Honouring Your Heart Today

Today would have been my mom's 75th birthday. These milestones remind you that grief often lingers beneath the surface, whether you acknowledge it or not. When she found out she was sick, she said she wanted to be around to turn 75, but that wasn't the plan. I am happy that she is no longer suffering. 

I'm currently on a little road trip adventure. I do this pretty often, and I'm sure that my free spiritedness comes in part from my mom. She definitely marched to the beat of her own drum. There's a lot to work through, but for now, on her birthday, while I spend time in nature with my best gal, I'm choosing to remember the good times. ​

Today I'm going to take it slow, check in with how I'm feeling, honour whatever comes up, and enjoy where I am. I am reminding myself of the things that I want to focus on in this new season of life…

I want to embrace peace and quiet. I want to lean into adventures. I want to lead with authenticity. I want to create opportunities for connection and self-care.

Sending out lots of love to anyone who has a complicated relationship with a parent or is missing a loved one right now.

Until next time. Stay grounded and stay bright,
Kelly
