and I realized something. I spend so much time wondering what my dharma is. What is it and how do I follow it? What should I be doing with this life? I realized that I am living my dharma. I am living it and I love it. I love, love, love being at home with my kids. I love watching them turn in to the awesome human beings they are and I love that I get to help guide them on that journey.
Sometimes I get caught up in our societies belief that there is very little value to being a stay at home mom. I get caught being afraid that because I don't have my own source of income that I put myself in a very vulnerable position. I get caught in the feeling that comes with the silence that comes after I say that I stay at home with my kids.
But, you know what? It is whatI want to be doing. It is what feeds my soul. It brings me such great joy.
I am thankful for that. So incredibly thankful.
Maybe instead of wasting so much time wondering what my dharma is, I need to instead embrace the fact that I am living my dharma and that it is ok to be doing this. It is after all my dharma and no one else's. It is better to fail or struggle with my own dharma than it is to live and succeed at someone else's!
