On Mother’s Day we wait. For others to see us doing everything. Giving everything. And I want to feel acknowledged, of course. But this year I added a layer.
I saw me.
I let myself zoom out and say, “I love the mother that I am.”
I am doing it all. I love them fiercely and fully. Every. Day.
I have expanded into a human with more capacity for empathy and love and patience and grace than I ever knew possible. It is because of them, but it is also because of me. Because of who I am. It expands out from the light inside of me. That love has flowed through generations of mothering. It is in my blood and it grows and grows and grows.
I am a wonderful mother.
I am not everything they need in every moment—I am not perfect. But, that is by design. I am modeling growth and forgiveness and resilience and love.
I am modeling coming back with repair and love. Always, always, always love.
I am modeling never losing access to the deepest, most loving parts of yourself, even when things are hard.
I am modeling seeing the parts of yourself that are spot on and naturally great and radiating light—and holding the parts that are tender and pokey and need work—and loving all of it.
I am modeling being able to say, “I love me. I love who I am as a mother.”
My babies, you can rest and still be loved.
You can bend and sometimes break. And still be loved fully.
You can mess up big and still receive warmth. The love never leaves.
You can hold yourself gently and still grow and grow and grow.
You are always loved.
Just like me. 💞
“Can I take a portrait of you with a cone on your head?”
Come to @harmoncollective tomorrow (Friday 3/20)from 11am-3pm for a “Fine Art Cone Portrait”.
I will be set up inside the @blackphin.orl common area making both digital and Polaroid portraits with my infamous cone.
Stop by, get a coffee, goof off, and get a fun portrait!
A few weeks ago I went on a journey with my dear friend and fellow coach, @heart.led.revolution . With her gentle wisdom, she guided me in beautiful moments of introspection, thoughtful unearthing of beliefs that no longer serve me, and permission to shed thoughts that are no longer my own.
This work not only fuels my own journey in self discovery, but also inspires the work I pursue with my clients. I never claim to have mastered all that encompasses the path of self-discovery, but I am always here to share what I’ve found to be true, what I’ve seen work for other—and help others find their path too.
We each have everything it takes inside of us, but we don’t have to journey alone. 💕
Life is about balance.
Movement is about balance.
Health is about balance.
Do what makes you happy, especially when life can sometimes be really hard✨
