resonance with motherhood

I met a good friend for coffee a few weeks ago, which was six weeks into motherhood. The first thing she said to me, while wrapping me in a big hug, was “have you gone through a total metamorphosis or what?!”.

🦋 I am different. I am a changed Being with clarity about what is important and what is not, about what is worthy of my time and what is not, about what is in alignment and what is not, about what I stand for and what I do not. Although I have often felt connected to this type of barometer for myself, motherhood has allowed me to embody what is truly important to me at a deep level.

I am in resonance with motherhood. I am living my days in three hour increments of nurturing the baby- feeding, diaper changing, rocking, snuggling, putting him down for naps. I am also nurturing myself- free writing in the wee hours of the morning, intentionally connecting with Soul; going on walks in the beautiful warm Texas sunshine, watching the trees come alive again with new Spring leaves; creating a vision for my family and my home.

This is resonance. Aligning my energy by doing things that bring me joy, simply because they bring me joy. It is a more simple way of living, and it’s what is important to me now. I have never been happier in my entire life.
