Life becomes a special kind chaos when both parents in the house work full time and you’ve only got a small handful of family members to help out. The mornings start out faster than a a flash flood – packing lunches, driving to three different schools, finding a sitter before work, and still trying to save some leftover energy for a 12-14 hour shift at work.
School schedules are relentless. Work schedules evolve. And somewhere in the middle of all that, you have to find time for YOU. I have two kids in three different schools, and one that’s too little for school yet.
I’m going to be brutally honest here – I’m drained already. By the time I get to bed, the kids are already waking up for school the next morning. And somewhere in there I still have to clean the house. I feel like my soul is covered in a very uncomfy and scratchy blanket of exhaustion. But heres the thing – I still find her – my witchy self, my divine connection, my tiny spark of magic.
Its nothing elaborate anymore. I’m not outside dancing under the full moon with candles. Instead I am stealing little pockets of time.
- A whispered intention into my coffee
- A deep breath in the shower as the water rinses away the chaos
- A thank you to the powers above and below before finally succumbing to the exhaustion.
And honestly? That’s enough right now. In this season of madness, those tiny moments are my practice. Its what keeps me connected to myself when everything else is pulling me into every other direction.
If you are in the same boat and feel like you are failing – stop. Take a few deep breaths. Close your eyes and just feel. Exist. Remember who you are. There – you did it! You reconnected.
The world can wait just a minute. You’re magic is calling you. In the chaos we stir, in stillness we bloom. Blessed be!
