#### *Holding Space, Energy, and Soft Expectations for a Tender Reunion*

There’s a day coming soon that looks simple on the outside.
A date on the calendar. A plan to meet.
But underneath it, something sacred stirs.

It’s been a long time since all my children and their partners were in the same space.
Not just passing through. Not just a video call.
Physically present. All of us. At once.

And though no one says it directly, I can feel the layers around it.
Old memories. New identities. Unspoken shifts.
Some want to eat out. Some want to stay in.
Some respond clearly. Some stay silent.
And me?

I’m in between it all — sensing the undercurrents while trying to keep the ground soft beneath us.

I suggested the restaurant at first.
It seemed neutral. Simple. Safe.
But when only a few responded and the town’s big event made it harder to secure a spot without planning 
I felt that old familiar pressure rise:

The weight of having to anticipate everything.

Some responded quickly.
Others stayed quiet, letting the plan hover in the air.
One idea floated in with clarity, gentle, grounded,  suggesting we simply eat at home after walking a bit.
That idea felt like breath.
Less production. More presence.

So here I am.
Not trying to control the day, but trying to prepare enough so that love doesn’t get lost in logistics.

Because this isn’t just about food.
It’s about energy.
It’s about space.
It’s about a family constellation that’s slowly finding a new orbit again.

I’m not just preparing for dinner.
I’m preparing my nervous system.
Because when you’re a Reflector in Human Design or anyone energetically sensitive 
family gatherings aren’t just meals. They’re frequency storms.

I know I can’t force it.
But I also know that if we don’t choose soon a table will be gone, or the moment will feel rushed.

So I wait.
I ask.
I reflect.
I prepare.

I prepare not just for a plan, but for a presence.

For small smiles.
For awkward silences.
For inside jokes that still land.
For moments when someone says something without knowing why; and I understand anyway.

Because I’ve been holding the space all along.
And though I don’t ask for credit…
I still feel it.

So if you see me a little quiet this week,
a little more tender,
it’s because this day means more than it seems.

And I want it to feel soft enough
for everyone to just… show up as they are.

Even if the food is simple.
Even if the plan changes last minute.
Even if not everything goes perfectly.

I’m still preparing.
Not for perfection 
but for presence.

Because maybe, just maybe…
that’s what home is.

Whether you’re a Reflector, an HSP (highly sensitive person), or simply someone who feels the undercurrents you know that family doesn’t always speak in words.
But energy never lies.

This day may look ordinary from the outside.
But inside, it’s sacred.
And I’ll meet it with grace, breath, and enough softness to receive whatever unfolds.

Because I’ve been sensing the atmosphere all along.
Not controlling. Not rescuing.
Just keeping the inner climate steady enough for connection to land.

🕯️ A Reflector's note, written in the waiting.
~ July 5th is just a day. But for me… it’s a doorway.

🌱 If you felt something in this post…
Know that your quiet growth is seen.
Your stillness matters.
And sometimes, the most sacred preparation is the one no one sees.
