Thank you! Gentle is a lovely intention. We had a bit of solo time together last Fall and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed parts of it. That said—if anyone has tips for how to entertain a toddler safely while you’re cooking, I’m all ears! 😅
Oh Mariah, I so relate to you. I share those feelings that life should be slow and peaceful right now spending my days at home with my two toddlers but I also have big dreams of being able to start a creative career in something that I love. I feel like this is my chance and my window of opportunity to prove myself and get something off the ground so that I don’t have to go back to a corporate job. Then I feel selfish and as if I should solely focus on my kids and my home.
This last full moon in Virgo was in my 12th house and I had some really big clearing conversations and cried a lot. I was totally ready to give up but it didn’t last very long and I’m back on my b.s. and creating
Wow, you named the tension exactly. Feeling like this time with them is an opportunity to work on what nourishes you while also feeling guilty that you're not 100% focused on this tender age. We've discussed daycare on and off and there are a few reasons I'm hesitant to put Noah in daycare but one of them is definitely feeling like I want/need more time to nurture my writing career and creativity. I keep telling myself it doesn't have to be all or nothing but it's a bit of a mind shift I haven't quite figured out how to make yet!
I'm so glad you didn't give up and that you're back on your creative b.s.! Also that you're into astrology! I feel like we have a lot of overlap in our experiences and perspectives. Hang in there, it really helps to know I'm not alone in navigating this tension and the challenges that come with it!💗
I forgot to mention, my friend Sandra, the founder of Greenwoman, is an author and publisher. Her daughter, Zora, is an incredible editor. I would be happy to introduce you if you are interested.
Thank you for all of the resources you offer writers and the encouragement. The way you break it down makes it feel a lot more manageable and possible!
OMG I watched Marcel on a plane and couldn't stop 😭 LOVE ♥️
I can’t stop thinking about it! 🐚
Lovely update, I hope that the time when you are solo parenting is gentle. Xx

That would be lovely! I'm keeping my options open for publishing avenues and would definitely be interested in a connection. Thank you! 🙏
