Part Three: She’s Still With Me
I used to believe that i moved on from the phases of my life, that I left those women behind as I expanded into the next level. That the part of me who cooked with joy and purpose belonged to a different life.. For years, I let her rest in the past.
But this week, something softened as I moved slower. I prepared meals without rushing. I lit a candle. I let beauty guide the process. And I realized that she never left. She had just been waiting for the right moment to return.
I am not meant to live at full speed all the time. I can move quickly, yes, but that doesn’t mean I always should. I am learning to trust the pace of my life. To know that reclamation happens in layers. That honoring one part of myself does not mean I am going backward. It means I am becoming more whole.
Reconnecting with cooking does not mean I need to restart my catering company. It means I still honor her and I still have access to her magic; the one who created nourishment and celebration through food, the one who gave love through flavor and ritual. She is part of my root system. And now, she has space to breathe again.
When we make room for every part of ourselves, we expand our capacity to serve. To create. To live beautifully aligned.
If you are in a season of remembering, of bringing back something sacred you thought was lost, I see you. You do not have to become someone else. You can become more of who you truly are.
And that is enough.
If you feel called, I invite you to book a Human Design session. Let this be a moment of return.
