The wheel turns ! Parents and children.

Hello beautiful Souls. My mesage today is about the circle of life and finding freedom in our responsibility and grace.

I want to share some reflections on the intricate dance between parents and children—a journey that shapes us all, regardless of the paths we take.

The relationship we have with our parents is perhaps the most influential landscape of our lives. Whether those memories are filled with warmth or marked by struggle, there often comes a time when we must consciously release our parents from the roles they once played.

To grow into our fullest selves, we have to see them not just as the architects of our childhood, but as flawed human beings navigating their own journeys.

This shift is where true maturity begins. It is easy to look back and feel they failed us, but staying in that space of blame only keeps us tethered to the past. By taking ownership of our lives, we stop using "the sins of our parents" as a justification for our own behavior.

We have a wealth of information to learn from—both positive and negative—and when we take responsibility, we transform that history into a map for our own healing. We give ourselves permission to change what no longer serves us, moving forward without the heavy weights of guilt or the fear of rejection.

As we find our own footing, we must be careful not to cast those same shadows onto our children. Our kids are not meant to be the source of our worthiness; they are not trophies to be polished so that we might feel "enough."

Our children need the space to write their own books and travel paths that are in sync with their own hearts, not ours. When we replace rigid expectations and unreasonable rules with a space for creative growth, we allow them to become healthy, authentic adults.

Our best, and their happiness, is truly all that is required. Life seeks to be a constant cycle of destruction and creation. We can either destroy our peace with high-pressure measurements of achievement, or we can create a life of enormous adjustment and growth. In the end, we are all simultaneously the student and the teacher.

As the wheel of time turns, we often begin to see the sanity and wisdom in the guidance we once resisted. Eventually, roles may even reverse, and we find ourselves supporting those who once supported us. Through every stage, let us move with gratitude for the lessons learned and the courage to follow the path that serves our highest selves.

Be your own author, let your children be theirs, and may we all find the grace to learn from one another with an open heart.
