Warm greetings to all,
I am finding this beautiful place for the first time. As a mother, woman, friend and human being, I have looked for who I am and where I belong for as long as I can remember. Measuring myself against the yardsticks of others and seeing myself as short of who I thought I should be. No one imposed their opinions of my worth (or lack of it) into my experience; I did that. Twisted myself into some kind of crazy pretzel, until I couldn’t even recognize who I had become. And now, at this time in my life, as a single mother of four amazing, intentional human beings, I have learned to be tethered only to the weight of my own soul and the beautiful world around me. To listen to the windswept sounds of my own connection to the universe, and to trust it will guide me to a life of compassion and kindness toward all with whom I am privileged to connect. And so now, to be a part of this lovely community is right on time. I am thankful to all who are here and truly looking forward to being a part of something much greater than myself. We add our light to the sum of light, yes?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Julie
