Did you know that our children choose us, and we choose our parents when we come into human form? We select our family for the specific lessons we want to learn. This is a vulnerable post, and I received permission to share, but it was too beautiful of a moment to keep to myself.

Yesterday, Cruz and I were hanging out, watching one of my favorite movies, "The Goofy Movie." In the very first scene, the son has a huge nightmare about becoming his father, Goofy. I turned to Cruz and said, "Yeah, that`s usually what`s normal for kids. We usually want to be the opposite of our parents." He looked at me earnestly and said, "No, I want to be exactly like my dad."

It was such a profound moment for me because it reminded me that our children are having their own unique experiences and soul journey.

Cruz`s clarity prompted me to run upstairs and share this with my husband, which brought him to tears. I explained to Cruz that it`s not our responsibility to make other people happy, but sometimes sharing our hearts can provide healing to others. His words meant so much to his dad, who wants to be just like his father.

In a world that tells you that you need to be a provider as a man, a provider means many things—safety, love, support, joy, time—and my husband has fulfilled all of these. I wanted him to see what his legacy is.

Our legacy isn`t measured by our financial status or job title, but by our children—how they see the world, how they navigate it. I am grateful for my husband, my children, and this beautiful life we have created together.

What is your legacy?

Honoring my grandmother on her first heavenly birthday. Today, she would have turned 93 on earth. As I sit with my feelings, there`s sadness and grief, but more than anything, I feel her presence. She`s with me everywhere I go, and I`m grateful for that.

My grandmother was a prayer warrior. Every Friday and Saturday night, she and my mother, along with some of my aunts, would go to church from 8 pm to 9 in the morning to pray for the world, their families, and their communities. Her faith was unshakable, and the power of her prayers was undeniable.

After my grandmother took her spirit walk, I discovered something really beautiful. Going through her things and her Bible, I found all of these little notes of prayers. Every time I had surgery, every time I had something big coming up in my life, she would write it down as a prayer. Maybe it was those prayers that got me through those really hard moments.

Even though the way that I pray may be a little bit different or look a little bit different, it`s still prayers, it`s still reaching, it`s still intention, it`s still love, it`s still light.

As I pray today, I`m going to be praying for all of my people, for us as a community, and for us as a human race. Because prayer does work. Envisioning a peaceful, beautiful earth. I see what our ancestors and my grandmother saw for us, and we`ll continue to walk that path and create even more room for those walking behind me, my children and my future grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The lineage will continue, carrying the light, compassion, and legacy of faith and unconditional love. I`m embodying these lessons and passing them down. Thank you for all of the gifts. Thank you for all of the prayers and thank you for all of the love.

Chula, I love you and I`m grateful for all of the things that you still continue to teach me. 🌹

🌿 Excited to Share My Recent Healing Journey 🌿

Where do healers go to heal? This question has been on my mind for a while. Recently, I`ve been fortunate to find myself in the company of true healers and elders, and it`s been transformative.

I`ve always felt a deep connection to elders, even as a child. Spending time with wise, intuitive humans who can hold space for deep healing has been a long-awaited gift. This past weekend, I had the privilege of being the receiver, delving into depths I`ve never reached before, guided by those who truly understand this path.

Being in this sacred space not only gave me a deeper understanding of myself and my purpose but also led me to find a soul family. I now have aunties from Pakistan, Poland, and Australia, sharing ancient wisdom and practices with my children, which fills my heart and soul with joy.

Participating in sweat lodges and special ceremonies was magical, and while most of my experiences will remain sacred, the teachings and messages from my guides are meant to be shared. I`ve been sharing them in my circles, and they`ve been incredibly impactful.

I`ve learned that there`s nothing more transformative than being in a space where judgment doesn`t exist, and you can fully embrace all parts of yourself. In these sacred spaces, healing becomes intense and profound.

I look forward to sharing more about my journey and continuing to walk this path. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this beautiful experience. 🙏

I want to give a huge shout out to my community, my tribe, my sisters, and my soul family, all those who have taken the time to care of me and check in on me this week. I`m learning to receive. ❤️

I especially want to dedicate this message of LOVE to mi amor, who has gone above and beyond. I wouldn`t be able to do the work that I do without his support, and this week he has been on double duty cooking every meal, taking care of me, attending to the boys` needs, and performing all these beautiful acts of service with so much grace, love, compassion, and patience. Baby- you are my biggest blessing.

I am so grateful for all the people in my life. Please take care of yourselves and one another. I love you.❤️
