As we approach the end of 2024, I feel ready to get a little personal and share an update.
I am emerging with an experience I honestly doubted I would ever have in this lifetime: I’ve become a mother to a little boy 💛
While growing the most precious being I’ve ever laid my eyes on, I have felt immense feelings of gratitude, relief, protectiveness, love and amazement. Whoa. When the daily and inconsolable witching hour starts, I’m witnessing my own patience and strength. It’s hard.
I’ve also had to greet some of my ‘familiar old friends’ - as would call them - anxiety, worry, fear but also isolation and grief. Grief is a definitely a biggie.
Witnessing my body change (and yes, I loved being pregnant despite the physical limitations and ailments 🥲), learning to really (I mean really) slow down, and stepping into motherhood have been the most challenging yet exhilarating journey I’ve ever known. Despite the intensity of it all, I’ve chosen to be as mindful and present with it as possible 🥹
I’m only at the beginning of getting to know myself as a ‘mother’, and I’m curious how this new part will shape me — as a person, and in how my practice will evolve and deepen, so let’s watch this space 🙏🏼
So if I’ve been a little quiet on here, now you know what I’ve been up to 🌱
