Graduations

Celebrations from high school and college grads are streaming the country. Congratulations, you did it!

Parents and grads are BEGINNERS again. The roles they have lived are changing. GUT FEELINGS and CURIOSITY will be your sign posts, as well as, those WEIRD VOICES in your head that compares you to others, chatters so loud that you get immobile, or those misperceptions that view you as not being good enough. Don't follow those last three sign posts.

Instead course correct, by hearing what you know is true about you. You will be learning to carry paradoxes like, hope is alive and mistakes will happen.

Keep looking for your passions.

Keep checking in with yourself about how you are doing.

Keep connected with those you care about.

Keep reality in check… excitement and fear exist and you still get to be happy.

Keep empty so there is space for the new.

Savor celebrations and weep the losses.

Your life matters.

Take good care,

Natalie
