Do not rush, do not run, allow your energy to shift and your heart to open to the pain, for it is in the feeling that the healing occurs.
As a natural parent I have given at such a deep level to my role as mother. It is something that I am hugely proud of, for it has been an intense time of facing truths, healing family history so my son would not carry that burden, and of changing our lives for the better. Now the woman role is calling me, for she knows it is time. It is time to allow this new cycle of parenting. One where there is more and more space for individuality, less need yet still the same love.
I feel lost a lot of the time, an emptiness that food, music, company and “stuff” cannot fill, for it is not meant to. So today I accept how I feel and I ask others to do the same. Just allow how you are feeling today, right now, allow.
This place cannot be rushed for it is not meant to be. NOTHING is meant to be rushed. Our children have taught us that and so much more. Be gentle, be kind to yourself and day by day the emerging woman will guide us all.
So to all the wonderful parents out there, I want you to know it is OK to feel, to hurt, to cry. You are not alone, far from it. There is no need to fill this space, there is only the present moment and you.
Let it guide you, heal you, and support you all on this magical journey of parenting yourself.
