Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death. Many of you have been through or experienced quarantine. Now its our turn. Covid-19 has Just Showed Up in the Heath household. Booo. We have avoided it for two years, I feel like most of us will get it (the elephant in the room) so we are doing our thing. We are quarantining. At first I had a little pitty party, I didn’t want to do this, we have things to do and places to go. I have acknowledged and allowed all my feelings and disappointment for the things we can’t do. So what can we do? I have made a list: Avoid our daughter Jadyn! She has been banished to the basement and in her room. The rest of us are upstairs. We facetime, we leave snacks at the door and do what we have to do. The rest of us are being preventative, taking vitamins, antioxidants and fluids. What else can we do? We can dress in colourful shirts, listen to music, dance around and do some more cleaning (because I LOVE that so much…) We can also catch up on other things because we cannot leave the house or do grocery shopping or other chores. We can play games, we can outside in the back yard and get some fresh air, and if we start to feel unwell, we do what we need to do for us- rest, increase our fluids, treat ourselves symptomatically if need be. I would love to hear your suggestions from anyone that has been in quarantine… what did you do to keep your spirits up? Many of us have been through this. We are all in this together. We will make the best of it. Feel free to send your love and good juju! We will continue to Just Show Up for ourselves and each other.

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Death. Today is February 16, 2022, and it is my birthday! I am 57 years old! That is such a privilege. I celebrate my flawed, imperfect, grey haired self. So many of us think we can’t celebrate or have other Just Show Up for each other because there are restrictions, but that is not true. Today I received messages on Facebook, text and emails and I read every single message. (Ha! I am choking up!) I looked at every emoji and thought about how I knew each and every person that sent a message and it meant the world to me. Don’t ever under estimate the power of Just Showing Up by sharing a kind message. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the messages, they mean the world to me. Now I am going to celebrate! However that looks today. I painted my toe nails, I groomed and ready to celebrate on my own because nobody is going to be home! I even have my beautiful sash that my daughter Jadyn bought me and it lights up! Whatever it takes… Celebrate today. Celebrate you and celebrate me. Happy Birthday to me!
Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death. Today we are in snowy Orillia Ontario. We had a few things that we needed to do here, so we decided to make it an adventure because that is the choice that we always get to make. Even if you have to go and do something that you don’t feel like doing, that does not mean you cannot make it a great adventure otherwise. So, it is snowing and we are not allowed to go in restaurants (but we have take out!!) We went to Thai Plate in Orillia. It is one of our favourite places, we have our food and we are now sitting on the main street eating our food, looking at the trees enjoying our lunch. As I always say, we always have a choice. We don’t always have the choice we wish we had… We wish we could sit IN the Thai Plate and I kind of wish we did not have to come to Orillia in the first place. However, we are going to choose to have fun, to do what we can do, and enjoy this great food. Remember, no matter what you have to do, no matter what the circumstances are… make it fun and enjoy your day. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death. Earlier in the week we shared a post about finding something good in every day. We have had wonderful feedback and conversation about that one post. Personally, I think a lot of it has to do with everything going on during the last few weeks in our world. Most of our conversation is about the importance of being kind to each other. For this week, we thought we could look deeper into kindness and Geordie found this fun short video to help do just that. Did you know there are scientifically proven benefits to being kind? It is contagious, teachable, and makes you feel all fuzzy inside. Always be kind to each other. Thank you for always Just Showing Up for us! Have a great week everyone!
