Gratitude With The Years

Thank you for all my beautiful Birthday messages; it's such a blessing to have community near and far orbiting our light together.

Getting older is a true soul journey walking in wiser shoes literally and figuratively 🤣 and yet still trying to remember all we have learned in the steps we have taken before, always being humbled by all the daily lessons.

Knowing when to shine,  holding space for others to shine, honoring all those who walk before us who need to keep shining.

And truly being grateful each day for all the gifts that we are given. This body, this heart, this land, this community and all the lives within one life.

As my sweet friend Uni said it so perfectly,

“Living the prayer of your ancestors and the dream of your soul.”

Getting older with grace is a true practice. As you watch your face and body change and the things you once enjoyed now seem so out of reach.  While the things you enjoy today seem so simple.

Watching my daughters youthful energy, gorgeous hair, as I look at her in awe as she grows into a little woman. Trying to stay grounded in confidence and strength for her and for myself. Being grateful for where I am and the road I have traveled. So much beauty in growing older.

A friend of mine turned me on to finding inspiration and I created this board that I look at every year. Inspiration for growing wiser and happier with grace. An invitation to be authentically yourself in every way.
