I’ve always loved being a mom, and I’ve always loved my little family.
I consider myself lucky because for years, it was all I had.
In the middle of chaos, and in the middle of everything else going wrong, there were moments I could sit in my living room with my heart overflowing because of something someone said, or did…or sometimes it was just because we were all together.
Not everyone gets that gift.
I still hold the memories sacred.
I had to give those precious moments up in order to rearrange my life.
But I will never forget them.
Sometimes when we move on, we have to leave some of the good things behind too.
Life is a matter of balance and finding your way.
When you make the choice to start a new job, a new life, or a new path there will always be pieces you don’t want to give up.
These pieces are the ones that hold you there long after your time has expired.
“A star falls from the sky and into your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. And then you have to put it back into the sky. And it’s the most painful thing you’ll ever have to do and that you’ve ever done. But what’s yours is yours. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands. And one day, it’ll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won’t have to put it back in the sky again.”

The only way to let go is to trust that when it comes back together on the other side, it’s going to somehow be even better than it was before.
And the truth is, my family will never be the same as it was.
But it was going to change anyway as the kids grew up and moved on.
Now I’m present and whole hearted and at peace inside myself all of the time and I’m showing my kids how to live a whole hearted life.
And when it comes down to it, that’s the kind of life I want them to have… not stolen moments in a living room.
PS. I’m building a course to teach big hearted people how to live more whole heartedly. If you would like me to drop you a line as more details become available, please sign up for my private email list below.
