Shifts and changes

Oh this week is a big one — my eldest leaves for college. Perhaps what I can best say about this is that I love being a mom more than anything else. My role in that is changing. It’ll be an adjustment and it’ll all be great. She is so truly ready and excited and that positive energy will get me through.

Priorities get shifted with parenthood, and now a shift will happen again. I’ve had painting ideas percolating for years — maybe 18 of them! Time to see what they are. This is pretty thrilling for me.

I took this photo YEARS ago. No kidding it was years ago- maybe it was 16 or so. This is it. The embodiment. What does it mean? I have ideas.

In the meantime, while we enjoy the winding down of summer and the few days with my girl at home before college, I percolate and prepare. Can’t wait for all that is coming up!
