Ever-Changing Role of Motherhood

Learning to Live My Life Fully For Me

I write this from 36,000 feet, overlooking gorgeous mountains. There is a pink hue and, just WOW.

I am en route to California.

It feels like a big deal to me for so many reasons.

I received a wedding invitation from a friend in 2020, during the pandemic. It felt like a distant desire to attend.

I really really wanted to go.

At that time, I wasn’t traveling anywhere, not even to see my mother. But I put the date on my calendar and held the intention to go. It was a year and a half away.

And today, here I am, on my way. It feels surreal that we have survived a pandemic (is it even over?).

I have had huge shifts in my life since that day in the pandemic when I posted this date in my calendar.

I hit a very big down at that time.

I thought I had hit my big down in 2018 when my last relationship ended, but there was more to go.

I was on my way alllll the way down. I willingly went.

The down brought me tremendous shifts as a woman and mother. My children were suddenly in their mid-twenties and the relationship was shifting.
