I have noticed that I feel most aligned and in balance when I don’t fight these seasons of life but accept and surrender to them. Just as resisting change limits growth, we can’t control it either.
It isn’t the change that I personally fear or resist. I have a tendency to want to control. Anyone else with me? This is something I wasn’t even aware of for a long time. I had an inner knowing that our time in Massachusetts was coming to an end. Being more connected to nature was calling me. When we finally chose the area we felt was right for us, I wanted it to happen immediately and I wanted it so badly. But where does this wanting/longing get us? For me, it left me feeling stuck.
I have been leaning into letting go and living through my heart and in that a release, a trust in the universe. This surrender allowed me to be more present until the time for change was right.
And now, that change is upon us as we will soon close one chapter – a chapter filled with city living, the ocean, watching our babies grow into boys – and a new one opens – one with mountains, trees, growing our own food, and connecting more to nature. When we stay true to our path, our inner knowing, the universe listens.
