My journey in authentic vulnerability

I can only learn when I am willing to be taught.

There are a whole bunch of things to complain about in life. A long, detailed list can be drawn up of what’s wrong, missing, broken, out of place.

But I am loving the fact I get to choose – all the time – where my focus, my attention will be. I definitely don’t always choose wisely. There are times when I choose to sit in self-pity, linger down the passages of self-doubt and fear. But every now and then, I choose well ;-)

Right here, right now

This little girl serves as a constant – not always welcome – reminder to me:   this is the moment we are alive in, Mom, live in it! Fully occupy this space!

She does this so well ;-) she is loud and demanding and these traits are often seen as negative in our world. But she is showing me how these very traits get her some very precious attention in a very loud, busy family! She is so unashamed of her need.

Don’t you think that’s beautiful?

So much of the time I am second guessing my thoughts and my motives and she is just totally out there, giving herself fully to whatever moment or circumstance she finds herself in. Basically living a life where regrets are not possible, because there was nothing she missed, nothing she held back.

Beautiful!

Keep teaching me, even when I don’t want to learn. Just keep living life the way you do – because you are right!

This life is so rare and beautiful and so are YOU!

This life deserves your best, most beautiful self!

  1. Ah, this is delictable, in-the-moment expression. Exactly and a definite “I couldn’t agree more”> Mliss, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I love the reminder of being present in Now, a moment we have full apprehension in.
