, please take a minute to wish lots of lovely rain for the Okanagan 🙌🙏 #beautifulbc is full of wildfires, lots of people evacuated from their homes, for over a month it's been too hot or too smokey to walk outide, most days you can't see the mountains or the city, and sometimes you can't see the bridge until you're literally on it! 😳 View from the top of Rose Valley Regional Park this morning, smoke cleared enough to hike up without coughing up a lung, so today is a good day I suppose 😄🥳 #sendrain #bcwildfires #okanagan #weremelting #fedupofit #smokey #airqualityisterrible #bringonfall #anxietyontopofanxiety #cantbreathe #tryingtostaypresent #anamcharaholistic

If you get a chance, it's the last day to watch this film! Whether you're a continuously working on yourself holistic nerd like me or someone who's not usually into this kinda thing, every single person has been through some form of shit so I highly recommend watching it! 👏 Plus Gabor Mate is just awesome! 😄 "Trauma is not what happens to you, it's what happens inside you, as a result of what happened to you. It's not just what happened, it's also what didn't happen and should have." "Every human being has a true genuine authentic self and the Trauma is that disconnection from it and the healing is the reconnection with it."

Took me almost 20 years to get to this point but now every anniversary I try do something my mam and aunty never got to do. 🥰 This year it was meant to be stand up paddleboarding, but since it was my first time and I'm a big chicken in the water and stupidly scared of heights, it was kneel up paddleboarding 😄 whatever, still did it! And will keep doing it until I can stand up for more than 2 seconds 🤨😂 #determined #lakelife #beautifulbc #newexperience #doitwhileyoustillcan #anamcharaholistic @coldbrady 
They say you die twice: when you take your final breath, and the last time that someone says your name. Their names were Trisha and Maureen aka my mother and aunty. Super strong, beautiful women. On July 23rd 1991 their lives came to an abrupt end in a motorbike crash along with two others (Gary & Andrew). Eight kids were left without a parent, and too many peoples lives were changed forever. It's been 30 years and we've never stopped mentioning their names, and as long as I'm around, we never will! Bringing your loved ones names into everyday conversation keeps them with you. It can lessen the loss just for a moment. It breathes life into the memories that whirl around your mind. It reminds you of the being they were, and it allows others to know them. In some ways it might seem easier to not talk about people we've lost, shut it down, lock away the pain, don't mention them, it's too uncomfortable, too sad, too painful, if we don't say it or feel it, it won't hurt as much. But the reality is, it's gonna feel shite no matter what, so we might as well honour their existence and speak about them as the living soul they were; what they loved, things they said, mannerisms they had, and if you don't know, ask people who do. We can train our minds to think more about their time on this earth instead of just the pain of their departure. When you lose someone, no matter how long it's been, speak of them in the way you always did, mention their name without a shadow of a ghost in it; keep their presence alive not only in your heart but also in your present moment. Healing doesn't happen in isolation, healing happens in relationship, through connection; talk about those you miss with people who knew them, and also with people who didn't know them, bring your loved ones to life, don't let them die completely.
