Two Truths

On rebirth and redefining balance:
On this day three years ago, my first born gave birth to her firstborn. I am a changed woman by witnessing and participating in everything that happened in that room. I was bathed in miracle and wonder.

Simultaneously, I was smack in the middle of what proved to be the heaviest year of my life - mentally and emotionally - for no “good reason”.
I was walking around in a fog of fear.

Fast forward to now (as if healing is ever fast) and I’m navigating this weird time feeling a lot more at peace than I would have believed possible three years ago.

It’s not because all my problems disappeared (um, a global pandemic = new problems). It’s because I’ve slowly been changing the thoughts I choose to believe. I’m better at allowing two truths that could seem to contradict each other space to just be.
“I am afraid...and resilient.
I am worried...and capable.
I am exhausted...and skilled.
I am freaked out...and contributing.”
Something like this is true for you too. The hard things you feel are real but they do NOT nullify everything in and about you that will carry you through this, whole and empowered.
