happy birthday Connor (October 8th)

To my beautiful daughter, my first born, on her 24th birthday:

Connor literally means “strong willed” or “lover of hounds”
No doubt, iron willed from your first breath
And, you do love your dogs, especially Lola! {Dog Whisperer}
Yet, you are a lover of so much more 

Yoga and breath {Yogi}
Food and cooking {Foodie}
Nature and Mother Earth {Flower child}
Painting, drawing, creating jewelry and now dream catchers! {Artist}
Family and friends and kids and your partner {Tribeswoman}
Travel and adventures {Free spirit}
Snow and all seasons in the mountains {Snow bum, snow bunny, mountain girl}
Flora and fauna {Your grandfather’s granddaughter}
Music and fashion and movement and crystals and reading and rapping and sunsets... 

Connor, no single label, interest, passion, or experience defines you
You are All and Everything...

Your birth transformed me into Mom
Your presence in my life a profound gift
And now to witness your personal growth into 
Energy and light worker
Compassion and empathy
Healer
Visibility and transparency
Lover of all humans, no exceptions, and mostly your Self
I celebrate every moment of your journey
Through darkness and light
Through the shedding of ego and hiding and fear
Revealing your true essence
As an Enlightened One in our exquisite world

Happy Birthday Connor
You are celebrated and deeply loved on both sides of the veil

My eternal love, Mom
