Today felt like such a gift. Every Friday we gather as moms with our little ones, but today had a different kind of magic. One of the moms opened her home and we created our own Thanksgiving together. Kids running everywhere, food on every surface, noise, laughter, someone crying in one corner, someone laughing in another. It was messy and sweet and so real.
Before we ate, I gathered all the children and started singing:
We are circling circling together
We are singing singing our heartsong
This is family this is unity
This is celebration this is sacred
Standing there with all those little faces looking up and all the women around us holding babies, sharing stories, checking in on one another, I felt this huge wave of gratitude.
I am so lucky to have this community of women who get it. Women who show up for each other. Women who understand the need for connection and support, not just for our kids but for ourselves as mothers.
I feel honored to be part of this circle. The loud parts, the tender parts, the chaotic parts, the moments that make your heart swell. I feel so blessed to be held by a group of women who care this deeply.
