PARTNERSHIP - GIVING OR GETTING?
/Happy Sunday! How has your week been? ๐๐
One of the most important things I've learnt in partnership is to go beyond 'how or what do I get?' to 'how can I be a contribution to who my husband is and what is in his heart?' ๐๐๐If you wholeheartedly believe you can give yourself everything you need, then partnership can be a space you joyfully give to, without needing or expecting anything in return. โฎ
I was quite frustrated with our outdoor garden and patio some time ago and I found myself repeatedly asking my husband about it. ๐ฑ๐ก๐ผ I was curious why he wasn't leaning into finishing the no dig garden and tiling of the outdoor area. When I spoke to him about it, he honestly shared that it wasn't an excitement for him right now. I realised I'd had an expectation on him. ๐บ๐ผ
It was an excitement for me so I was really happy to choose/buy tiles for the alfresco, organise a tiler and finish the no dig garden. ๐โจ I have to admit that maneuvering a Bunning's trolley with 10 heavy bags of compost and big bales of sugar cane mulch down a hill to the car, was an interesting experience. ๐ช๐ช๐ฅ Definitely would've been one for 'Funniest Home Video's'. ๐๐๐คฃ
The female energy in us all (we all have male and female energy) loves the freedom to follow our independent excitements, to flow and to receive growth when the waters may feel turbulent. ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ The gift you can give to everyone in your home is to encourage them to follow their soul's callings and to ask them where they would love you to contribute to their heart. ๐๐ฅฐ
I don't need anything in our family, but there are lots of desires in my heart. ๐๐๐ My heart loves to feel light and happy in my day to day, so I love it when the males in my family can contribute to that. I love how our son spoke up the other morning. ๐คฉ๐ He asked how yoga was and my reply was, "Wow it was so tough - a real challenge". ๐๐งโโ๏ธ He said, "Mum, do you realise you say that every morning?"
I was like, "Oh my goodness, I do don't I? ๐ค๐ However, my choice is to feel inspired by my practice, to notice where I've improved, become more present and celebrate moving my body every day". I loved his contribution to my growth! ๐๐๐ค
