...over on our #InnerWisdom Lab Youtube Channel - videos with thoughts and videos of guided visualizations to help others reconnect with their own sense of identity.

I don't know how many people have given much thought to their lineage or how that contributes to their sense of identity...

I have been thinking a lot about identity - what it is, how we remember our core essence, what happens when identity is disrupted, the connection between worldviews and identity, how we reconnect to our essential identity. #adoption #birthfamily #biologicalfamily #adoptivefamily

Yet, #lifejourney is always in motion, always evolving. We have #choices to make all along the way. This slice of my story demonstrates some of those choices - for my journey and with people who matter. Grounded in #love, #purpose and #relationship. #Adoption AdoptiveFamily #BirthFamily #Memoir

I have had the great honour of working with a fabulous editor at #CBC to find just 800 words to tell one small part of the story of finding out, at 46, that I was #adopted. #adoption #biologicalfamily #adoptivefamily #familymatters #soulconnection www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's #NationalSiblingsDay 💫

The bonds that we have with our #siblings are so, so important and they often outlast all of the other relationships that we have in our lives 🫶

Brothers and sisters often wait longer for an #AdoptiveFamily, could you help us change this?

I hope it helps #parents who find #lifestorywork daunting, & gives you some ideas to explain adoption to children!
