<p>I just had to make the unexpected decision to put my two year old cat down last night. So hard. So many mixed emotions. I literally just posted her beautiful photo here not long ago too. It’s wild the processing of guilt, sense of failure, and heartbreak that comes along with these pets of ours. Thank you for giving me a space to grieve a bit more and feel connected in that part of human experience on some level. </p>

<p>Watched this in AM after a much-needed day off, Moonbear by my side. Let’s harmonize in June. I’ve had a great time with mostly calendar practices so far!</p>

<p>The timing of this month's theme and this vlog and particularly the amazing affirmation is actually a bit uncanny! Just yesterday I realised that I've been burning the candle at both ends for a couple of months, which has resulted in a lack of yoga and mindfulness practice and general lack of healthy boundaries in my professional and personal life. I am giving myself the grace that sometimes one falls off the wagon for a bit, but returning to my practice and the path of self fulfillment explorations is an incredibly amazing and invigorating feeling, returning to the mat this morning felt like returning home.</p><p>I will keep this affirmation, theme and community extra close to my heart this month. Thank you so much all you do, Adriene and FWFG team! Big love! ❤️</p>

<p>We just had to lay my partners mother to rest last sunday. She left us way to soon, barely 63. The rollercoaster of emotions we went through since we got the phone call is truly disorientating. Yesterday was my first day back on the mat and it was spent with tears streaming down my face for the whole hour. It felt like a purging and cleansing. </p><p>I hope our June will be better Adriene! 🫶</p>

<p>May was really rough for me too. My mum died. 💔 She found herself in hospital unexpectedly, we were thinking that she would be home in a few days but it wasn't to be. Somehow I've kept up my daily practice. I have been choosing quieter practices but I've kept up the routine which has helped at least a little. </p>

<p>What's the name of the song from the beginning? 😁❤️</p><p></p><p>Also, amazing vlog - I love how honest you always are here with us, Adriene. 🙏🏻 </p><p></p><p>Have a beautiful month, everyone! </p>

<p>It has been quite a month I agree. Last year at this time, I found out that I have a benign tumour called a fibroid in my uterus that was the size of a grapefruit. So, with all the testing and preparing and taking $$ drugs to put me into menopause all within three months, on May 22nd I had a hysterectomy where they removed something the size of a cantaloup actually. It wasn't able to be done laparoscopically, they had to do a C-section. I'm a massage therapist and have been for 15 years. I am 49 and was still doing five treatments a day five days a week at a beautiful place here in the Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba. I don't know if you've heard the news, but Manitoba is burning in the north from wildfires and that is only about eight hours north of me. I am so thankful and grateful for the place that I have have to recuperate and heal, but it is difficult to not be able to go out and help anyone right now. So, the statement is that you can only help others by helping yourself. Thank you Adriene, for being honest and true to yourself so that we can be true to ourselves. Many blessings and everything you do and everything you do helps me do everything I do. Move like you're moving through water is something that I use on my clients whenever they're getting up after my treatments. Thank you for that statement. And for the meditative words you said at the end of the blog. I'm also a singer, flute player sound technician, and so the theme of Harmony is going to help me find what feels good in nature, within myself in order to heal from my past. Merci. Thank you. </p>

<p>In e thing I forgot to say. I loved your intro and that has reinforced for me why I am a member. I don’t have to follow the calendar. I can and do often, choose from the library 🙏🏼</p>

<p>💚 <strong>Dear Adriene, FWFG team, community members — and lovely Benji,</strong>Warm greetings from Corfu, Greece! I am so deeply grateful to be part of this virtual community — a space that always makes room for us to express our feelings with honesty and kindness.</p><p>Reading through some of the recent comments, I realized I’m not the only one who has been struggling over the past month. While it doesn’t make me happy to know others are facing difficulties, I do feel seen and understood. I’m learning, on different levels of consciousness, that we are all human — and it is deeply human to struggle. For me, the challenge right now is mostly mental.</p><p>Sending you all loads of love and healing hugs.<strong>Sincerely,Katerina</strong></p><p><strong>P.S.</strong> I’m really looking forward to this month’s challenge and the new videos — they always bring light and comfort, even on the foggiest days. 💚🙏</p>

<p>This was just what I needed to hear this morning. I’ve been going through grief and loss but also exceptional beauty through it. This is the first month in a long time that I have committed to completing the June calendar in its entirety to redevelop my connection to my inner song and harmony. It’s always comforting to know we’re not alone through our hardships. I love this community 💜</p>
