Perspective is everything. Whatever is in your bubble is where your energy should go. ✌🏻✨

Focus on what matters!

There is a quiet kind of grief that comes from the life you imagined but have not yet lived. The timeline you expected. The milestones you thought would already be behind you. The version of your story that looked so certain in your mind.

Grieving that vision does not mean you are ungrateful for the life you have. It simply means you are human. We all carry hopes about how life might unfold, and when things take a different path, it is natural to feel that loss.

Give yourself permission to acknowledge that grief without comparing your journey to anyone else’s. Your path is still unfolding in ways you may not yet see.

There is a difference between forgetting and not thinking- and both can have unwanted outcomes.
There also is forgetting and deliberately choosing not to remember – and both can have unwanted outcomes.

So, where do we store our unwanted outcomes?
As a woman, I know exactly where mine lands - it settles into my old bones, makes them crabby and noisy. It sometimes moves into my belly, my heart and mind.

This is where mindfulness is the game changer.
A pause.
A breath.
A moment of consciousness you may have thought was long gone.
This stop gap is much easier than pulling your foot out of your mouth.
Few things are truly forgotten, most things are right there, under the first fragile layer of our skin.
Choosing to forget is much easier after we have addressed what needs to be resolved.

Perfect time to do some editing.

Honestly we should never be done editing.

Growth is another one of those human conditions.

The Process of Unravelment. Fascinating topic. Like de conditioning. The process of deconstructing previous thoughts process, mindsets, beliefs systems, act. Very much like that ball of yarn.

HHHMMMMM.......

I get that. I really do. Some days it does feel like that.
And I want to gently push back on the idea that grief is just this lifelong sentence of repeated devastation.
Because when we frame it that way, it starts to feel like doomsday. Like something dark that’s just going to stalk us forever.
Grief isn’t a punishment.
It’s not proof that we’re broken.

It’s a human condition.

It shows up anytime life doesn’t meet our expectations. When someone dies. When a relationship changes. When our health shifts. When the future we imagined disappears. When we realize life is not going the way we thought it would.

That means everyone will meet grief at some point. Not because they failed. Not because they’re weak. But because they loved. Because they hoped. Because they cared.

What if grief isn’t here to break us over and over?

What if it’s more like that friend we didn’t invite but who keeps showing up anyway. And instead of locking the door, we learn how to let it sit with us.
Some days it’s loud. Some days it’s barely there. But it’s not always catastrophic.

When we bring awareness to it — instead of bracing against it — something shifts.
We can say, “Grief is here today.”
Not, “My life is ruined.”
Not, “I will always feel this broken.”

Just… it’s here.
And I’m still here too.

Still breathing. Still whole. Still capable of moments of peace in the middle of it.
Grief doesn’t have to be the headline of our entire existence.

It can be part of the story without being the end of it.

My daughter turns 17 today and it’s hitting. The grief.

Unexpected as per usual but present. So I am honoring it by talking about it today.

The last birthday my son Anthony celebrated was 17. Lola made him a strawberry cake and he got a puppy. His dog Mikkel who also passed in that damn car accident. So it’s hitting.

Lola was 10 when Anthony hopped over, Kavi was 10 when he hopped over. It hits today.

Lola is 7.5 years younger than Anthony to the day. 3/3 and 9/3. It’s hitting today. Anthony is 24.5 today.

I’m not gunna say I hate this because I know… but I don’t love all the hits. At least I’m not loosing my breath.

I know my kids here grieve also. I know Lola does in her own way. She Is fierce because of her brothers and she knows that. It is hitting.

I grieve regularly friends. I am human and I am balancing what I know to be true and the pull of motherhood demanding my children be here.

I’m sad I feel this but also I know why. And I know it will pass.

17 is a crazy number to trigger someone but that’s the fun stuff grief gives, we literally have no clue what it’s gunna do next, what trigger it will latch onto.

Also why being mindful of your grief helps immensely. I know what’s going on so it’s manageable today.

🙏🏻❤️
