After close to a month, I’ve finally landed back on the mat. I’ve completed all my missing live classes and welcomed our new theme(which always feels perfectly times for my life).
My sweet mother had her left kidney removed due to a renal cell carcinoma, and I immediately went to take care of her. I held her hand before the surgery, and promised that I would be there when she woke up. We eased into a daily routine of movement, pain management, healthy eating(I cooked everyday!) and all the girl talk. I helped her shower, gave her pep talks, and sat on the floor next to her bedside every night while we watched Britbox until bedtime. It was work but I felt privileged to be in the position to care for my parent who has always cared for me.
So my intention is to care for myself in the same loving, powerful, healthy way I cared for my mother. Give myself grace to catch up to my healing, be loving in healthy habits, try to never question my progress as too slow and to find the fun and joy in the hardest of times. Grateful for the love and support of the M/BODY fam, who never waver in offering light and strength. Thankful that I always have a place to return, keeping me balanced and in the light 💛💫
