Today I was given the keys to the missing piece of my dreams.
The kind man’s eyes were smiling as he handed them to me.
For my adult life I have been searching, quietly collecting the pieces of the life that calls my name.
The mountains.
A kind hearted, hardworking, hilarious, safe and inspiring husband.
A marriage of spontaneous kitchen dance parties, deep conversations, occasional surprise wedgies, accountability for our individual growth, and support until the end of time.
The best dad to my children, a soft place to land.
A boy and girl, two years apart. Babies I have wanted since my own childhood.
A handful of fuzzy creatures, small in number at the moment. But just wait.
A plethora of green vines, succulents and cacti in all shapes, shades and sizes.
The sun catcher in my window is from my mom’s room when I was growing up.
It floats rainbows around and brings me happiness remembering my mom’s unconditional love. Your wisdom, encouragement and belief in me has been the very foundation of my life. It’s flying, soaring, gliding time. Can you feel it?
A few crystals, feathers and Petoskey stones from Lake Michigan adorn my windowsill.
Spectacular art of my loved ones.
Salt lamps.
A big squishy brown couch. Its very presence an invitation to slow down, to connect, to enjoy life.
A deepening understanding of health and healing. Guided by inspiring teachers and friends. An excellent foundation of knowledge for a career serving others.
Now topped off with firsthand experience, my passion to lift people up is streaming out of my heart. Immeasurable and bottomless.
My life's calling.
I am ready.
But the missing piece has been the home.
The land. The space to plant our seeds, build our vision, create our memories.
A beautiful little homestead to call our own.
The kids and I went to see the land today. Walking felt different here. The earth felt soft, comfortable, energizing. My feet delighted in each step and I even took off running.
Today is the day I found the missing piece.
A place to call home.
I held the keys in my hand the whole drive back.
