Missing Mom: Day 127

It is New Year’s Eve 2020, and I am struggling to let go.

2020 was the worst and I should be happy to transition but...

Leaving the past behind is so difficult - especially when the past has presented some of the best moments of your life. My mom loved so deeply and so well. Everything about her life was a blessing to me in one way or another. She has helped me to become the woman I am today. I would be nothing without her life and love. 

Life without her is weird. In this moment, a new year without her is unimaginable. 

But she has prepared me for this. I will get through it. I will; thrive in it. I will miss her but I will live, love, and continue to learn along the way. 

This was one of the last photos we took of mom before her transition. Her outlook on her future was so hopeful. One day as I was crying about what was to come, I asked her how she felt. She told me she “felt good” and that she “looked forward to what was to come.” 

I'm holding on to her words in this very moment and that is what I will take with me as this year ends and a new one begins. I’m going to look forward and be propelled by the life and love that she gave me over the past 42+ years.

HAPPY New Year!

☮️✝️💟

This jacket is taking too long for me to finish. I look at it and just can't touch it. . #Transparencymoment: I've been in a creative funk. . I still want to design and create and share my pretties. But I also have friends who have family that are dying or who have passed. . I was advised to create masks. There's no fabric in the stores. My sewing machine needs work. I need to relearn how to sew. All are excuses. I just don't want to. Not that I'm in my own world and not aware of what's going on but the spark to make them is not within me. . I feel guilty wanting to share my little pieces of art (to me) when others are worried about how to keep their home, feed their children or finally figure out the Pythagorean theorem for the sake of their child passing school. . It's all very stressful. And I do have my own stressors. But creating pretties is how I deal with them. . Every piece is for sale, as always. Kind words and sharing makes my heart sing too. . God bless you all. #stress #creativeblock #guilt #crochet #mixedmediafashion #denim #jeanjacket #stripes #upcycledstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VaNnmHEEO/?igshid=elhfpztm73b9

"Forgiveness doesn't always mean trust" - Heather Lyndsey. It's very important to recognise how critical it is for the health of your inner being to forgive. When people have hurt us, holding onto that unforgiveness is toxic for our hearts. However, after that forgiveness, we must also learn to recognise when the trust is gone. Ignoring this can invite strife, jealousy, fear & anger into your relationships/friendships. Make sure you can identify when a healthy separation is required...whether it be temporary (so you can resolve the issues within yourself first) or permanent (when you can recognise that the environment no longer serves you or them) #forgiveness #relationships #transparencymoment #morningmusings https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOpmn6HO_G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jidby64fwm6v

I am where I am meant to be for now. There are things I need to learn. Some I need to become. Even more that I need to unbecome. I know my Source. It will all work out. Affirm: I am right where I need to be. Good things are coming to be from every direction! And I receive each and every one of them! #talktoyourself #wordsbuild #changethenarrativeofyourlife #transparencymoment #liveyourreallife (at Swaziland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIBP-BAoeY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4ahjaslolgr1

Do you ever wake up and your mind is filled with negative thoughts or you're just thinking on past mistakes or failures? Too often we continue the narrative by adding in how stupid we are, how we'll never have good things happen to us or why we should give up on such & such... In those moments it's important to ask those thoughts why they are there. What brought it on? & why do you feel the urge to agree with that narrative? Then respond to lead to an outcome that best serves you. It's tough but you will not change the narrative of your life by forever agreeing with the negative narratives that enter it. #transparencymoment #mindset #morningmusings https://www.instagram.com/p/BvgMD3MARmW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1muo2fp2g66i2

The worst thing about being single is not liking the person you are when you're alone. The rest is really just perspective, because life has its many seasons & each season has much life to be found in it. So live your best life in all of them. #transparencymoment #seasonofgrowth #singleness https://www.instagram.com/p/BvWtYOCAgi4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16cv5fx6pxeky

Often times we think if we ask for patience, we will suddenly have a measure of patience given to us. "I once was impatient, now I'm not! Thank you Jesus!!!" #praisebreak However... we are instead given circumstances & people that cause us to practice patience. These can be bitter moments that cause us much discomfort & even hurt, but it is all a part of the process of gaining patience. Eventually we will bear fruit if we focus & take in the lessons rather than sit in the puddle of our feelings. #patience #transparencymoment #growthroughit #onwardsandupwards https://www.instagram.com/p/BvWZn6-gTS1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=olw4z613tz0a
