Somewhere along the way

Once upon a time, I used to be me… along came you, and me became we… God was merciful and we grew by a good two feet – no measuring tape to figure that out, the feet had wriggly toes too!

Life was absolute bliss!

I got so carried away basking in the newfound bliss that I let my new identity hijack my entire existence – couldn’t have come up with a better recipe for disaster.

Did I have a choice? It’s not like I could opt out of the 24/7 mom-a-thon. Not to mention a lifetime signup to the house-a-spouse program.

As I busied myself with the overwhelming demands of nurturing two of the most important people in my life, I forgot the most critical ingredient – me.

I’ve come a full circle having realized how suffocating lack of creative expression and spiritual nurturing can be.

Creative warm-up is my little retreat, an indulgence, a place where I can slowly work towards reclaiming the ‘me’ that I used to be – all so I can get back to my mom-a-thon and house-a-spouse challenges a happier, refreshed me!
