Finding Myself

When times are tough and balance within the family is needed, I feel the call to step up and help, but who will help balance me? I lean on friends -close friends/cousins. Those friends and cousins that know my story and have seen all sides of me AND my family and still love me as me. Those friends and cousins that know how to keep me real, grounded and hold space for everything. They have taught me over time to look in the mirror or write in a journal and do the same for myself. Day by day - step by step - then the next thing happens and life moves on. A sigh of relief, warm sun on the face and a deep breath in. I am me again.
