A little late in getting this one up. Last week went from crazy to crazier... I headed to a beach I would drive to often when I first got my license at 18. There used to be a jetty here, but it's long gone now. For some reason I thought I'd see the magic here I saw then. But that wasn't the case. An overcast and windy day, and a week of busy and doing my very best to let go of what I can't control may have dampened the view a little... but sitting looking out at the sea, even if for just a few moments, reminded me to breathe. And that was probably what I needed to remember most last week.

Are you doing a 52 project or daily project of some type this year? If so, I'd love to know. I'm rather grateful I chose this photo project to keep me centred on my guiding word this year xx
It seems a lifetime ago that I wasn't a mother. But really it's just three point five years. Life was so very different. I was making changes, heading in the direction my heart is now. Thinking about where I wanted to be, and wondering how life would unravel.
A part of me still wonders about the path my heart chooses, while a part of me tries to soak in life just as it is and not look further than the now.
Balance is tricky. And it's something I'm constantly working at. Some days it feels like I have it sorted, other days it's a little of a mess. But as I move forward and return to work part-time I find I'm reminding myself to witness where I am at any given day, accept that some days will be more productive than others and to stop more often amid the messiness and busy times to just be.
Making it all work is challenging but even on the harder days I'm telling myself that I am indeed making it work and creating {thanks to much support & love} a life I adore.

{When things have got busy these past couple weeks, we've stopped to head outdoors and look up at these golden leaves above. Oh, and I was over at Bec's At Penny Lane on Sunday for her Mums Making It Work series talking a little more about life then & now. Elisa xx}
Do you look back at life then & now? And do you find yourself stopping amid busy times to just be?
