Earlier this month, I dropped my last child off at college. The smile in the photo defies the truth. The past couple of weeks have felt heavy as I process this change, and I can tell it’s going to indeed be a process.
Here are the thoughts I am hoping will guide me now:
😢 Tears and grief are powerful, don’t feel good, AND equally bear witness to lots of love felt and given. That’s the yin and yang or ebb and flow of life.
🤯 Growing up is an adventure for parents too. (Thought I’d be done with that by now!)
🥰 Letting go won’t be easy but it will come with rewards for me and my children.
🧐 My journey will allow me empathize and apply lessons learned to help others.
PLUS watch this space for lots of business news once I am better able to pour my professional self into my new found time! I have so many plans and a bucket list a mile long. Step one: mental fitness!!
Anyone on this journey with me? Any thoughts and tips welcome!
