🗣I am here to do better. As much as I can possibly control.
🙋🏻♀️I had a real heavy conversation with my daughter today. Emily is a spunky, sassy, funny and full of energy 8 yo. And in her 8 years of life on this planet, she’s been thru some THANGS. And because of this, her emotions are GRAND. Larger than life, baby. And so I had to hold space for her today, more than norm. And remind her, that I’m here for her. Always. To talk about feelings whether heavy or light, whenever. I did not have this encouragement growing up. My r-ship with my mom is not what I’ve built with my daughter. And for that, I am soooo thankful. I am thankful for the experiences and knowledge I’ve remembered from my ancestors which have allowed me to hold space for her and break away from trends that have held back my family emotionally for a long while.
🟣 I hope that you have someone that supports you, and holds space for you. I hope that you are able to break trends that you see do not benefit or suit you any longer. I hope that you maintain the courage to tread into this everyday work we call life.
