Funny how as we age, things can reoccur and suddenly have new meaning or sense. Realization. I realized that while I walk through this challenge with this person, I will come to love her more deeply. I realized that what I want may also give me what I don't want.
There are raw moments of truth, struggle, unknowns and what-ifs. It is hard. We are both in pursuit of the same goal and sometimes I want what's good even more than she.
Her success and effort to have peace with her family, to be strong and believe in herself is like sunshine. That very desire and success, is what will set her free. And then, she may be done with me.
It's the realization that her peace and rising will be a deep aching and tiny sting to my soul. It's this little wrestle between my heart and mind that I recognize this go-round. My heart wins! I promise not to feel broken. I celebrate the journey, I will embrace the sting. I will know we are both more no matter where we go.

When my boy does something I connect with so much my inside just squeals! I cannot stand the excitement. For me, it is that entrepreneurial spirit, that venture with an idea. A late night must do. Because.
I have this oddity (perhaps) that when anyone is staying up late, burning the midnight oil it just makes me want to know what they stay up late for. I love that passion. The heat that burns in people like roaring fire. And sometimes, we dont know its there. Maybe they dont know it's there. But it nags them, no doubt. I don't even mind if when conversating, their mind wanders away into their must do. That's purpose. Somewhere in there is the link to their purpose.
Tonight I am grateful to see his passion. To know, even if only a minute spec of his purpose, his heart is happy. He has fire. He knows it, and so do I.

Do you ever just have that moment...where someone tries so hard to rise above their crap? And they do it! They manage...if even for a moment to just be their best and better!? It kinda makes me want to cry...I just want to say " you are enough...you are more than enough"! It's like they did way more than someone who had things easier. It's like they maybe had to think about it and be intentional and maybe even risk a little piece of themselves just to be vulnerable enough to give. It is the best moment ever...especially when it is a child! Hope. Grace. Love.

Some things just never get old. Lavender essential oil was my first favorite essential oil....and honestly, I still LOVE it! I almost feel boring sometimes admitting that. I mean we have soooo many options from here to the Middle East! And while you're at it...indulge in a bubble bath and moisturize yo' hide! But honestly, don't you have to admit...this is a great GO-2-EO. Love it!
