The great disappearing month of December. No sooner do we turn the corner on November and it’s gone. Just like that, a new year upon us.
Amidst the busyness of the season, and all that it can represent for each of us, I wanted to share this short clip written and read by my youngest son.
He prepared it for his acting troupe to help them relax and refocus before their most recent performance. I found out about it quite by accident (the way Moms of sons sometimes do); he was running unusually early for rehearsal (typically an unrushed soul) so I asked what was up and he casually mentioned that he needed to get himself settled to lead a meditation before opening night. Then he pulled out a piece of paper with his handwritten words and read it to me in the car. When he was done, he slowly looked over at me and asked me what I thought. Dear precious son of mine, the parenting journey will involve many moments, some of them tougher than others, but these are the ones you’ll hold onto with both hands and feet and carry with you til the end. What do I think? I think I love you to the moon, beyond and back again.
With his permission, I’m sharing his guided meditation with you today (which he recorded for you) – maybe it will bring a smile to your day and maybe even a moment of peace. I know I’ve listened to it a few times.
Blessings to All.

Brilliant in every sense.
How lovely. Yes, you can be very proud. Wishing you all the best in this New Year.
Your son is so talented…. I can imagine how proud you are! The photograph above is so calming, so well chosen for this time of the year between Christmas and New Year… I hope you are having wonderful holidays!
Happy New Year, Kelly!
I can see why you’re grinning ear-to-ear Kelly, he is a very mature and sensitive young man. The audio is very relaxing indeed, thanks for sharing.
A wise owl just like his beautiful Mamma! Xx

I just love this and his delivery is stunning! What an amazing moment that must have been together in the car and an important reminder to all of us to take a pause in our day to appreciate what is truly important. Thank you for sharing this with us Kelly (I have a feeling I’ll be listening to this soothing meditation a few more times in the coming days ;-).

Beautiful words and what a voice! You’ve also given me hope that one day my ‘wild’ boys might be calm enough to stay still for 4 1/2 minutes Haha.
