A Mother’s Wish: You Are Enough

A poem for the soul—honoring self through transition, loss, and rediscovery.

(This reflection is part of my ongoing series: Savoring Life at 59 — exploring freedom, rediscovery, and meaning beyond roles.) #3

May there be

Open waters caressing joyous spirits
Sunshine dancing within your heart

Soul-filled lyrics rising
from the deepest parts of you

Passions aflame
Forever seeking

Truth, and justice, and peace
Riding on wings of knowing

Your gifts are to be shared
And offered

Willingly, without reservation
Gracefully and wholly

Whenever and however
Possible, always knowing

You are enough
Today, tomorrow, always

And that—

Being kind is always more important
Than being right

And discovering self is the nourishing guide
toward truly seeing others

And when life challenges you
In ways that feel immeasurable and devastating—

You can rise again
To a new day
And find another way

To venture forth
And rewrite the pages of your journey

To fill the deep chasm that has arisen
From pain and suffering

Earning another precious tool
Within the ever-growing survival kit

Leading you toward light,
And love, and belonging

In a world that can be cruel, and unforgiving,
And ferocious to the bone—

But then you already know that
And can find solace in the wisdom

That it’s not the challenges that define us,
But the discovery of our own truths amidst the storm

Ultimately carrying us
toward our most gentle
And beloved selves

Floating on wings of:

Compassion
Joy
Empathy
And Grace

With
light and love continually flowing toward you—

Forever circling
Cradling
Honoring

All the pathways traveled and endured,
And savored
Within your life’s journey.

With love and gratitude,
Lis

Welcome to Savor Life Studio! 🌿

I’m Lis—the creator behind this space dedicated to bringing calm, clarity, and connection through nature and mindfulness.

As a lifelong educator, I find deep peace in creating resources that inspire reflection, creativity, and presence. My hope is that they bring the same sense of grounding and inspiration to you.

Lifting up voices and sharing favorite Substacks in my weekly ‘Shout-Out’ post has filled me with joy and a true sense of belonging. I’m deeply grateful for the soul-filling connections I’ve discovered within this wonderful Substack community.

When I’m not out in nature or writing, you’ll likely find me spending time with loved ones, playing guitar, curled up with a good book, traveling, or savoring a scoop of peanut butter ice cream. I’m thankful for all the moments that bring joy, laughter, and connection.

With love,
Lis ❤️
