“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.” - Rumi
I am content. I don’t know if there will ever come a time when I won’t find fulfillment in my son or in my education ventures. I am content in my singleness because I am not lonely. I’m happy. I have time to spend with my son. I have time to just devote to myself and meditation. I can read alone or with Ezra. I can write for pleasure or write sample academic papers. I can just focus on being the best version of myself for myself.
A few updates:
1.) The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds is a freaking amazing book. Ezra can’t get enough of it, neither can I! We’ve read it four times since we checked it out last week!
2.) I’m New Here by Anne Sibley O’Brien is a book that all parents and educators need to have. It opened up a great dialogue between Ezra and I about being inclusive and helping new friends feel comfortable in their new environments. These are conversations we NEED to be having as parents and educators so let’s not do our kids a disservice by being ninnies and hiding from difficult topics.
3.) My back went out. I’m out of my back meds until Thursday. This is the very definition of hell.
So nothing profound, well I did have a thing but it wasn’t the right time to share so I’ll just discuss it with my life coach first. I have such a busy week ahead of me, I need to be in bed.
