The Departure

My roots will continue to twist and extend during my growth.  On the same note, there is a certain amount of untangling that will occur and will be embraced.

The departure of being 'a life spectator' is something that will foster the emergence of becoming 'a life-participator.'  Participation obviously exists in my life, but not on the level where it is exclusive to my growth.  Tending to seeds and observing them sprout, while providing love and direction is not new to me, especially as a mother.  However, as I tend to my garden, I have discovered that I need nourishment too in order to provide the best environment for my daughters AND myself to thrive.

So, as each day I am blessed to wake up (Good Morning Sunshine!) and be alive, I will participate in activity that feeds my soul.

Yesterday was my first experience 'participating' and so, I did not think too much, rather just acted and found myself on a stand up paddle board, in the ocean, with my daughters 'spectating.'  It was more than just the ride, as it was my first glide.  Water is good for the soul.
