You are such a beautiful creative soul. Reading about your journey inspires me and makes me feel grateful! Life is not hollywood sparkles and neat endings. Some of is unpredictable and messy… and the journey allows us to grow in unexpected ways. Keep on speaking your truth!!!!

kat, what a wonderful read- thank you so much for sharing. i wanted to give a heads up that the first image is not showing up here on the blog page, though i got to see it in reader- it was gorgeous artwork, the imagery really touched my soul, and made me read this post and visit your blog and want to know more… and i hope the rest of the mamas get to see it too.

I love this so much, KAT! SOooo much! Hugs and love to you. ~lisa

Dear Lisa, your words are moving. They’ve deeply touched my heart (I’m a mother of two sons and every day I bless my fortune). Thanks for your words

I´m a bit late in this discussion, but would like to add that I make my daughter wait while I study the guitar (one of my passions), meaning she has learned to accept that when I grab the instrument, it means a good one hour of dedication to it.

I also go surfing at least twice a week. I always leave her with some friend. Some people, when see that she is crying to make me stay, like to tell her I´m going to work or do something “serious”, but I tell them not to lie. It´s important that she sees her mother doing what she loves.

Hi Lisa, I just found your blog through Organic sister and I really like it.

As for the question, I stand for seeking and inspiring parents to seek for a relevant education for our children. I am full on with my vision, acting on it everyday and being a bit addicted to this passion. I could talk and talk here…

But I´d like to read what the other moms stand for as well.

I wrote out a bunch of awesome dreams here, but then couldn’t publish it (trouble with google account).
The short version might sum it up better anyhow:
I want to live a life filled with art, beauty, and expression.
I want to help people become their bad-ass beautiful selves.. stepping into their aliveness fully head-on.
I want to mother my children so wisely and beautifully well.
I want to feel all the cells of my body tingly, open and alive, expressed in a radiant face, much of the time.
I want to be tenderly compassionate to those around me.
I want to love my life.

@Jessica.. I just really liked the picture.. it resonated with me while I was hunting around on flickr.

Lisa,

Thank you. Thank you for sharing something SO beautiful and inspirational. I need to ask…why the crows? Crows and I have a very special connection so I’m curious. Blessings!

I was actually sitting and working on my truth so send to you when this poem jumped into my in box! Inspiration for us all.
