My brain sees connections and metaphors all the time. They smack my in the face and demand that I share them with the world.

This one is pretty legit.
Especially if you have a kid, or were a kid, or were raised by humans that were once kids.
Especially if you have hair that you coax & coerce into something acceptable with heat and chemicals.

This episode is a journey that could have many titles....

• There are many correct ways to behave
• How to stop banging your head against the same wall over and over again.
• how yo navigate the vast and exciting sea of possibilities
• how to let your heart lead the way
• how to trust yourself
• how to build a house, how to traverse a trail, how to respond to a block in the path, how to build a bridge,
• the nuance of choice

but I decided on Allowing Your House to Have a Yellow Door.

The build up to the yellow door was fascinating for me to listen to, and I'm the one that wrote it.
Come with me, lets go. I love you.

Hey there momma! Thank you for listening.

Inspired by the blank slate of a month that I was facing on April 1 and the busy birthday week that was starting on that Monday, a message of wisdom flowed from the anxiety and the feeling of "not enough time." The message of wisdom was PRIORITIES.

Priorities are choices.
Priorities are opportunities to flex our free will.
Priorities are opportunities to flex our self control.
Priorities are saying YES!
Priorities are saying NO.

And there are layers and layers of stories that can pop up in our minds as we ponder priorities.

For most of us, we are still operating, at least in part, on gifted priorities.
Priorities placed on things that we've been told are important; things we 'should' be doing.

And just like all things that you have been gifted.... You are not obligated to keep it.

Hello! and Welcome back to Season 2 of Peace by Pieces - Motherhood Edition

This was inspired in response to a reel by Libby Ward - The Diary of an Honest Mom reflecting on the often spoken but rarely unpacked "You Chose This" response to the struggles and challenges of motherhood.

What are the roots of this?
When did we disconnect from community?
How do we have a society of "not my problem..."
What are you modeling for your children?

There are these threads that weave through society, our childhoods, our parents childhoods, our kids childhoods, the past and into the future. And right now, momma, we have the opportunity to look at these things - that don't feel good or right or just or loving - and look deeper and wield our power to influence the world we're wishing to create.

Hello! and Welcome back to Season 2 of Peace by Pieces - Motherhood Edition

Whew! I get emotional on this one because it IS emotional!
We get told "They grow up so fast" and "You'll blink and they'll be driving"
And we get told "enjoy every minute"
And we get told "you'll miss this one day"
We're told "the days are long, but the years are short"

And they're right.
And by the time we truly understand these concepts for ourselves, they are already grown and we're telling the next generation of moms the same thing.

How to be HERE. Right NOW.
