This pregnancy has shown so much to me, about others but mostly myself. I see where I overextend myself, when I have bigger sights than what I can offer to myself and others. I see when I am hurt, and new ways to overcome my pain to be there for others, and when to go within and care for myself. I see when I adapt to be in the moment out of love, and when I adapt out of survival. I see how I communicate my needs and understanding and how to create more healing opportunities

I am grateful for this sight! I will take this knowledge and utilize it to be a better mother, partner, and friend through this new chapter in my life

Through this transition I ask for:

  • Patience: Offer time and space
  • Compassion: Offer grace and love
  • Understanding: Offer a shoulder
  • Awareness: Offer logical solutions

I ask to be seen for the sensitive person I am within as I navigate ways of healing and to be seen for the capable person I am without compromising my health or others. Above all I ask that in route to communicating about your needs and feelings, that first to seek your intentions and ensure they are aligned with Spirit.

What is healthiest for all involved should be at the center, for our feelings in the moment may shift and change but words and actions can only be forgiven if done out of selfishness.

I can see already how with this new child coming into my world that the dreams I had, commitments I’ve made and obligations I’ve given to myself must melt away.

This new child is not here for me, but I am here for them. It is my role here on earth to put this child first before myself, my family, and my friends.

If this causes strain within our relationship, bitterness in our hearts or entitlement to grow, then we must turn our hearts towards Spirit and focus on that relation before any other.

We are not here to be right, to be understood, or to live simply…We are here to fight for love, to choose healing over pain and to find the truth in our hearts of what we are here to overcome within our own selfishness.

This means tests will come, love will feel lost, and often times we will feel forgotten… but it will not last long if we direct our goal towards LOVE!

BLESSINGS
