Dear Ones, Is it still an act of kindness if it is not delivered? A couple days ago, my 9-year-old sonshine and I were grocery shopping. At the check out, a mother was trying to understand her bill. She didn’t have enough money for her milk and cheese. The grocery store manager removed the items […]

(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 […]

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

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.
