Something important is happening
Open your heart to the universe.
Trust that something is always happening.
And often, it’s much different and better then you think.
-Melody Beattie
I just love her book, Journey to the Heart. Every time I’m uncertain or just feeling like things are spinning out of control, she brings it all home and distills a sense of peace and calm in my heart with simple words. My body; my heart is telling me to slow down. Don’t push, just settle in and find a sense of calm. All the while my mind is still running a million miles a minute. Insomnia and I have become good friends. Work calls and I’ve scheduled sessions and workshops far into this pregnancy, almost tricking my mind into believing that things are not changing. Life is as usual. But the little bean is making it’s presence known and giving me fair warning that the rat race must end. I need to slow down and soak in the changes that are happening. The transition that is about to happen. Find peace and grace to work through that transition at a pace that is healthy for me. I know from before that it takes time. Time to heal, time to find balance, time to adjust to the new normal. I’ve been here before and yet I think that I can trick myself into thinking I have it all together. I don’t. But the beautiful part is that, it’s ok I don’t. I haven’t walked the road of two kids yet. It’s new and I shouldn’t have it all figured out. I will find my way. I will slow down enough to enjoy those newborn snuggles and smells. I will slow down enough to fill D’s love tank as much as she needs while she herself transitions. I will give myself grace to not have it all figured out. I will give myself time to adjust, heal, and find my feet again.
