living the days that lay ahead


lately i've been sitting and having some major, life changing thoughts. i've also been having some crazy dreams, every night. am i on the cusp of something big? this year feels huge for me on so many different levels- growing as a mother, as an artist, and as a friend. deepening my spiritual practices just seems like a piece of a puzzle on this journey.

i'd like to say it's been easy. all this growing and changing. but with change and growth comes accountability. and some days are not easy at all. the days when i feel like a less-than-stellar mom, when i question the validity of my work. when i worry what people think about the path i'm walking. when i question the give and take.

and then there are those other days. those days that completely shine. the days when a friend calls just to tell me that she's proud of me. the days that i feel cradled and cared for. the days when i look around me and see the most incredible individuals, sharing my life with me. the days that i feel better than i've felt in forever. the sweetest part is in the knowing that there's a lifetime of these days spread out before me, just waiting to be lived.

i can't wait to live them.
