Brene Brown always brings the best stuff to the hard stuff. Vulnerability, courage, being brave, shame….her new podcast saved me this morning. Having the emotional bandwidth for 4 individual beings all feeling very different things simultaneously during this pandemic has me in a tailspin to say the least. I am back to my “old hat” of taking pictures as therapy. Visually processing the mundane moments to complete insanity this life throws out has me feeling all of the feels this afternoon. I am constantly reminding myself to give kindness, we are all in this together. My 11 year old is throwing death con 5 tantrums because this is the FFT. My 9 year old refused to walk for a week because this is the FFT. Her twin sister has been lashing out at my 6 year old because this is the FFT. My 6 year old seems to break into tears anytime I’m not within her sight because this is the FFT.
I need to remember GRACE.
I need to remember to TRUST THE PROCESS.
I need to remember THIS TOO WILL PASS.
I need to remember witnessing these four ladies’ childhood is a PRIVILEGE.
I need to remember it’s all INSIDE.
