Back to Basics

Okay mom, I am listening.

 “You have to wean Everlie and get yourself healthy. Your poor little body is drained. She’ll be just fine. You’re a great mom and you’ll feel better once your body and hormones get back to normal. I promise.”

I can hear you saying that over and over in my head. And today that is exactly what the naturopath said too. That I need to stop EVERYTHING. All the meds, supplements, all the herbal remedies and just let my body normalize, stabilize. So I agree. I will start tonight. I will slowly begin to wean Everlie and stop everything else. I will continue with exercise, meditation, yoga and therapy, and just stop with the rest. I will try to be good to myself. To stay positive. And remember that this too shall pass and that I will be just fine.

“You’ll be just fine. You will.”

I can hear you saying it in my head.

“Focus on the positive. Be happy with Cooper, Dave and Everlie. Take if off your shoulders.  You can do this.   You will be just fine. I promise. You are a strong, amazing wonderful woman. And I love you.”

I am listening mom. I hear you.

And today I am going back to basics.

Body, mind, and spirit.  In hopes to find balance and peace I so desperately want.

I trust you mom. Stay with me.

Your daughter forever and ever,

Lisa
