12/13/2021 - coming into reality & allowing for grief of the fantasy.

Reality.
It doesn’t always show up how you want it to be.
And I’ve had to make that okay with me.

Life doesn’t do what you want. It does what you need.  And it’s our job to recognize life as it is.
In this moment.

Life always creates a better story than our own programmed minds ever could. We have too many expectations and subconcious beliefs to create something worth being witnessed. Something we’d actually enjoy taking part in.

Life is true.
And I am grateful for my truth.
Because my truth includes things that I never could have planned, like the baby in my stomach. 

I am choosing not to be a victim of the truth, but one who gratefully and gracefully lives in truth.
“Rolling with the punches.”

Let’s act like we care for the lives we live...
in
Reality.

[Santosa. From the 3rd of 8 limbs of Hatha Yoga. A Niyama, or internal practice, meaning contentment: being accepting of things happening or not.]

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

  (Because it’s natural. It’s human.)
