Never give up on your dreams

06/09/2023

I come from a long line of entrepreneurs (some more successful than others), farmers, pioneers, a short line of female doctors and one very very famous writer ✍️😂

Olivia and I were fortunate enough to be travelling through Pocatello, Idaho and found the building that housed my grandfather’s grocery store and where my mom lived “above the shop”….just like Olivia and I did when I opened up my “shop” in NYC 22 years ago….

All the opportunities over the last 22 years that I said yes to in the face of
Fear
Or insecurity
Or unworthiness….
have put me on a life Path that I could never could have have dreamed of ….
The good, the bad and the zany…..

Fear still rears its head, but now it is met by courage because I know that leaning in generates strength and grit…

& more opportunities…

There is nothing that can keep me from moving forward….

Insecurity lost the war to the hero inside who repeatedly picked me up, dusted me off, and resurrected my spirit to keep fighting the good fight ….

There is no doubt in my capability to adapt to the inevitability of change…..

Lack of worth will hide in the dark corners of your mind, but shine the light from an open heart and they will become exposed and weak….

There is nothing that is out of my reach if I believe I am worthy of it….

And we are all worthy of it….

Motherhood is an action not a label…

While it is a special and particular gift to birth a child (or 3) from one’s body, to have a child by surrogate, to adopt a child, to foster a child…anyone who actively nurtures another soul is effectively a “mother”…

Aunts can mother, sisters can mother, friends can mother…even strangers can mother….

Because Motherhood is always an Action…

To nurture another soul with the selfless mindset to help them reach THEIR full potential in this life

To plant the seeds that grow a solid human capable of spreading those seeds when given the time comes to help grow another solid human

To love them without condition so they can be free to experience the joys of life trusting that they are innately worthy of its goodness not in exchange for performance or perfection

To listen to them, even when they are not speaking, so they feel heard and and learn to be attuned to others who may be silently suffering

To show them trust so they learn to trust themselves, take risks, and find confidence in their capabilities without you

To practice honesty every day so that they will always start from a place of truth, humility, forgiveness and compassion for themselves and others.

To show them that resolving conflict can be a shared goal; achieved calmly and respectfully with those you love, those you collaborate with, and with strangers.

To fortify them with life skills physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually so that they can rise to any occasion and weather any storm with confidence…so they exhibit their strength through vulnerability as well as grit…

To regularly share life experiences with them so that they value quality time and connection and remain curious and involved.

When in doubt…..lead with your heart, your humility, your honesty, your humanity and your humor….

Also you have to make them food give them money or drive them anywhere any time of the day at a moments notice for at least 23 years….the struggle is real…and I wouldn’t exchange it for anything.

A great way to end

Maybe this is why I have always been drawn to libraries,books and poetry…

Here is one of my favorites by my cousin Em….😄 📖 ✍️ 💕

BY EMILY DICKINSON
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops — at all -
And sweetest — in the Gale — is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
