Nobody is coming to save you from your own life.
And before that sounds harsh -
Hear me out
There are seasons when life is simply asking us to chop wood and carry water.
The kids need us
The house needs tending
The family needs cared for
The work is still there
The days keep moving
And sometimes we become so focused in carrying everything that we forget to bring ourselves along
No one else can create the life that includes my needs in it
No one else can decide when I need to stop
No one else can make me receive
No one else can tend my heart for me
That doesn't mean we aren't meant to be supported
It means that support and self abandonment are not the same thing
The hummingbird moves
She is fierce
She is purposeful
And then -
She stops
She drinks
She receives
She rests
The pause isn't the opposite of movement
It's part of the rhythm
I wrote about this today in Hummingbird Wisdom:
Nobody is coming to save you from your own life
On anchoring in, reclaiming your power, motherhood, and remembering to bring yourself along.
