Happy Super Bowl Sunday to all the football fans out there! 🏈
Go 49ers! 🎉
Just dropping in from Greenville, South Carolina to share a quick message.
I had a touching visit with my mom at her new memory care residence yesterday. 😊 As I mentioned in
last week’s newsletter, it was my first time seeing my mom in her new home, and I had some pre-visit nerves.
I started my day with meditation and journaling, and then I drew an inspiring card from my Vibe deck. This helped me set a positive tone for our visit.
Taking some time to center myself before emotional situations usually boosts my energy and helps communication flow more smoothly.
A passage from the card I pulled that touched me most was this,
“It’s important to achieve acceptance for yourself. Write that letter, make that call, or have that conversation over a cup of coffee. For peace of mind, accept matters as they are, make amends if need be, and declare your feelings, even if only to yourself. Be clear about what was left unresolved, and close the door on the past so you can set yourself free.“
The visit with my mom went well. At first she seemed a bit confused, but as the visit went on, we connected and shared some quality time together. In that moment, nothing else mattered but the love between us, the bond of mother and daughter. It brings tears to my eyes just writing this. Processing all these emotions will take time, but there is a sense of peace knowing she is in a good place, surrounded by caring people. With my dad and sister nearby, I trust that she is well taken care of and at peace with her circumstances.
This experience has been a gentle reminder to cherish the moments we have with our loved ones, to express our love and appreciation openly, and to find closure where needed so we can truly set ourselves free from the burdens of the past.
I went through my phone and found a couple of happy memories of my mom and me to share.
Hope you all have a wonderful day! 😊 I'm about to dig into some yummy Southern treats, including my brother-in-law Brad's signature smoked ribs. 🙌
Enjoy the game. 🏈
