What We’re All Longing for…..

Valentines Week! Ahhhh, what a sham. Don’t get me wrong, I leaned into Valentine’s Day this year, which is rare for me. My husband and I had a deal to not buy into Hallmark holidays for many years (overpriced flowers and cheesy cards). I don’t know what swept over me. I got into celebrating my loves with little red foil covered candy, bath treats and cheesy cards. I created a Valentines-day themed yoga routine for the littles and it was so joyous. Ahhh. And then I got some heart wrenching news. News I’m still brought to tears by. And it reminds me of an article a friend referred me to recently. That with the bitter is the sweet. Always. My love and I went to see a movie tonight, The Green Book. I won’t bore you with my summary of the story (it’s fantastic, go see it). But it also filled my eyes with tears but now with happy tears. We all want to be seen. For someone to know us so well, all it takes is a glance. To feel connection. So I will continue to make connections with every dear soul I get the honor to meet and to connect with. And I will continue to feel the sadness of this recent loss until the sadness lifts.
