Life Changes Chat with Mom

​My mom and I talk by phone most mornings.

She has her tea and toast and I have my coffee and toast.

We talk about what's happened since we last talked and what we both have planned for the day.




​I was telling her about the next door neighbor cutting down a few huge pine trees in their yard. 

The house has been vacant for years. The owners only show up to cut the grass.

When I asked them what was going on, I found out they're planning to sell.

With no one living in the house, I've enjoyed a level of privacy that's now going to change.

Losing the trees was the start. Everything feels exposed. It left me feeling a little weirded out.




I realized that it's a metaphor for the big changes in my life that I'm already experiencing.

Being able to share those feelings, talk them out with my mom, was such a gift.

She reminded me to embrace and celebrate those changes.

Sometimes, we can't see what's going on in our own backyard very clearly and it makes all the difference to have another perspective.
