Gift ideas for inner child healing encourages us to remember the creative and imaginative parts of our spirit, that have been tucked away for far too long.
I know for me, motherhood has given me the permission slip to reconnect with my inner child like never before.
- Running around the park chasing my energetic toddler around? No one bats an eyelash.
- Splashing in puddles, making mud pies in the rain? It’s for her sake, of course…
- Making an art craft with loads of glue and bright colors? No problem!!
Honestly? It makes my heart so happy to re-engage with this sacred playfulness, curiosity, and creativity that so many of us forget we’re capable of in adulthood..
