Show Me the Way

Life points you in the right direction. If, any only if, you let it.

We meddle,

we settle,

we avoid and talk over.

Yet, this life will point you in the right direction,

If you listen,

are open to the risk,

are willing to see the possibility.

If, and only if, you let it.

One of my biggest lessons from reading @brenebrown book, ‘The Gifts of Imperfections’, she literally has a chapter titled “Cultivating play and rest: letting go of exhaustion as a status symbol and productivity as self-worth”... And this is a lesson I keep learning. Let’s create a cool conversation around worth. How can we measure our worth BEYOND work? For me, I can measure the quality time I have spent with my family, anything I did in the name of self care, a deep convo with a friend, time in nature, make outs with my husband, and answering the question: “did I take a vacation?” Share below!
We went for a walk before I left town and she stopped to talk to this massive pine tree across the road. She walks across the grass gave the tree a pat pat and said “you’re my best friend. We can be best friends forever. I love you, I love you so much tree”. Followed by a couple more taps, picked up a branch and gave it a little high five, as if using a similar vessel to connect or create her own limb and then waved good bye. I stared at her in awe. I looked at Chris and whispered, “holy shit, we are doing something really right”. I went through trying to figure out how. Was it ‘The Lorax‘ Chris loves to read to her? Was it our hikes when we touch the trees and feel their aliveness together? Is it her name? Oh wait. I know what it is. It’s magic. It’s my children teaching me again and again and being so wise and getting things I have forgotten or even never knew. I said I want to be best friends with the tree, too. She said I could and then listed each of us and the dogs as her best friends, too. Awe. I have been searching and really prioritizing seeing moments of awe. There it was. There it is.

I am well aware that I am my own worst critic. And when I do that, well, I become your worst critic, too. Because here is the deal, when I get in a pattern of judging my own self, it is all too easy to start comparing, despairing and yes, judging you. And it’s not you, it is all me. Puke. I feel like there are two sides of me, like an inner Gemini up in my mind. There is the woman who loves supporting other women, believes there is room for all of us and that I so belong. And then, there is the grouchy gal that has gone into scarcity mode, fears she will never have enough, and starts getting mad at your posts, your amazing trip to Moab or your incredible relationship with time and your really clean house. They both reside here, in my mind. Do you have both? The metaphorical Gemini within? My work. My massive work is to continue to choose to listen to the support, abundance and belonging. To recognize when I have gone to the scarce side of life as it always shows up in my body as tense shoulder and even a tense butt. To shift again and again to the choice to love myself and you. It’s big work. And damn it feels so much better on the supportive belonging side. Like a million times better. The choice. It is always there in my body, in my language, in my actions. Making that choice to belong even now as I type this to you from the toilet in PJs, not that cute couch in those jeans. 💚 Photo x @taylercarlislephotography
Today our Nora girl is ONE! She came into the World so quick and made her presence known. She loves being with her family and Evi is so protective and calls them best friends. It is interesting navigating time with two kiddos, balancing the communication and listening of each child, time together and time individually, and being a Mama and an entrepreneur and a wife. Whoa. And what I love about Nora is she doesn’t care if you’re stressed or need to post on instagram or have a client call, she demands presence. She always has with eye contact and singing songs together or crawling right up into my arms. She reminds me what matters and is really challenging me to create structures that support our family flow and presence. I’m so grateful and some times annoyed, not with Nora but with myself, as this is the lesson I keep learning again and again and again. Thank you for being demanding, Nora. Thank you for reminding us to slow down. Thank you for the nightly wake up calls to spend more time together...sort of. And thank you for joining us right on time. Our Nora bird, one!
Almost forgot how much I love the beach. Almost. Happy Memorial Day everyone. Huge gratitude to and remembering those who have sacrificed for our families. ❤️
