Fall can be a time of evaluation. What do you say "yes" to and why? Truth will motivate more than any obligation. .

On days when I am frustrated that I did not complete my list; I pause, breathe deeply and cheer myself on by writing down all I did that day.
I mean EVERYTHING.
Feed the dogs.
Eat breakfast.
Wash and fold 3 loads of laundry
Drove kids to school
Texted a friend.
Texted my kids.
Drove to soccer.
Sat in my car by myself and closed my eyes for 10 minutes.
Took my son contact lenses.
Answered 10 e-mails.
Spent hour + on work projects.
Scheduled dentist appointments.
Etc.
We do an amazing amount. Can we look at ourselves with love even if the list isn't done & recognize our worthiness is unchanged even if all we did was breathe all day long.

In the conversation around reparenting, I have been mindful of how good parenting comes toward me as an adult. Yesterday good mothering came to me in the form if gentle touch in yoga. It was unexpected, kind and reached a need I didn't know I even had in that moment. Can we be aware of those moment Love sends to us and receive them with integrity?

We express it differently and we have experienced different levels of healing. Yet each person I have met, including myself, struggles in some way to honor their need. It is difficult to sit with ourselves, like we might with someone we love, and bless places of need. May we remember "I, too, am someone I am learning to love. My needs are valid and worthy."

I had an experience yesterday where I imagined walking my young self into a room and introducing her to safe people. Not perfect people, but people who are "safe enough" to warrant trust. My body and heart became more able to rest. May all the young places come to believe in trust.
