The past couple of weeks, I have had significantly less nerve pain. I don’t feel like myself again, but I feel better. I found myself blazing through my day yesterday and not even noticing pain or more importantly, no-pain. Does it really only take a week to forget to pause in deep, profound gratitude for [...]

Earlier today I posted about getting on the stress roller coaster. I am now off. I called Papa Bear and asked him to come home early if possible and I stopped packing. I took the monkey and the dog beast to the park and played until Papa arrived. When he got home, I got in [...]

My somewhat intense baby has transformed overnight into an uber-intense toddler. I turn my back and he is standing on the kitchen table, pounding on my laptop or downloading music on my cell phone (right before he throws it into the toilet). The cell phone company was very nice about taking that extra 14 bucks [...]

There is something powerful about being in circle with other women. Looking around the room, I saw strong, [...]

As we near the end of our week of Self Nurture, I would love to reflect on how we as busy mamas can bring this tender care into our everyday lives. One mama posted these beautiful words about her new nurturing practice: I bought myself a wind chime and hung it outside my window. Throughout [...]
