I have recently made the decision to move away from a friendship with someone that I love deeply. I made no announcement. I just took a quiet step back and made a visual disconnection in my mind of my own energy.
My birthday is my new year. So the weeks leading up to it can be tumultuous as I set intentions and goals, make choices about what to let go, make changes, and start taking action.
I still do not know how this part of my own story unfolds. Whether I will be mother to children that I bear myself seems small in comparison to the realization that at a time when the world seems so fractured.
