Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.
Stay in this space until it’s all better, your heart is fuller and your mind is once again crystal clear.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.” Mark Twain

She is only 10 for a short time. Before you know it she will be off to her first prom with her first love. But for now, she loves flowers and wants a pony. She can’t stand to play with dolls, but she loves to dress up your golden retriever every night in a fancy hat and scarf. She makes necklaces with her small hands that look a lot like yours and your own mother’s hands. She has a million wardrobe changes a week and experiments with make up and being her won unique little person.
How will you remember her? Who is going to tell her story?

Nothing can stop time or the turning of the tides. The progression of life and all it’s forces are inevitable. Life. Death. Love. Sickness. Pain. Joy. Sunrises. Sunsets. They are all part of the cycle. You cannot prevent these forces from happening, no matter how hard you try to control them. Those walls you build are fragile and will eventually entrap you as the crumble down at your feet like an unstable sandcastle at the edge of a powerfully stormy sea.
The guiding lights are there. They shine the brightest in your heart. Friends and family. Children. Silence and stillness. They are there everyday gently reminding you: Be yourself – authentically you. Stand strong and know this too shall pass. This tide will go out. Perhaps it will come back again. But next time you will know this and you will be stronger. The important things will remain standing strong in your heart. Just let the tides carry out the fears and worries. Let the water wash away the uncertainty. That’s why the change exists – to make you stronger.
Follow the light. Surround yourself with it. Stop at nothing. Eventually clarity overcomes all and the ghosts of fear and uncertainty will subside.

It’s been busy around here lately. Like warp-speed-too-much-to-do-can’t-wait-until-bedtime busy.
So now, when we get the offbeat rainy day around here it feels like a free day. Lacrosse practice gets cancelled. Photoshoots are rescheduled. Outdoor parties and yardwork gets pushed to tomorrow. These days feel like stolen time in an otherwise over-scheduled life. And these are the times it seems simply perfect to catch up on the things that matter most. Sleep. Nourishment. Exercise. Quality time. While mother nature seems to be nourishing herself, I take a cue and work on just that – a little nourishment for my weary soul.
Some fresh, homemade chicken stock doesn’t hurt either.
