(A personal reflection on mothering and parenthood.) “Music is not in the notes but in the silence between.” ~Wolfy Mozart Being a mother is ever changing. It’s not a role to “ACE” or master. Motherhood offers a chance–just like all roles we play in life–to learn, grow and emerge–rinse and repeat. My pace does not […]
Dear Hearts, On Valentine’s Day 3,000 people of different religious faiths gathered to celebrate coexistence and sing Matisyahu’s prayerful song, One Day.

Hello Dearhearts! Last year so many people cheered me on and backed my attendance at the Appalachian State Expressive Arts Therapy Institute, in North Carolina. Thank you so very much!

A prayer for my now: Help me to greet the world as I truly am— whole–enough–flawed–wild–open And not how I wish the world to receive me— separate–good–perfect–tame–limited. Truth. Is. Being. Real. Connected. A speck in all. ❤ becky j suzik
Sistah Becky,
This reminds me of another of my favorite quotes:
“We don’t have to do anything to be glorious; to be so is our nature. If we have read, studied, and loved; if we have thought as deeply as we could and felt as deeply as we could; if our bodies are instruments of love given and received – then we are the greatest blessing in the world. Nothing needs to be added to that to establish our worth.” — Marianne Williamson, A Woman’s Worth
Thank you for the reminder! xoxo
Peace AND Prosperity,
Kate
Thanks for this, Becky – I really needed it!
Oh, Becky! I adore you!
Beautiful poem! Is it ok if I share it with others (giving you credit, of course)?
Thank you (((ALL))) for holding this supportive and loving space. Linda, I’d be most honored. Thank you. _/\_
I like reading you, thank you very much! And I love the italics of harmful signs of aging and your response to that concept. I’d never thought of it that way. I will happily adopt that idea from you.
