62 | The Girl I Always Was

Because, Why Not?

I've been cleaning out my mom's house and attic and that has meant going through boxes and boxes of my own memorabilia and photos. Sifting through piles of the last four decades of my life has caused me to look at my life in a way I never have, to look at me in a way I never have. The irony is that this deep spiritual work I have done over the last couple years has led me to know wholeheartedly that our spirit has always remained the same and always will remain the same. It is what guides us. It has never changed, and it never leads us astray. But looking at these dozens of photos of my face and body from the day I was born until very recently allowed me to look in my eyes and see that at any different age I was, I was the same. I was the girl that I always was. Circumstances changed, I lived in different places, I tried out different personalities and ways of being, friendships came and went, some friendships stayed for years and years, I built a family, I built a career... On and on. But now I know for sure that one thing that has never changed is who I am inside. I find this so amazing, so comforting, and ultimately just the coolest truth there is about my life and our lives And I'm so grateful to have come to this knowing at the end of this difficult road of dismantling my mother's home and life.
