For You My Darling: On Being ‘Mother’

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Being Mother means

Letting there be less of me 

So there might be more of you. 

Making myself smaller 

So that there’s room for you to grow. 

In that lessening, 

My heart grows with you. 

Larger and more wonderous 

Every day.

With Peace and Passion.

Let’s Roll That Beautiful Bean Footage

Walking to buy ice cream!

Okay so we’re totally doing this. I’m writing a blog. From the mouth of one of history’s greatest philosophers,

“This is my life. In my own words, I guess.”- Eminem.

Dear Gods what have I done?

Why am I doing this crazy, wonderful thing?

  • Because…Reasons. Yeah, I got nothing.
  • See above.

All jokes aside, why am I doing this? Exposing myself and everything I love to strangers on the internet. It sounds like lunacy, right? Well, yes. Entirely. But I suppose it’s because I have a wonderful amazing life that is filled with passion and joy and I want to share those things with you. I want to share the things that I love and cherish, the thoughts that are on my mind for better or ill.

Consequently, like my own brain that is filled with rabbit trails, outdated memes and overcaffeinated anthropomorphic Twix bars, this blog is going to be a bit of this and a heap of that. I want to tell you about all of the things that I experience. The things that I love, struggle with, grieve, and think. A few examples of that melting pot would be:

  • Parenting my Evil Three Year Old Overlord.
  • Being a witchy mama, a pagan in a non-pagan world.
  • Tarot and other types of divination methods
  • Unschooling and Relaxed Homeschooling
  • Environmentally Conscious Living
  • Writing
  • Maybe Gaming?
  • My Medical Journey (and it is a doozy, let me tell you.)
  • Yoga and Meditation Methods
  • Reviews of books and products as they pertain to the above.

But who knows really? As people our beliefs evolve as we learn, grow, and discover new things and new parts of ourselves. I may decide tomorrow to do seasonal coffee reviews (and now that I think about that I just may do a few of those). Just like real life, we are changeable and ever evolving, ever growing. My toddler went from being obsessed with Cars one month to being the biggest Paw Patrol fan ever.

Also, who lets a ten year old and a group of dogs be the only emergency responders for an entire town? Does anyone else think that’s completely bizarre? Just me?

My point, I suppose, is this- We should always strive to be the truest version of ourselves that we can be. This is my life. My journey and all of the million little journeys that make it up. Whether you’re a witch, a parent, a teacher, a gamer, all of them or none of them, there are adventures no matter where you look.

Life is filled with wonder. Excitement. Curiosity. The world is made up of journeys that you can take.

No matter which direction your life takes there are Little Journeys Everywhere.

With Peace and Passion.
