New Moon, New School Year, Tears of Gratitude

I don't exactly know how I got here... I think to myself...but yes I do. This year there was some usual pre-school anxiety that a lot of parents experience because mornings are different when school is in. Summer life is no longer. This year after I saw them off to school, I was filled with so much gratitude for the humans my kids are, they have both reached this responsible stage, where I am just so proud of them for going out in the world to spread their light.
Parenting was often a hard journey for me because I just never trusted in myself that I was doing the right thing. I second-guessed myself, I was obsessed with keeping my kids safe. This is the first year that I can fully trust they are resilient and strong, they are out in the world paving their way.
I have to give myself a bit of credit here, this gratitude and trust has opened up because of the nervous system work I have been doing for myself. When I have a strong foundation I know that I can hold space for my kids no matter what comes up. Will they have stress...yes, Will they go through hard times...yes----can I prevent this...no. I can however trust myself to be able to hold space for them to experience any feelings that they need to so that they can build resiliency in their own self trust.
I am reflecting deeply on the different feelings and the strength I am feeling today. I have so much gratitude for my journey...If I had not experienced the lows that I had, I would not fully appreciate the place I am in right now.
If this story resonates with you, If you are feeling a ball of nerves every time you send your kids out into the world, no matter what age they are, you can ease that. I can hold space for you to build more trust and resiliency within you so that you can be a solid foundation for them to come back to.
My offerings of Somatic Energy Healing and Connect to Your Soul sessions can help you move into a deeper alignment with your foundation. I sit here with a full heart, truly so appreciative that I have these gifts and the space to share them with you... I could not wish for more :)
