Hello to all you ambitious power houses out there... To all you high achievers...doing, doing, doing doing... I know you, ... I see you, I am you... I am giving you permission to stop. Take a moment... Take a day... Take a breath... Put the laundry down... Step away from your computer... Order in... Let the house be less than perfect... Put your phone in a drawer far, far away... Take a slow walk and sit next to a tree... Trust that you will come back to the task at hand... Take yourself out on a date... Play... We need your cup to stay full and bubbling over with life... You have already arrived... If you are reading this, you have a really expensive phone in your hand... you have made it. You are most likely not worried about having food or paying your bills... Congratulations... Celebrate... Be more... Do less... You are enough... I’m taking Saturday off... I love you

I will be there along side you, loving you up... Recently someone asked me what my parenting philosophy is. I replied that I do my best to parent as little as possible and to just love her up as much as I can. I like to think of being a parent as noun not a verb. I think there is too much pressure to be constantly parenting... and I’m doing my best not to fall in this trap. ... My only job as her parent is to love her unconditionally, all the time. If there is anything else that I am actively doing managing, or molding it is towards myself not to her. Being her parent has allowed me to be more mindful of my own reactions, to become more present, to practice patients, to play more, find joy and lightness, move through transitions more fluidly, adjust and change as needed and to love more fully. All this to say I do not think my daughter is perfect. But to me she is perfectly being human. She’s only 3 years old. She throws tantrums and fits. She’s a bit crazy. She often will have a dozen raw emotions in one 1 minute. She is not reasonable. Haha. She is a picky eater. She is fierce, wild and untamable. She has come out and into this world with her own strengths and shortcomings that she will have to learn to navigate... and through it all I will be right by her side loving her up. I am not a parenting expert. I have no advice for you. I have one kid and a lot of help. I see this whole parenting thing is a big experiment and kind of an impossible task to get right. To those of you who are single parents, have a child with special needs, don’t have help or additional resources or even just have more than one kid...I think you are an amazing warrior and I bow down to you. We are all just doing our best. I know I am... And my best is enough. When I know better, I do better. I continued to learn from @janetlansbury and @doctorshefali Thank you for your wisdom. This is not an easy time to raise our children. We need each other’s support more than ever. The judgments and competition for best parent award need to stop. Let’s help each other out. If you need some support let me know... I only have one kid...and a lot of help. #parenting #motherhood
