Great article Salwa. It is interesting how we can look after another and have a path for which we do not know, while also retracing our own path that brought us to where we are now
Karen, thank you! That’s such a profound way to look at it...walking an unknown path while also tracing the steps that led us here. Life has a way of unfolding in ways we don’t always anticipate, yet somehow, every step shapes us. I appreciate you sharing this perspective! 💛
That means so much to me Traci, thank you for sharing this. I completely understand how difficult it can be to write something so personal, even when guided by a therapist. There’s no rush, no pressure…you’ll get there when it feels right for you. I’m truly honoured that my letter could offer even a small sense of encouragement. Sending you warmth and patience for whenever that moment comes. 💜
this felt like a very reflective, intimate page of a diary and that resonated deeply, especially around your relation to your children as I have a little baby boy of my own! thanks for sharing 🥰
Laura, that means so much! There’s something so profound about reflecting on time, especially through the lens of motherhood. Wishing you all the love and joy as you navigate life with your little boy...such a beautiful journey. 🥰💜
Salwa, Your words are written with a unique sense of eloquence and wisdom. I think you have secret access to my most personal thoughts and feelings about our life journeys in this crazy world. I like to think of that as a sign of a special spiritual connection we share. 💛
Diane, this means so much to me. 💛 I think that’s the magic of words...they find us exactly where we are, in ways we don’t always expect. If my writing speaks to your heart, then I’m grateful for that connection. Thank you for your kindness!
Sometimes a mom needs to take her two little ones and explore with them how God sees life in the now world and compare that with the life He prefers for his followers.
That sounds like such a beautiful and meaningful journey...one that allows for deep reflection and connection, both with your little ones and with faith itself. There’s something truly special about exploring life’s bigger questions through their eyes and discovering what it means to live with intention and love. Wishing you many moments of insight and grace along the way. 💛
Oh Salwa, grounding ourselves in the present moment is what it is about! I love your nudge towards trusting we are on the right path - brings so much acceptance in, right? btw love our synchronicity - my newsletter today focused on our monthly motto of "inner calm".
Grace, oh, I love that synchronicity! 💛 There’s something so reassuring about grounding ourselves in the present and trusting that we’re exactly where we need to be. And “inner calm” as a monthly motto? That’s beautiful...such a needed reminder in a world that constantly pushes us to chase the next thing. Heading over to your newsletter!
Nancy, that means so much...thank you for sharing that with me. Sometimes, words have a way of unlocking something deep inside us, and I’m honoured that mine could be part of that moment for you. Sending you warmth and gratitude. 💛✨
This piece feels like a virtual hug!! Thanks, and throwing back a lot of happiness and abundance for March, Salwa! Also, thanks for the Pico Iyer Tedx!! Highly appreciated! <3
That’s such a lovely thing to say...thank you! I’m catching that happiness and abundance and sending it right back to you for March! 💛 And I’m so glad you appreciated the Pico Iyer TEDx...his insights are always so grounding. ✨
I’m crying and I love you. I know we have catching up to do in our DMs - but maybe this is why I forget. Your writing is so personal, authentic and vulnerable. Beautiful, just like you my love.
My dear Allison, this made me emotional...thank you. 💛 Take your time, no rush at all. I’m just grateful for you, for your kindness, and for the way you always show up with so much heart. Love you too. ❤️
Aww sweet girl. Please know you can DM, email, we can FaceTime, anything I can ever do to support you and your son. I appreciate how you understand being busy, but you can interrupt me any time!
Love for you spans the globe - not everyone can say that! ❤️✨
My dear Allison, thank you for your kindness and support, it truly means a lot to me and I appreciate you so much. Sending love right back, across the globe! ❤️✨
The resources to explore section is an awesome addition Salwa. You keep getting better 👊🏻
Thank you Kyle, I appreciate you!

Yes, yes, and yes. Thanks for sharing the journey with the rest of us.
You welcome Bettina ❤️
This deeply touched me today - thank you for sharing - powerful and honest 💜
Traci, that means so much...thank you for reading and letting me know it resonated with you. 💜 Sending you love and appreciation!
Thank you Salwa for your kind reply
I have saved your letter to self as an inspiration as I have struggled with doing my own letter for many years.
Despite being a therapist, my own therapists have often directed me to do this but I still can’t.
Reading yours was such an honour and allowed me to imagine a time when I might be ready to explore my own - so again I really thank you 💜

Several phrases deeply touched me and brought me to tears... not in a bad way... more like a cathartic way. Beautiful writing...
