the lovelies | eleven
grace is a power that transforms a moment into something better.*
that happened today. eleven years ago.
as a mama of twins, i am asked ALL. THE. TIME. to distinguish them by their contrasts.
but playing to stereotypes is so not my thing.
however, inquiring minds, i will tell you this.
they are an irrefutable experience of yin and yang, complementing and complimenting each other every step of their burgeoning and luminous lives.
one born so deeply sensitive and intuitive, it is as if she carries the universe. she speaks fluently with the world around her like she remembers souls and stories. she’s a relentless life force – one look in her honest eyes and big smile, and the energy around you changes.
her sister – a new soul with eyes wide open and gulping in life. she is fresh stardust, beaming so brightly, like the stars fancy her face. her presence is effervescent, dazzling light. and she flies by the seat of her imagination, dancing from one divine impulse to another.
they can stay up all night. laughing.
they love to write and tell stories. a wild mutiny of creativity.
they navigate the world with this expectancy of freewheeling bliss.
and they relish the extraordinary in every stitch of ordinary.
both are fingerprints of inexhaustible love. and at eleven, they are leaning into the fullest expressions of who they are capable of being.
they magnify our delight day after day, giving us the greatest gift possible — a really good life.
so when grace showed up for me 11 years ago, it changed everything.
and it was the best thing ever.
happy birthday, my lovelies.
