My great grandmother was named Cerena. My grandparents named my mom after her, creating a beautiful name Serin. In time it would be known just how fitting a name it was for my mom.
I had the idea to write a daily blog, Living with Serin-ity, when I moved back in to my childhood home with mom. Taking her lead to live life with true serenity, demonstrated amazingly as she faced her brain cancer diagnosis. I hope to fill in the story - as the writings didn't all make it here. But every day on that journey is clear in my mind. You never forget it. Its a life tattoo.
Mom passed Dec 3, 2011. It feels like yesterday. And its been way too long since Ive seen her. Its only been a year. I am still learning lessons from her daily... I am touched by the fragility of life. Amazed by the strength of humans. Shocked at the pain and loss we all have to endure. And moved by beauty that continues to shine amongst us every single day. I promised my mom I would continue to live fully, and seek out the light. My musings help me to explore my thoughts and hopefully keep me coming back to the gifts and joy that is life. To live with true serenity.
