Dear Fellow Momma (of littles, during quarantine) on Mother’s Day,

It may have taken a global pandemic for the world to realize that it’s us Moms who often sacrifice our needs for society to function. Us Moms who often carry the weight of the world. And you know what? It’s getting really heavy.

The truth is, I don’t know how we do it, either. I’ve become the teacher (teachers are my new heroes), chef (how is it that all the world’s children are going through a growth spurt at the same time?), maid, referee, cuddler, chief logistics officer, boo boo kisser - while desperately craving some space and freedom to breath.

As the often invisible glue that holds families together - I think we are finally “seen” by the world for all we do. All we handle. All we sacrifice. All the love we give.

But here’s the big question, DO YOU “see” you?

“Life has so much to offer, and if you too want more I want you to hop, skip, dance and run toward it - joyfully.”

It’s International Women’s Day and we are living in an incredible time. Women no longer have to choose one thing to be or do. We have discovered the power of AND and we are just beginning.
