In honor of the tenth anniversary of Red Tent Living, we are featuring a monthly legacy post written by one of our regular contributors from the past decade. Dr. Natasha Stevens was one of the first women of color to say to yes to writing for us. She was a life-giving source of wisdom, encouragement, and joy. She passed on to Jesus in October 2022, and we miss her voice and her "yes" energy daily. This post originally appeared in September 2018.
Where had the summer gone? Faced with so many responsibilities, I walked to the edge of the shore and curled the sand back with my toes. On the surface of the water, I watched my reflection converge with my shadow on the sand. I'm sure I looked silly, standing there watching the kids play, attempting to keep up with them.
Where did my rhythm go? I was a very good dancer, but for some reason, I could not keep up. One of the kids said, "You're just getting older."
What?
