I don’t know where you are on your journey. Have you just started? Are you pregnant? Have you been hoping and trying for a tiny person for years? 

I know I’ve talked about this so much already but there is so much to say for letting go, for breathing and for letting yourself be free. And I know it’s the hardest thing to do. There are so many books and so many blogs and people to see and medication to take or acupuncture to do. There is so much of it all. And some days you just feel like letting it all go and praying for a miracle. A miracle that even though you know you’re not ovulating, that maybe somehow you could just magically get pregnant. Can’t the universe just make that happen just this once?

I have been blown away with the amount of wonderful stories I have heard lately of beautiful mamas to be who found out they were pregnant exactly at the point in their journey when they decided to take a rest. (Whether it was something like carving out time for themselves to meditate every single day, or stopping a fertility medication they had been on for months). 

There is always going to be proof somewhere that our bodies love it when we let it all go. 

Letting ourselves be free of the frustration even if it’s just for one day. Finding the space to put the book down, to stop thinking, to quiet our head and just let whatever is going to happen, happen. 

The pursuit of the dream is important but remembering that the chasing of it isn’t a direct road. It is winding and difficult and dark sometimes.

But there is a crack in everything – that’s how the light gets in.
