Blessed times.
Tonight, as I was preparing you both for bed (you were giggling at your sister as she was jumping up and down on the bed), I had a thought. How lovely our lives are right now. No, this is not a new thought. I think it every day. But on days like today (Canada Day) when I’ve spent time with other adults in a social setting and we’ve had a particularly error-free day, my heart could burst. I thought to myself, I have to capture this for you to read one day so you can sense the emotion of life at this moment in time.
You have come into the world at a particularly awkward and disconnected time in society and the world at large. Today we celebrated our country, as we do every year on this day. We live in a country that is both beautiful, opportunistic, and relatively safe, and internally ready to burst volcanically at the seams…politically and socially speaking. It’s a weird time to be an adult. We’ve experienced a blissful life without complication, that is until we were forced to look hard enough to see the corruption within just a few short years ago when the world stopped (ask me about this when you’re ready). I’ll just say this - all the world’s problems are coming to a head NOW. It’s bizarre, but absolutely necessary.
Anyway, all that crap aside, I’ve been fortunate enough to continue to live a blissful existence for many reasons, but mainly because of you and our family. Without realizing it, many people look at their lives and think they’re either fortunate or they were dealt a bad hand at life, or somewhere in between from day to day, week to week, and year to year. Luck has nothing to do with it. We chose our place in the world before we entered and our free will gives us a “choose your own adventure” path to follow within that framework.
Now, I didn’t come up with this theory on my own. This type of thinking has flourished and become abundant in the online space and in many circles just in the past couple of years. We, as a collective consciousness, are realizing just how this thing called life works. More and more people are opening up about the importance of deep connection, introspection, compassion, and intense growth. It’s no secret that we were guided here to do just that - grow and experience - but now more than ever the world is sick of being sick and tired of just being, and ready to start living their purpose through a heightened connection between the physical and spiritual worlds we dance between. It’s a magical time, which is why you’re here. You and your sister are part of the new wave of beings who will allow us to embody that state much more quickly. Quite obviously, you are magic.
Since my early thirties, I’ve found myself in my “flow”. The past ten years have been the most challenging for me, yet also the most rewarding. “Fun” looks and feels different to me than it once did - it’s more real than it is forced, and true to me and who I am. Fun comes from leaning into the things I’m meant to be doing. As I’ve relaxed into my state of consciousness or being over longer periods of time, I’ve been able to see how I’m being guided. Whenever I step into that wavelength two things happen - life becomes easier and I am automatically following my heart’s desires.
I’m not the only one I know who knows how to do this and I urge you to find ways to get into your life’s groove. Other women I have in my close circle, who are also now mothers, experience much the same thing - massive transformation and readiness to become parents, intentional conception and/or relationships, and intense personal growth. I’ve more recently become close to a few women who are new moms themselves, and it’s a true gift to experience this aspect of life with them. It’s especially nice that we’ve already connected because our values are aligned, and then we’ve watched each other grow to be ready to become parents…et voila, nous sommes ici. This blessing is one to be cherished. These women you know as aunts, guides and leaders of the strong, feminine women among us who have taught you what it is to be a soul in female human form. Though you are still very young, I am confident the role these women will play for you, as even if you may not experience them throughout your life, their teachings and support to me will forever live on in you.
Everything we experience in life - the people, places, and things we cherish - is meant for us. Divine timing and plans are laid out for us and when days like today leave big kiss marks on our hearts, we know we’re right where we need to be. Every day I have no doubt, as I look at all of you here at home, that I’m in the right place.
