With our recent move in walking distance to the beach, I was really in need of some self reflection. As with many of life’s changes, I was faced with a roller-coaster of emotions. I sought to find comfort in Mother Natures’ many resources.
I wandered around my new neighborhood for a bit, and found myself tucked away in the sand, in the exact place I frequented daily during my pregnancy with Veda. Over four years later here I am. Although in the exact same location, I am in a completely different place. Before the birth of my “little guru” I traveled to some of the most beautiful places. All on my own. I journeyed through countless cities and countries, full of curiosity and wonder. Although I felt a sense of euphoria a number of times, no matter how immense the beauty--- I felt alone an overwhelming amount of times. I was often inwardly ashamed of these feelings, thinking myself ungrateful.
It wasn’t until my “free” time was stripped from me (in the most loving manner), that I began to see quality time with oneself as a treasure to be uncovered often. ....
