This week as a human...

moment to moment living

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. Rumi

This week I stood at the kitchen counter and ate vegetables with scrambled eggs for lunch while contemplating the actual costs involved in following one’s own truth, and concluded once again, that the cost is extremely high, and it’s totally worth it.

This week in motherhood I felt pride swell in my chest as I helped my 12 year old daughter write an outline for a persuasive essay, her chosen topic, “Why adults should speak with kindness to kids”, her deepest passion born out of her own painful experiences.

This week in marriage, I connected with my husband after work, because we had an argument last weekend that made us realized we needed to spend more time focused on our life together in the evenings. We cooked dinner together a few times this week but the best thing was when I sat down and watched “Conan without Borders” with him for an evening. I laughed so hard that I could feel my abs which means I also connected with myself and my body.

This week in being a woman I pushed up against engrained but false “good feminist” mind traps (such as : “Be a woman who can do it all!”) when I chose contentment and peace in folding laundry, cleaning my stovetop, organizing a few drawers and holding my people with love all while not making much trackable progress in my business.  I can do anything, but not everything. 

This week I shopped at Costco, read about grief and tried to feel into my own, stayed calm while my child expressed anger, walked in the sunshine, smelled spring in the rain, arrived late three times to scheduled things, made some art and felt a deep well of gratitude for my friends all over the world. 

What happened for you as a human this week? 

with love,
