The UnNesting Mom

I threw out an invitation accidentally to the event of the year: a 1st grade spa party. Kid 2 climbed up her mountain and planted her flag this morning.

As I sit in this car pool line, I realize that all that happens in this life is to give us the opportunity to show up better and better.

This morning is done and they’ll get all my affection and love tonight.

Likely, someone will say or do something…but it is an opportunity to help them also do life’s work. Which is doing the work with support, practice, empathy, and love.
