I cried for most of this morning. Heavy wet sobs that rose out of me against my will. It came in unexpectedly but it made so much sense to me. ⠀⠀ I’ve struggled with a feeling of heaviness in my heart and body for weeks even months now. I couldn’t quite understand what it was that was weighing me down. My nights have been restless and filled with troubling dreams that made no sense. Last night was no different. ⠀⠀ This morning my husband shared a video with me of our children playing outside. The video was from about 5 years ago and as soon as I saw it I understood why my heart was heavy. ⠀⠀ In the video they seemed so small. And it seemed like it was just yesterday. Now they look like young adults. They have grown into amazing people but my heart longed to hold their sweet little fingers in my hand and kiss the top of their head as I did when they snuggled up to me. ⠀⠀ I realized in that moment that I had not grieved the loss of those little people. Yes they are still here but not as they were. Those little children that played in the snow that day in the video, I will never see them again. And my heart breaks at the realization. ⠀⠀ Grief is an amazing process. One that I have come to hold a great deal of respect for. Grief has the power to refine us and make us strong, more loving and compassionate people. Every time I have faced the grieving of a loss in my life, either a person, a place, a time or a season in life, I am reminded of the ultimate truth about the meaning of life. ⠀⠀ Truely the only thing that matters in this world is love. Our relationships and connections with others is the only thing that matters. I will grieve my loss and I will use that grief as a reminder to be present and honor the love I have for others. ⠀⠀ I shared my experience this morning in my story. #motherhood#grieving#grievingprocess
I had a dream last night in which I was given a powerful truth. In the dream I was with a person walking along the beach. Suddenly a huge wave rose up from the ocean. It was probably a 100 feet high as it roared towards us. I was overcome with terror and ran as fast as I could away from the water but the person I was with kept walking as if nothing was wrong. The wave crashed into the shore swallowing the entire beach just as I made it past the dunes and behind a large wall. Moments later the person I was with emerged from the beach soaked to the bone. Yet, they were still completely calm as if nothing had happened. When they met up with me I asked them if the wave had gotten them. They said yes, it had tossed them around and they nearly drown they’d thought that they would die. I looked at them puzzled and asked how in the world they were so calm after nearly dying, and they replied “I didn’t die” I thought of this dream all evening. It’s the 5th dream I have had of water trying to swallow me up. Water often represents worry and fear in our waking life. I do tend to fall into patterns of worry and that has been the case lately. But the message in this dream finally came to me this evening as I pondered it. The message was, what good does worry do you? You either die or you don’t. My worry isnt dying. I think death in the dream simply represents worst case scenarios and lord knows I have plenty of those in my head. The message is clear to me now. There’s no use in living out these fears in your head a million times over and reliving negative experiences a million times over. Why let the possibility of suffering create perpetual suffering? It seems insane doesn’t it. #bepresent#thepresentmoment#worrynot
This weekend I took some time to rest and care for myself. And it was not what I had expected! It’s not often that I schedule whole weekends to devote to my own wellbeing. ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ ▫️ I didn’t go to a fancy spa. I made my home the spa. I focused my intention solely on caring for my body and going inward. I did a 48 hour liquid fast in this time as well. Two whole days of me time; of taking it easy.... I wish I could say that the weekend left me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated but that wouldn’t be the truth. Actually, what I learned is that my well-being needs more than just a weekend devoted to it once in a while. My well-being must become a daily priority. ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ ▫️▫️▫️ So often we see these fads online promising to restore our vitality within 48hours if we simply follow these steps. Sure I felt some relief. I felt good about the time spent on myself but once it was over I thought to myself “now what?” I needed the disappointment of still feeling tired and worn even after a weekend of R&R. It is a wake up call...one I seem to have at least once a year 🤦🏻‍♀️ ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ ▫️▫️▫️ The truth is. The only way to feel our best is to give ourselves the best every day and stop putting our own well-being on the back burner. #wellbeing#selfcare#homespa#fast#reset#restorevitality#liquidfast
I have faced struggle that I never imagined I could overcome. Substance abuse, mental and emotional trauma, homelessness, teen pregnancy, and the death of those closest to me just to name a few. • Every time I thought That I couldn’t go on, I couldn’t get through it. And every time life went on and I overcame. • I realized that I had to make a choice. Life wasn’t going to stop and let me wallow in my suffering. I could either choose to move forward and leave my pain where it belongs, in the past, or I could try to carry it with me. I tried that for a while. I carried that pain and all it did was make me feel torn and stretched between what was and what is. It wore me down as I tried to keep up with life while carrying all of these burdens. • I chose to be here, in the present and to honor the lessons I’ve learned from my struggle but leave them in my past.
