How does one learn to not only accept but embrace the trials and tribulations of life, especially in these trying times of modern day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different answers for different people. But Karen Patterson hoped that by coming together as a group, commonality and the potency of love would help those find the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Patterson, a family mediator and relationship and life coach, organized an event called Love to Above, which took place the afternoon of Saturday, February 5 at Avery Beach boat launch. It was a gathering of people from the community who made hearts in the ice or snow whilst reflecting on love, loss, or grief, or chatting with others. The welcome and camaraderie was<br>evidently felt by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe idea is that you\u2019re sending your love out there wherever,\u201d Patterson says. \u201cIt\u2019s heavy, and there\u2019s grief, and we\u2019re all tired so this is an idea of freeing that and sending love and fixing our hearts a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many participants brought snowshoes and ventured onto the ice to help form a giant heart; some stayed on the snow and formed their own smaller hearts. The day was sunny and bright, a suitable backdrop for such an occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patterson was inspired by a viral online video of a shepherd in Australia who had laid out grain in his field in the shape of a giant heart. He then let his sheep out to eat the grain and form the shape of the heart in honour of his late aunt. Patterson shared the video on social media and suggested to someone who expressed their difficulty with a recent loss to go out on the ice and make a heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I thought \u2018You know what? I think I could use a heart too,\u2019\u201d Patterson says. \u201cOur community is so divided right now and I just want some commonality to come together. My heart is going out to all of the front-liners who have been in the trenches this whole time so that\u2019s where I\u2019m sending my love. And the idea is that whether you believe in God or the Universe or whatever,<br>it\u2019s just to send some love up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2022\/02\/Yf5Hq6iv-IMG_1157-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108920\"\/><figcaption>Love to Above organizer Karen Patterson (centre) with participants (from left) Ursula Trescases, Katherine Craine, Kimberly Davis, and Patti Hanrath (Hilary Hilton)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Patterson remarked on how the event created an opportunity for people to unite and share their stories and their reasons for sending love. She hopes the hearts will stay where they are and that people will come to add to them throughout the winter. She says she would love to come back in the near future and see that the size and number of hearts have grown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt would be lovely if they stood here for the rest of the winter, and people come and add to it or whatever, and it could be a community love fest,\u201d she chuckles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are passing by Avery Beach boat launch, consider adding a heart to the collection to help the love grow.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does one properly process and heal from trauma, hardships, and loss?
