It has been forever since I’ve blogged. 2025 was really such a deep year of healing and I am excited to share more about it..Starting now..Happy reading!
I used to dance almost every day before my mom got sick.
To the point where my tagline for my blog was – loving yourself is life’s best dance move. I used to do self-love dance parties every Saturday long before dancing on social media was popular.
And then my world came crashing down. I was grieving my mother while she was still alive and yet somehow having to continue to be a functioning human.
Before she died, she told me, “I don’t want you to lose yourself from all of this” little did she know I was already too far gone.
It’s been almost 5 heartbreaking years since my mom died. And I am just now over the past year building back what I’ve lost.
I will never quite be the same. A part of me died with her. But I am reclaiming in a new way. I am no longer searching to fill the void of her loss with empty, abusive relationships.
Instead, I see the void as beautiful. Because it represents the most wonderful woman I’ve ever known.
And I have learned through somatics and nervous system tools to give myself the love that I was tugging from others. I learned to connect with my intuition, trust myself and find the deepest sense of self-love.
One where I know I’ve got me.
Missing my mom is a hurt that will never go away. But somatic movement helped me reclaim some of what I’ve lost. And now I’m not just dancing again, I am dancing with joy and pride knowing she’s smiling down telling me, “this is all I’ve ever wanted for you”
Doing it for you Mom, but I’m also doing it for me 💜
Beautifully Simply You
