Mother’s Day whispers*

nico_6_months_mama.jpg

Oh boy people. Feeling exhausted these days and at capacity in so many ways! Before I lay down with my new favorite book called Hope Will Find You (I am savoring every page) I just wanted to share this photo of me and Nico. He is six months old, almost crawling (which by the way I am NOT encouraging. Please stay right where you are little dude!) and full of joy.

I could learn a lot from this kid.

When I was pregnant, I had one dream about Nico. I couldn’t see his face, I didn’t know his name, but the dream told me that he was a receiver of life. He took all of life in, didn’t resist one bit of it, and knew deeply about pleasure, joy and what a gift it is to receive life fully. I see it in the way he relaxes in my arms, the way he lets me hug and kiss him (no arching and resisting involved) and the way his default mode is to grin and giggle about pretty much everything.

If I was a little angel sitting on my shoulder these days there are a few things I would whisper:
Everything’s going to be okay.
You can let go.
You are doing great.
I love you.
It’s okay to just enjoy.
You don’t have to wait anymore.

What would your whispers say?

On this blog you’ll be learning with me how to use our voices, share our creative superpowers and live life in full color.

As an artist, photographer, life coach + mentor, I’m redefining what it means to be a SUPERHERO — ‘cause in my world, it’s got nothing to do with capes, spandex or sidekicks and everything to do with tenderness, intuition & baby steps of bravery.

    you can let go of pain and just enjoy
    you are loved
    Had my first mothers day yesterday with our babygirl due tomorrow. It is so surreal to be welcoming this person whom we do not yet know into our lives, but I am so looking forward to meet her:)
    Thank you SO much for your always inspiring words and thoughts. They make me trust that life is meant to be good!

    Nico is beautiful! My 9 y.o. daughter peering over my shoulder: “They had another one, that fast? How did they do that?”
    The angel on my other shoulder whispers:
    Let go. I’ll catch you.

    In the days of singleness, a Jamaican woman/angel used to visit me whenever I drove on the highway. I rarely turned on the radio and always went over and over the details of my life as it was and how I hoped it could be one day. Inevitably I would start crying, feeling like I would never reach my vision of a truly valuable life. That is when she would visit. My whole being would fill with her presence and in her enchanting accent, she would say the funniest, most encouraging words, all the while wrapping me up in love. She told me I am beautiful. She still visits periodically, but now we reflect on life and wonder, like two souls who have been through a lot together.

    My whispers…
    –hope will come
    –be courageous
    –it’s okay to smile
    Also, a little startled and happy to see your book reference and discover the author after clicking through. I stumbled upon “To Begin Again” years ago during my first adult tragedy. I always felt like the book found me. I’ve purchased her other books since then — her tone and style are so approachable.
