Overflowing

I woke up this morning to a text message my eldest sent me in the middle of the night…here’s a small excerpt..

”You don’t use the things you’ve gone through to feel sorry for yourself, you use them to grow. That to me is definitely a trait of a strong individual. I don’t know what I would do without you!”

The text was quite lengthy and revealed what a smart and enlightened young lady I have for a daughter.

With so many changes happening in the world, some seem a bit lost, aimlessly searching for meaning and purpose in their life; searching for acceptance and acknowledgement. LOVE is the only way, LOVE transcends all barriers, and LOVE is the answer. Idealistic? Maybe!

True happiness reveals itself through small gestures like the one I received from my daughter this morning. She and I have overcome so much together and my only goal was to be an example of strength, determination, and love, as well as to teach her the skills she needs to be happy in life in whatever she does. It is not about chasing money or objects; nor is it about changing the world with one single act! It’s about community, compassion, empathy, and love! What my daughter doesnt know is that I learned these things from her. She has been my teacher and i don't know what I would do without her.

So much is happening, a shift in the collective consciousness. We can get lost in the fight for change, and although it’s important to stand up and make our voices heard, what's equally important is open ourselves up to the beauty and enormous amount of love that surrounds us!
