The gift of our car breaking down this morning. No The gift of our car breaking down this morning. No option to get him to daycare or run my errands. My beautiful son cuddled up for his morning nap on me. Sure, it’s inconvenient, but I can still work from home. And this, his baby snores and all, is everything. *I acknowledge that this is privilege. The fact that my car breaking down won’t cause me to lose my job or impact my income and can be experienced as a gift is not lost on me. #theverymom #magicofmotherhood #motherhoodintheraw #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeeding #boymom
For years (8?😳) I’ve put in work to grow my p For years (8?😳) I’ve put in work to grow my platforms because it’s what the publishing world requires. But it’s a game that’s exhausting. We’re told, “Have something to say, but don’t be too loud!” “Keep it real, but if real is pretty or easy, just keep it to yourself.” “Joke and be lighthearted, people like that, just don’t offend anyone.” “Whatever you do, avoid anything controversial.” Keep people around by keeping them happy. I wasn’t created for that, I don’t believe in it. It’s an impossible task anyhow. I’m here to express myself creatively, speak my truth, learn from others, and hopefully make a positive impact on those who choose to stick around. So, HI THERE🤗…I’ve got #10thingstotellyou : 1. I’ve been in the process of transitioning my hair back to it’s natural color, which apparently is a lot darker than when I was a kid. I like it. 2. Try eating peanut butter on a honey graham cracker. Thank me later. 3. Our place here in LA feels most like home than anywhere else ever has. 4. E and I realized that an unhealthy me would look a lot like Mare from Mare of Easttown. 5. An iced mocha a day keeps the doctor away. OK, obviously not, but it’s working for me. 6. We slept trained Shia (for what feels like the 10th time) and it’s actually working this time!!! I’ve gotten two nights of sleep and the whole world is better for it. 7. I’m proud of my marriage with @ericleecarpenter and it’s not because it’s easy, rather we do the work. 8. My daily job is a hodgepodge of contracts and pursuits that I care about. I like it that way. 9. Cheering people on is my hobby. 10. I’ve got more questions than answers when it comes to faith, but I feel really thankful for my relationship with God. Thanks for choosing to be here even though I’m loud, real, and controversial at times. Tell me something. Anything!
