Forty-one
It’s only taken me four decades to learn how much I can let go.
What I can truly hold: my mindset, my reactions, aligned action, and how I spend my time, also who I allow into the softness of my days.
And how heartbreakingly right it is when the things I thought I wanted drift away, only to return in new and unexpected forms.
Life is simple these days.
Me and my nearly seven-year-old boy, keeping me suspended in humor, wonder, and awe.
An ever-growing jungle of house and office plants.
A table full of friendship - decades of it, from every corner of my life. Hallelujah.
People I truly love to work with.
Grace in hidden places.
A stillness I’m still learning to embrace, especially at night when the quiet is the loudest.
A tender approach to mothering alone.
Finding my own voice in all things.
A life threaded with meaning and the simple practice of loving others well.
Whatever this next year brings, I’m here for it.
Thank you, life.
And thank you Anya McInroy Photography (📷) for spending time with me - as you do in each new chapter of my life.
