I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how I want my life to be. I’m not aiming for a life that’s filled with excitement and wonder every day, but I do want a life where I’m growing and evolving and not settling, dammit. (though let’s be honest, I’m still going to make time for a little bit of that, too). If I want things to change, if I want things to improve, then I’m the person who has to get out there and make it happen.
The past few Januarys I have been setting my intention for the coming year with a single word. But honestly, it’s good to have something positive to focus on, and sometimes one single word is a whole lot more doable than resolutions. My word for 2018 is compassion. I know that most of us are a little judgy from time to time (at least), but for me, for where I am in my life right now, I know that it’s time to try and lay that to rest.
I’ve been working on a special Christmas gift for my daughters; a book filled with cute stories from when they were little. We have a lot of funny little stories that I tell the girls from when they were small. Before that, when I was pregnant, through to when my girls were toddlers, I kept journals, filled with my thoughts on motherhood, and lots of stories about my daughters, after they were born. There’s nothing like the smell of a newborn or a gummy baby smile or seeing your little one walk for the first time.
