I actually wrote this 2 weeks ago but I couldn't make blogger work then...
Today I feel like a snake, shedding skin.
*Not a cold and unfeeling reptile. I actually rather like the sinuous feeling of handling live snakes – ehh—ok*
But expanding and quite vulnerable. Eying life anew.
Discarding another layer that is no longer necessary, a skin that once protected me and allowed me to move forward has outlived it’s usefulness.
I’ve been challenged again by my gorgeous human daughter.
Every relationship I have is colored by my sense of myself, which is colored by adoption.

So many judgments. I read and sort and forgive and grow and repeat.
So many layers of judgment.
So many attempts to disguise myself.

Oh, I’m really ok.
Really.
And slither off under a rock.
And shed.
And look at life with fresh eyes.

I love this! It is so fitting to adoption and what happens in reunion.

You have to be amazing too to have such a fabulous daughter.
It's so inspiring to see how you grow and are constantly transforming.
It's wonderful.
