I have been thinking a lot lately about the journey that we take to get from one point to another. It is not linear, and I had thought myself a linear-type of person. It is not about the destination or the product, and I had always thought that I was a destination type of gal too. What I am seeing about motherhood, daughterhood, sisterhood, personhood is that there is so much to be learned at each step... if I will just let myself slow down and figure it out. There is so much to be seen, and taken in if I will just remember that "it is supposed to be fun." There is also fellowship and enough room for all of us, if only I remember that our journeys take different paths at times.
I am still working on the things that need to be culled and purged from this path I am on now. I am feeling the sweetness of carrying around less (20+lbs thanks goodness), but also that illuminates other things that were formerly precious and that I can be rid of. I feel keenly that I need to get on with being myself, but that there is a process to it that can't be rushed.
There is anticipation, dreaminess, and nervous optimism for the future.
I am busy Dreaming Bigger.
Nice to see you here.
