I meant it. And I know this will sound awful but I feel quite proud it made you cry. Tears are good sometimes. It's the way the body lets go of emotions and letting go is always good. It IS hard to let go as our children get older and as Kahlil Gibran said, they are not our children. They are life's longing for itself. So we have to let them go. I found it easier by thinking of how best I could be a role model for THEM when it is their turn to let go of their children. I want them to see me as living a full life (without them), pursuing my passions. And, morbid though it might seem, I also think a lot about death and how I can be role model in that as well. How to teach them to die consciously. You have so much life left to live Selena. And if you find yourself adrift, know that it is easier to find the right course if you just set sail. And then you can adjust the sails as you go. You've got this. And I've got your back. Reach out if I can help. A💚🙏🌷

I came, I wrote, I conquered. That last bit might not be true, but at least I am putting up a good fight.
