I'm sorry

Hello beautiful,

When I started writing to you two years ago (right around the time my daughter June was born), I promised you that as I valued your precious time as a woman, business owner + (fur)mama, I'd only write to you when I had something of real value to share. I promised that only the stories, experiences + lessons that had shifted truly shifted my soul + life would arrive in your inbox, in hopes of serving you + your world in some way.

Here's the thing:

I lied.

And I'm really sorry.

Over the last 6 months, my entire inner and outer world has completely shifted. I have grown more + learned more during this time than I have in decades.

From moving to a new home in a new state, to birthing our 3rd baby Noah James (a.k.a Jonah-more on that later), to celebrating 1 year sober, to learning to say I'm not ok when I'm not ok, relearning who I am as a mother of 3, to going deep into my marriage to heal old patterns, to downloading an entire new program (coming this fall/early winter!)

How I see myself, other woman + mamas, famous, animals, our planet & the collective: completely transformed; a state of deep reverence and awe.

Welcome Noah James 5/19/19

A long time dream of living in an 1800s farmhouse, complete with sacred land, a barn + space to fully step into my work as a healer is here.

One year down; a lifetime to fully LIVE

#wearetheluckiest

 

And none of them showed up in your inbox.

And for that I am truly sorry, friend.

But I've been quiet for a reason...

1) I've been trying to catch my breath

2) There were moments when I truly was not emotionally, physically or mentally able share. The fourth trimester + postpartum period are very real (see my post: IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO SAY YOU'RE NOT OK WHEN YOU'RE NOT OK)

3) I've learned that I had to experience these things, really deeply, on my own first. Sit with them, be with them; be fully present with my baby, with my children, my husband, myself. I had to learn to ask for help, ask the Divine what I needed to know, and above all, create space to nurture + nourish my mama heart.

There are so many lessons + whisperings of growth weaved into every single moment, even the seemingly small ones, and especially the hard ones.

It's when we really let them permeate deep into our being, let the old skin shed, and allow the experiences + emotions to fully change us that we emerge transformed into a version of the woman we've always known ourselves to be.

I invite you to join me today in taking a hot sec to fully exhale, and relish in all the big + little moments that have led us right here, to this beautiful + imperfect time in our lives.

How have you celebrated where you are in your journey?

I love you,

Bri
