Today is the day

I put my daughter on a plane today for her foreign
exchange trip to Japan.

Her first solo adventure.

I'm feeling very introspective about the whole thing

My baby is starting to fly (literally and figuratively) on her own

It's been her and me going places, sharing experiences
for 18 years

I've given her everything I could think of for her trip

Everything I could find to add to her medicine bag

Everything that worked for me

Gave her space to figure out what works best for her

And asked Goddess to give her the rest

Encouraged her to let go of what didn't serve her

While watching with pride as she grew

My Daughter Josephine

Now she's off to see the world

Unfolding her amazing wings

And sharing her beauty with the world

May Isis wrap her wings around you my daughter

And guide you as you begin this new life journey.
