Emptying the Soul to Fill the Heart

Parenthood is a unique dynamic in that it requires me to simultaneously give and receive at the same moment. Giving my foundational beliefs of what it means to exist to my daughter, and capturing her evolving heart with each gesture, word, and conversation that we share.

By emptying the soul you fill the heart. The soul of: Serving. Giving. and Providing. The soul is never completely emptied because it discovers new ways to serve, give, and provide.

Once the soul has emptied it opens the heart to be filled. Filled with: Thoughtfulness. Remembrance. and Moments.

The Giver is: Parenthood.

The Giver is: Leading others.

The Giver is Serving a community of many.

The Giver Serves a community of one.

The Giver empties their soul to fill the hearts of others. Each breathing day a stillness cocoons me, and I empty my soul to fill the heart of my daughter Peyton.
