Today started off extremely rough for me. I was spiraling in negative self-talk and feeling low. I wanted the feelings that I was having to be gone. I was grateful that I had the space in my day to just be with myself. I thought that showing up for this podcast that had been rescheduled 2 times already was the only thing that I really needed to get done today and after that I'd relax for the rest of the afternoon.
What really changed my day around was a meditation on healing the inner child by Londrelle. In the 13 minutes that I sobbed and reminded young Kharena of how safe she is, my day changed paths. Londrelle ends the meditation by saying “enjoy your life” and it felt like a personal message. I wrote it on my kitchen whiteboard and decided that was exactly what I would do. I chuckle at the idea that I needed Londrelle to tell me that, but I did.
I didn't feel like being social, but I needed it. I needed laughter. I needed the reminders on how we honor ourselves. I needed my girls.

Next, I'm going to draft a mission statement for motherhood, homeschooling, and life. I loved hearing that Shahida returns to her mission statement on homeschooling when she is feeling the stress of it. It has inspired me to write my own! I have been slowly researching homeschooling and feel called to it for Sage. So, it is time to take stock of what's in this head. I'll be back next week with a draft to share. I've decided that it will take up space in my spreadsheet with my goals because I look at that weekly. Stay tuned and enjoy your life! I plan on it.
