HOLLOW

Last summer, actually last September I REALLY became an empty nester! It was the most INVIGORATING, rewarding, jubilant, lonely and desolate feeling ever! Afterall I had not lived alone since I was 22 years old!

PULEASE don’t get me wrong...Coffee, naked, in my kitchen....reading for hours uninterrupted, stopping after work for dinner and drinks regularly, getting ready to go anywhere with my door open, stripping out of my clothes as I walked through my door, my home smelling like a candle shop, inviting friends over without being embarased, and having UNSCHEDULED "PLAY" DATES.....ALL PRICELESS

The noise of silence...the bouts of depression, the tears for no reason, the responsibility of being irresponsibile....starting to restart to start again. I'd found my footing only to lose it again a short while later; new ventures, new loves, fleeting.... fast and temporary. The loss of a job and the start of a business, depleted savings account, but thats a whole story within itself!

This stage is different, and unexpectedly difficult at times....parenting adults, who HAVE to learn their own lessons, meanwhile as a mother you’re growing past your own shadow.....Mothering is a serious profession, all need not apply! I am UNBECOMING the woman that I used to be, letting go of that which no longer serves me....I'm so much lighter now....🦋

I"m a mom learning to LOVE her new life...Whats your superPOWER!
