Month: June 2020

At some point, you will wake up–really wake up.

And you will feel a great relief as you let go of all the weight that has held you down–all the hesitation that dug in and held you back….

The air will seem lighter, and the sunlight will shine down brighter with more intensity and warmth.

And there will be a burning in your heart that starts to drive you toward all those ambitious goals you once considered lost dreams.

Drink it in. Let the revival happen.

Embrace your newly found strength and courage. You are waking up to a rebirth of soul.

Grow.

Bloom.

Shine.

This break of day brushes away all darkness.

This is the dawning of you.

 

 

When I look at Salty Mommy, I am a little sad and regretful and yet hopeful as well.  I started writing the blog after getting divorced.  It was helpful to have a place to share the hurt and confusion without letting anger creep into the posts.  It was a way to reflect and realize all that had happened–not just in my failed marriage but in my failed first attempts at love.  It was healing, but like so many other avenues of self-care, I stopped writing and just threw myself into working multiple jobs.  The posts that I did have on here were mostly lost when I transferred everything over to Word Press.  Although I could just re-upload or re-type the entries again, I think I am just going to move forward.  I will turn 50 in just a few weeks, and I am personally starting over in multiple areas of life so Salty Mommy is going to start over with me.

Isn’t it a blessing to be able to recreate ourselves?
