New Beginnings
|
Hi Reader, Yesterday was Rosh Hashanah (or the Jewish New Year). Shana Tova if you celebrated. I love Rosh Hashanah, and any other reason besides January 1 to have a new beginning. A reminder that no matter where we are, what we are doing, we have a chance to start fresh. As a mama, this feels important almost daily. The permission to reset, reevaluate and potentially repair every day, the regular readjustments to the seasons and our little ones' needs, and our own physical and emotional changes as we manage all this. With that, I wish you a healthy, harmonious year ahead. One that brings meaning, as many fresh starts as you need, and as much joy and connection as you can handle. Yours in peace, PS With new beginnings, I created a new page. I am working to make things easier with Raising Slow (for me and you), so I created an "everything page" with almost everything I've ever made (it's a work in progress). I'm hoping to make it easier to access the resources throughout the year, rather than waiting for a launch. I'd love for you to head over there and take a look. PPS If you see something you like, use the code FALL24 for 20% off everything except the $9 offers. It's good through October. |

Hi Reader, A few weeks ago, I wrote about my annual fall effort to simplify, my general failure at doing so this time of year, and the inevitable near panic attack I have as the season unfolds. It gets busy this time of year for most of us. Our schools expect more, our kids expect more (costumes! gifts! parties!), we expect more of ourselves (I mean, I am decorating for no less than 5 holidays and a birthday in the next few months). I start out with the absolute best intentions. "This year I...
Hello dear mama, Thank you for being here with me on this motherhood journey. Raising Slow has always been a way for me to work through my own generational patterns, bad habits, lack of presence and patience. Originally, It was my sole intention was to write. Just get it all down, hit publish, and hold myself accountable. And, it worked. Writing out my worries and concerns, telling you the mistakes I made and how I felt, committing to what I wanted to be as a mom (the actions, more often than...
Hi Reader, Right around this time of year, we all notice the leaves and cooler days (although we almost certainly have a few more 100-degree beach days in our future). We're well set with our school and extracurricular schedules. Things feel... easy. Then, I get the first note about Halloween. And start thinking decorations, costumes, party plans... From then on, we ramp up through Harvest festival, family birthdays, Thanksgiving... you know the drill. It's inescapable. I love all of it. It...
