“I want to raise my children to overcome fear. Fear of failure, Fear of rejection, Fear of anything & everything that can stand in their way...” ✨ From in issue no.4 of #TheVillage written by Heather Templeton. Happy Sunday! #BringingBackTheVillage
Going into Friday like HIP HOP HOORAY! It has been a week let me tell you, between my husband's surgery complications, kids projects, and general exhaustion, I'm welcoming this weekend with open arms. I went to @starbucks today to finally get some work done, and detox from this trying week. As soon as I sat down an older gentleman started talking to me, part of me didn't want to engage, but instead, I sat back smiled and just listen to him as he spoke. After he got up thirty minutes later he looked at me and smiled, "it was so nice chatting with you...well really, it was so nice that you listened to me, no one ever listens to me", I smiled and replied, "of course, we all need to be heard", he thanked me again and went on his way. After he left, I popped my headphones in and began working, soon after my phone died, I needed some information that was on it, so I closed my laptop to run to my car and grab a plug; it was then that an elderly lady said, "all done with your work?" I smiled and told her not quite yet, my work is really never done haha. Then she and her husband who were in their late 80's started talking to me, about everything and nothing at all, motherhood, politics, grandchildren, children, my business, WW2, etc. She told me how she had been stuck in the house for quite some time with hip pain, so her husband decided to take her out, she joked "women have about 4,000 words they need to get out a day", I nodded in agreement while her husband laughed. We chatted for a good forty-five minutes and then I realized it was time to pick up my daughter from pre-school. "It was such a pleasure speaking with you" I said, she looked at me and said, "thank you so much for speaking with us, no one talks anymore, everyone lets their differences divide them, people are just too busy to talk and listen to each other, what you're doing is so important, and we wish you all the best, thank you." . We're all fighting a hard battle, but a listening ear no matter what you're going through is worth its weight in gold, and as I drove home, I suddenly realized, they had given me something too, an afternoon free from my own worries, they gave me peace. #ItTakesAVillage
Remember when you wished for what you have now?⁣ ⁣ Sometimes we forget that we wished for this,⁣ for now,⁣ for this moment right here,⁣ for these children who can drive us nuts,⁣ for this job we have,⁣ for this house,⁣ for this love,⁣ for these "things",⁣ just as we wish more for our future;⁣ ⁣ The most important part of the journey is recognizing that right now is all you have,⁣ now is the time to smile,⁣ now is the time to laugh,⁣ now is the time to relish deeply in this life we've been so graciously given.⁣ ⁣ There will always be something trying to steal your joy, angry people, stubbed toes, silly mistakes, mosquitoes, deep hurts, trauma, illness; but my friend, that happiness you seek, that fullness, it's right here, right now, the trick is to let it wash over you and let the rest fade away.⁣ ⁣ Let's choose joy, today and everyday, even if for a moment, because those moments can turn into a permanent mindset if you let it.⁣ ⁣ Wishing you a lovely day.⁣ .⁣ #BringingBackTheVillage⁣ ⁣ #TheVillageWisdom #parenting #motherhood #parentlife #thevillage #ittakesavillage #life #happyiness #joy #choices #hurt #trauma #hurting #nowisallwehave #choosejoy and #breathe #thevillagewisdom
“I want to forgive (but not forget), but it seems that I cannot. At least, not yet.⁣ ⁣ So maybe this is where I allow myself to just be angry for a while and to experience the ups and downs of this intense and sometimes erratic emotion. Maybe this is what Thich Nhat Hanh means when he advises that we take care of our anger, rather than suppressing it or sweeping it under the rug for another day. Just let it be and wait for a shift.⁣ ⁣ I also feel confused, and this is uncomfortable for me. As what increasingly feels like “my former self,” I felt grounded a good portion of the time. I knew the things I had to do stay centered, or to re-center during difficult times. Running, yoga, hiking, hot baths, sitting quietly, and having intimate discussions with other women - these tools grounded me.⁣ ⁣ Now, I am grasping clumsily at my tools. I look for the motivation and focus to use them in between straight-up demands for breast milk from my little one, and seemingly endless bids for attention from my eldest. When I get my hands on a tool, I fumble with it and use it awkwardly, without the skill and ease that used to be there.⁣ ⁣ I want the confusion to go away, but again, maybe that is a denial of the present, of what is in this moment. I challenge myself to just be confused, knowing deep down that eventually, the answer will be revealed to me.⁣” Written by Dana Brokofsky⁣ TODAY ON THE BLOG: Read this touching piece in it's entirety over on our blog.⁣ #TheVillageDaily . . . #TheVillageWisdom #support #community #relationships #motherhood # #momlife #parenting #parenthood #mama #ItTakesAVillage #TheVillage #mothers
