Our Mini Getaway

23 July

This last month or so has felt pretty intense. I've really felt the need to recharge time and this week felt the perfect time to head up the coast for some soulful living.

I have this beautiful friend whom we stayed with for our trip. We went for long walks together with our kids, they picked flowers for my hair and we chatted and reminded each other that we are both doing a great job at this thing called Mamahood. Feeling pretty blessed to have friends like these.

When we arrived home, I slept a deep, dream-filled sleep and awoke the next day feeling so much lighter. The heaviness I'd been feeling had melted away; healed by friendship, nature and self-acceptance.

With this new energy came a lightness of Spirit in latest painting as well. Before I left home I'd felt stuck with this piece and now ... well she's just blossoming beautifully.

Life is full of mysteries.
