As I sit down to express exactly how I feel, to be this incredible child’s mother, I’m at a loss for words. She’s adventurous, joyful, intuitive, strong-willed, kind, and quirky... and without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to myself and Cody.
I’m captivated by her little brain, and how she perceives this world that surrounds her. I’m in awe of how she problem-solves, and how quickly she learns. My biggest fear is that I won’t be able to keep up with her. That she’ll be confident and I’ll mistake that for her not needing me. That she’ll have secrets, and I’ll mistake that for her not trusting me. That she’ll become so intelligent, and I’ll feel inferior. I hope she always sees me as someone who cares for her, and wants the best for her. I hope my potential as her mom grows alongside her, and I’m able to adapt and shift as she does. The love I have for this kid is blinding, crushing, and terrifying. I’m completely aware that this is what it feels like, to be a parent. I hope I can keep up. And remember to choose love, patience, and respect. I guess I wasn’t really at a loss for words after all. I just needed to push past the feels, to figure out what I wanted to say. Happy Mother’s Day 💜

Who am i?I'm a busy gal with lots of things on the go. I'm a new mom, I'm a business owner, I'm a Canadian living in the Pacific NorthWest. I'm a wife, I'm a creative, free-thinking, wear-my-heart-on-my-sleeve Yogini who likes to write about whatever's on my mind. I carve my own path, and strive to live my life without permission or validation from others. I'm moved to tears when I get to witness those bold enough to step out of their comfort zones, and I'll passionately stand for anyone willing to be own their unique, authentic, genuine, vibrant self.
