now

Now is a sweet spot in our home and family life.

• Our house is our home. It is the safe space where we unmask ourselves to each other.  It is where we connect, support, and enjoy each other.
• The relationships that comprise our little family flow more smoothly than before.  We've developed the skills to communicate clearly, practice patience, and read each other's moods and behavior with more accuracy and respond in kind. 
• Within the security of our home and our relationships, I am facing some of the pain and trauma of my past.  This challenges me and that shows up in my moods, emotions, and body.  I am grateful for the companionship, flexibility, patience, and strong connections of our little family that support and comfort me while I do this work. 
• I am burrowing into this sweet spot, like a critter into a den.  I feel protected, insulated, nourished and loved.  I feel seen and heard and known.  I feel gratitude and love for our family and our home.
