Surf, Swim, Sail

“You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” - John Kabat-Zinn

We will all have sweet days where the seas of life feel steady and serene ... and we will have days where we feel caught in the riptide - pulled under the crashing waves.

I like the idea of learning to surf, swim, and sail on the ups and downs rather than tread water or struggle for air. But I also know that even the best surfers fall from time to time.

I think that sometimes all we can do is celebrate the waves that we do catch just right - the times where we soar with light hearts and seamless ease. And perhaps more importantly, I think we need to be soft with ourselves in the moments when we fall and struggle to keep our heads above the surface.

I love you so much - thank you for being the life vest that buoys me back up in the moments I feel pulled under. Please know that I'm always here to help you back on board with loving arms.
