After addressing motherhood as it relates to my career over and over again in conversation, I found author Lauren Groff’s rejection of it to be a sort of awakening and I, too, have always challenged the assumption that motherhood is a sacrifice and work is something I carry guilt around. Being a mother is deeply fulfilling. Work is, too. I love her insistence that it be a separate conversation from career and that fathers should be included in the expectation and notion that work/life balance challenges will inevitably come with parenting. “… it was a truth that mothers, having already lost their liberty when they bore children, having been tethered to the earth with this new soft tender body they must now protect forever, were the ones who understood the delicate balance between the price of freedom and the price of their children’s lives. I think that, in our society, the idea of motherhood is pathologically ill, and even well-meaning people assume martyrdom in a mother. Guilt and shame are the tools used to keep people in line; the questions I get most at readings or in interviews are about being a mother and writer, when I’m expected to do this this sort of tap dance of humility that I have no desire or ability to dance. I think people are mostly kind and don’t know that, when they ask these questions of women, they are asking us to perform a kind of ceremonial subjection—that we’re not allowed our achievements without first denigrating ourselves or saying, with a sigh, “Yes, that’s correct, I’m a writer and a mother, and it’s so hard, and, no, I don’t do it well.” The truth is, doing these things is hard because being a good parent is always hard, but the difficulty of parenting is separate from the difficulty of work.” Messed-up collective assumptions about gender dynamics help explain why women in the US still do about twice the childcare and housework that men do—an imbalance that’s reflected globally. Groff’s refusal to play the role of the harried and guilty working mother is not just refreshing. It’s a significant step toward undoing those assumptions.
We burned what doesn’t feel right anymore and danced together in the flames of new beginnings… a sweeter, softer, sillier cycle of the same old stuff. Thank you for these photos @adampetrishin

On this last day of 2023, I woke up in a familiar paradise… and saw my reflection in the garden… a heavy feeling of both appreciation and despair rose up in me… a sense that the path ahead will lead me far into unknown territory… that it must… there is a knowing in my heart and a desire for more connection while also feeling stuck… polarized by the darkness and the light of the life I am living… the juxtapositions… I want to soften more into the beauty of simply being true… trusting… in creativity… in essential nature… I need it to be ok to not know… for everyone… to release the demands… and open to the vulnerability of great potential. It’s a new time. It just is. Then I read this @mariapopova Often when something is ending we discover within it the spore of new beginning, and a whole new train of possibility is in motion before we even realize it. When the heart is ready for a fresh beginning, unforeseen things can emerge. And in a sense, this is exactly what a beginning does. It is an opening for surprises. Surrounding the intention and the act of beginning, there are always exciting possibilities. FOR A NEW BEGINNING by John O’Donohue In out-of-the-way places of the heart, Where your thoughts never think to wander, This beginning has been quietly forming, Waiting until you were ready to emerge. For a long time it has watched your desire, Feeling the emptiness growing inside you, Noticing how you willed yourself on, Still unable to leave what you had outgrown. It watched you play with the seduction of safety And the gray promises that sameness whispered, Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent, Wondered would you always live like this. Then the delight, when your courage kindled, And out you stepped onto new ground, Your eyes young again with energy and dream, A path of plenitude opening before you. Though your destination is not yet clear You can trust the promise of this opening; Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning That is at one with your life’s desire. Awaken your spirit to adventure; Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk; Soon you will be home in a new rhythm, For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
