"Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments"
~Neil Strauss

Daily, I am putting my expectations in check. What I expect my 13 year old to do will lead to resentment every single time. Her brain is in expansion and pruning mode. She is learning time management behind the scenes. Meeting her in peace only builds stronger trust and honesty. That means I must drop my expectations and meet her where she is at, not where I want her to be. Easier said than done, but on the days that I succeed, we have open communication and connection. Connection with my 13 year old is a gift that I treasure. How much of our family conflict stems from the parent? Oftentimes, it's a high percentage. How many of us are willing to own it, apologize, and do better. Be better.

I love the many colors

Long days and short years. Willow is officially a freshman! She will be in color guard, and choir next year. I really can't wait to see what the next 4 years brings.

She finished out the year with a 4.0 and an amazing village of teacher/admins. Saying I'm proud is an understatement!

Harvested as many tomatoes that I could. I don't think my frost cloth will protect the last of my plants. So I guess two 5 gallon buckets worth will do. Lots will ripen and made into sauce and sandwiches, many will be fried up!

Still have onions, cabbage, collards, broccoli, carrots and beats in the ground.

This year was so full of abundance and I am so grateful.

This last month has been so heavy on my heart. Our world is hurting in so many ways. It is times like this that I turn to my garden. Thank God I have so many different ways to stay embodied, centered and regulated.

I couldn't love them any more. Took a breath in Estes this weekend. The sound of the elk in the background brought back so many memories. Colorado mountains hold so much magic for me.

We might get our first frost tonight or tomorrow. I really don't want my garden to be done, however there has been so much food to process I am feeling tired. Tonight I harvested my basil, covered the crops, roasted two huge bowls of tomatoes and only four more to go 😂

This year's garden has helped me navigate one of the hardest years of my life. I know this is why I cling to it, why I spend so much time in it even if I'm exhausted. It not only feeds us it feeds me, keeps me grounded, helps me stay on point with where I want to be. This year has brought more tears, forced me to find my power that I forgot existed within me and provides a safe space for me in days that I just need to cry. Today I learned of a friends passing, it is the second death in the last two weeks and the fourth one this year.
Colorado provides me with a true cycle of seasons that I can feel into, reminds me of the natural flow of life in ways that the tropics just never could. Humans are so convinced that we have any control in this life but we are so far from that as a truth. So I find myself hoping my garden will keep on, knowing it is almost time to place my focus elsewhere for a while.
Everyday Willow lights her Palo Santo stick, lights her candles and meditates. She says it makes her feel peaceful and drops her anxiety. Some days she invites me into her mediation time and for that I am grateful and an invitation I will accept every.single.time. I know it is helping her find acceptance and peace around the death of her friend.
So tonight as I cook down my tomato sauce I sit and remind myself of all the beauty that is in this world and feel into the gratitude that today my family is whole and here with me

The human body as a recorder, holding all of our experiences of health and overwhelm simultaneously. There is a blue print in which our inherent health resides. Every experience leaves imprints in our nervous system, psyche, and physical body. When we experience something that is similar enough to those imprints we will have an emotional or visceral response.

These are imprints that happened yesterday, last week, 10 years prior and can date back to conception. Understanding these responses gives us a chance to have authority over our lives. Gives us a lens into our unique wiring and attachment styles, a deeper understanding of our internal experience.
These imprints are jewels to our inner workings and ultimately our freedom when we learn how to be WITH our experiences as an empathetic witness.

We are not our anxiety our bodies are in a state of dis regulation. We are not a fixed thing, rather an ever changing and unfolding being.

This last year has triggered many old imprints that I had worked on over a decade ago. They are showing me now that there is still parts to witness and integrate. Overwhelm that never had a place to discharge. Emotions to great to hold, parts of me that unraveled and stayed that way. I give thanks to he wisdom of the recorder, my body, always steering me in a direction of health, and wholeness.
When we can be WITH the old in present moment we can release the chains that bind us.

Crying it out: A foundation for NPD and BPD

One of the ways children have to adjust to a new order is called 'letting them cry themselves out'.

The Mother puts the child into the crib at night to sleep. It is bedtime. But the sense of aloneness and the loss of contact with the mothers body terrifies the child, who begins to scream and cry.

No animal mother would fail to respond to a baby's cry. Some human mothers believe, however that to respond would be wrong. To give in to a child's crying will spoil the child. Besides, they have been told, crying is good for a child...

The first time this happens the child might cry for hours before falling asleep. The mother might think the child has learned a lesson, but, the child doesn't have the energy for a repeat performance...

After several experiences of this kind, the child learns to give up the struggle for contact with the mother. In effect, the child has cut off the longing for his contact and so no longer feels the pain of frustration.

A new reality in which the desire for intimacy and closeness is not expressed, has been accepted. The foundations for narcissism and the borderline personality have been laid.
