I’ve been listening to the @secondlifepod a lot lately, and I love all the stories of people who take the long way around to find the life they were meant to live. Probably because I relate so much to their stories. I’m so grateful for this second life of mine, grateful to be walking through life with someone so good, so kind, so filled with purpose and intention. And someone who still makes my heart flutter. My career change might have been to wife and mama, but I couldn’t be more content.

This photo says it all. Happy Father’s Day, my love! Thank you for filling our life with enthusiastic adventure and boundless joy. Theo is the luckiest, and so am I.

Vancouver Aquarium

We had a great weekend in Vancouver with family and friends, and we’re ready for Monday!
.
I can’t believe this is the last week of school. This little boy has grown up so much since he first started preschool in September. As usual, I’ve been thinking a lot about parenting and how best to support Theo as he meets challenges in life. I liked what I recently heard @brenebrown say, to sit with them in their darkness without trying to fix things or make them feel better. Just to be there. And also to remove my own ego from parenting, to let him be and grow without inflicting my hopes, desires or dreams from my own life. Neither easy, but I’m trying. All of this may sound lofty, given he’s only three. But if I start practicing now, maybe I’ll be better at it during the times it matters most.
.
And lastly, there’s a lot said about the days being long but the years short. Or about enjoying every moment. Or not enjoying every moment. I think I’m just grateful for every moment, for both the challenging ones and the ones where I feel my heart might burst. Because I get to have these moments at all, which is a gift.
