#lovelists




1. Avery

2. Having a daughter who enjoys hugging me even when I look like crap.

3. Seeing completely pure creativity and imagination with zero fear of looking stupid or cynicism. 

4. The mama bear feeling.

5. Having Av sent me down a path of passion and inspiration, I wouldn't be here if it was not for her. 

6. Learning to slow down. 

7. Seeing things from a child's point of view. 

8. Not needing the damn phone all the time. 

9. Learning to trust my intuition 

11. Hearing her singing when she wakes up in the morning. 

12. Not giving a damn what other people think. 

13. Watching Av flip out when we go to the library & watching her read.

14. Seeing her eyes light up every time she spells out what is on a sign. 15. The spark of wanderlust having her ignited in me. 

16. Knowing that when I die, I leave the world in good hands with people like her. 

17. Learning to trust the unknown 

18. The responsibility of knowing I play a part in how she views herself and the world and in turn learning that I can change how I view myself and my world.

19. "My mama" 

20. The future.

Celebrating motherhood

The BABY BUZZ from Sacred Beginnings

Some time ago at #sacredbeginnings we asked the women in the tribe to make a list of #100thingsILikeAboutBeingAMother

I want to share a bit of the beauty that bloomed from this challenge...

Reasons why I love motherhood...
* it has cracked me wide open. Sometimes gently like waves wearing down rocks into sand, sometimes violently like glass breaking on tile.

*it has made me trust myself. No matter what the doctor, or the other mom on the playground, or the ever knowledgeable Google says only I am the expert on my children (this take some getting used to).

*all the words. Something about the fact that helpless babies become (very) opinionated toddlers is amazing. 

* the chance to re-do childhood. And to heal all the broken pieces and the yucky memories and FILL them with joy.

*making magic (Santa, tooth fairy, Easter bunny and magically fairy dusting all the normal moments).

*seeing my husband as a father... although we have almost no time together, our connection as a parental unit is unshakeable.

*making family traditions. I had no idea how powerful this was.

* facing my fears (Pema Chodron says something like "the experience never goes away until you learn the lesson you need to learn." Oh boy have I learned this!) 

*ears... bear with me here. I am always AMAZED that my body made those tiny ears!

*cuddles. No explanation needed.

*seeing the good (and bad) of myself in my children. And making me realize just how miraculously beautiful and painfully difficult I am.

So so grateful to this inspiration! What about you? Want to make a list?
