Deeply moved by your words, thank you for sharing your heart so beautifully. I struggle in my own relationship with my mother and I too, have found a powerful connection to Mama Gaia in the last 7 years ...and even more so in the last 3 since having my daughter. I am in awe of the way I am held and I loved your call to change the perspective of how life is treating us. Your words have made me reflect on my struggles with my own mother and how I can have more grace in this relationship. Thank you, can’t wait to read more 🤍
Thank you for sharing 🙏 Realizing the limits I put on life that stem from childhood wounding has been helpful in seeing how I’m cutting myself off from the flow of energy, resources, and abundance from a fear of not being worthy or life not being capable of meeting my needs. When that’s our early experience from our human mother or caregiver, it’s easy to see how we can carry that forward and apply it to Life itself!
Slowly shining light on these beliefs with curiosity and compassion for myself and believing in a different way. ✨💗
I really enjoyed reading this article Mariah, it helped me to look at a lot of my re-directions from life in a powerful new light through your stove analogy. I particularly liked when you shared "I’m able to release my expectations around how and when my needs will be met." - trusting they always will be, yet the timing and the exact manifestation of those needs. Thank you 💖
Thank you for sharing your reflections! It's one of the unexpected joys of motherhood- to be able to see how my own childlike perspective as a human in a big, wide universe might keep me from always seeing how things are shaking out for my own good or protection. It's honestly just a new framework I'm trying out and noticing how it feels to wear it around for awhile. 💗
I have similarly journelled notes to a Mama God as I sought healing in my life.
I can’t say I believe the universe is malevolent, but it’s also hard at times to view it as benevolent. I probably have a more neutral view more often than not. It’s something to contemplate 🤔
Mama God...even if its existence is only in our imagination, I think it says something tender and beautiful about our human need for this presence.
The more I go through life the more I hold my own beliefs with an open palm and a lot of flexibility...I can't be certain that my way of seeing the world or the fragile systems of meaning I create hold any real truth outside of my need for them.
So I ask myself a lot...is this belief serving me? If so, how? If not, why do I continue to believe it? It's very antithetical to how I was brought up in a Christian household with the idea that there's a big capital T truth and only certain people know it or have it. But I'm okay with that, for now. 🙂

How does it feel so far for you? 😊
