I am enjoying the sensations as they stir in me. Allowing the dream of more time immersed in nature as I fall asleep with my porch windows open to the sound of owl and wake to the sound of bird. And my mind drifts to gathering in circle and song and dance with other women. To calm and groundedness in nature as my children are free to move and play and explore, to read and rest đź’«

In my dedication to slowing down I decided to have simple breakfast today. Normally I cook something, eggs and beans, peppers etc. I am prioritizing nourishing, whole foods. Although I love hot breakfast, when it’s 4 of us in the small kitchen it’s just a fact that before I’ve eaten my nervous system needs less. (I will still cook and bake but will be mindful of when, how much I’m taking on and what time of my cycle.) So we put out a blanket and my son got out the scrabble game and we enjoyed the beautiful morning together. Simple, intentional, grounded 💕

I was responding to a Facebook post from a woman who very clearly saw me as someone who was seeing single mothers as damaged. Those were the words she wrote. And in that I noticed that we can come from the most loving part of ourselves and still the other person may not be able to feel that love. Why? Because we can only feel it to the extent we feel deserving of. So the question becomes, what is in your way? What can’t you see? Our opportunity is to be curious… to allow ourselves to question what is behind our moment of anger or justification… what is this part of me trying to defend? The softness in us is on the other side, that’s where our deserving lies. 💕
