Braids and bare feet and fresh air; that's heaven to me. The laughter of children, the sprouts in the garden, feeling the grass in my toes and my fingers in the dirt. Nails painted and all!
There's so much more to me than the battle within and the day to day "jobs."
There's little moments of glory; like when I show Benny a pill bug or we chase butterflies.
There is watching my oldest son gently show his sister how to play a game or making sure his baby brother is safe on the trampoline or on a walk.
There is watching my oldest sing songs, grow, find her inner beauty and strength. Watching her love a new life growing and loving it already, even though she may never encounter it. She's so loving (and no she nor I are pregnant lol).
There's watching my princess dancing always, so sure of herself and never forgetting her lipstick. She is brazen and brave and sweet. Full of joy and hugs and love.
There's my 14 year old , fighting hard to find herself. Trying new things, finding her joy and learning to dance in the storm. She has a warm heart and so much love to give!
As I see these, feel these, and search daily for new simple joys I'm able to heal. I see that those that are gone have their reasons; and they may have nothing at all to do with not loving me. I see that we are all growing always.
I'm trying to see my own beauty; for this heart pumps pure love and light and a protectiveness to be cautious of!
This mosaic is proof of a survivor spirit; just like my beautiful mom!
There's more to me that the brown eyes you see; for truly they are patterned with gold and green and blue! A mosaic of feathered beauty just like my heart.
Beloveds, what makes you strong?? Where is your beauty?? Own it! ❤️
