I am knee deep in the midst of a lesson in love and worthiness. My mother's passing has opened my heart enough to let go of old thoughts and tired truths that no longer serve me.
This is what it looks like right now. It's new, it's scary, and it's exciting to be in this place and to just ride with it rather than try to exert some control over it.
I carry my camera and show up here to share because: it feels good and sits right with me.
Still in the middle of things. And that is perfectly ok.
Sending you love...
Thank goodness for the photo therapy. xo

What would we do without our passion for photography? I know it has done wonders for me after retiring from corporate and having no identity. I don't mean to even compare this with your loss, just that whatever level of emotion, photography is such a wonderful relief. So happy to have you in the middle! xo

what terrific perspective you have. it's not easy to give up control over things and choose instead to just ride along.
oh so good...

Beautiful! I lost my 24 YO son in December, Bella. I've been amazed and grateful at the things I have learned about love from loss. But as you know, that still doesn't make it easy....Blessings on you as you continue on your path....

I was so sorry to read about the passing of your mom.
I've been there and feel that kind of pain. Your strength and candid writing show what a true inspiration you are; an example of courage and the forward movement of our hearts, in the broken moments of our lives.
