Leave it to small children to be the voice of Jesus to us, "be here!" This was lovely, Megan.

I’ve been thinking about this lately, too. Some days, it feels painstaking to “be here” and other days it feels much more natural. I’m trying to pay attention to what makes the difference for me (the iPhone is definitely on the list🥴). Thank you for this beautiful reminder! ♥️

This is so good and what I’ve been trying to be attentive to these days. They are so precious and dripping with the divine.

This is just stunning ✨ I am having one of those evenings that feels like the total opposite of this scene—sickness/50 shades of grey/is God even real/so much meh/can I pls be anywhere but here/etc etc etc. But your stunning words were a much needed tangible piece of magic ministering to my parched soul 💕

Also, I am absolute obsessed with dried mango lately. I wish my mum would put it in my bag.

Oh friend, I am there so often too!!! Hence why this evening at the park felt like such a stark, beautiful contrast. Your magical moments will come again <3 For now just flop on the couch and give yourself allllll the grace. (And all the dried mango.) Sending you lots of love!

I needed this reminder. I’ve been struggling to stay present and Be Here. When my son was young it felt easier. We were slowly moving through life with nursing and naps. Now I struggle to slow down and live in the moment.

I am right there with you—it seemed like once they started walking everything just moved into fast forward mode! I am constantly reminding myself to slow down + chill out. Solidarity <3
