Just reporting: I’m insanely happy and it feels hard-won.

My sweet girl is growing up. Most days she asks to give her simple braid, some days she wants flowers tucked in. She ALWAYS wants me take a picture of her hair so she can see it.

She inspires me to look deeply at my own patterns, my wounds. She is brilliantly funny. I find her unbelievably beautiful.

And, her struggles trigger me. Because I don’t want any of my old pains to plague her. I am finding my way to surrender to this.
