Letting Go ... and ... Holding On

 I just came back from an amazing nature hike

through the hills of O Neil.

I was able to reflect on our

summer coming to an end 

and

how far I've come in learning how to

hold on and let go.

 I have mourned for the passing of time

when my kids were 'mine'.

I have let go of regret and resentment

of feeling I had over invested in my children

at too high of a price to myself....

instead I realize 

I did what needed to be done at the time...

and I did it well

and I was fully invested

so now....

 I can more easily

let go

and hold on....

and see

what's next...

starting my career over 

at my age is 

humbling to say the least...

but I knew 15 years ago

when I made the decision to be a mom full time...

that this day would come

and I could do it

no matter how hard

because what I couldn't live with

was the feeling of ever having

short changed my children....

So today is a good day...

because

I have learned to appreciate 

my time of transition

to still hold on to my kids

while letting go..,

to welcome the challenge of

what's next....

yes, 

to everything there is truly a season....

wishing you love and joy

as you style your life
