I just repurposed a piece of my writing in a new space about my daughter’s birth – not so much the story of the birth itself, but the shift that happened that gave room for her to be born.
It’s easy to see when babies are born. Ideas, less so.
The idea for Motherhood Reinvented came about one rainy day in January almost three years ago. The idea itself was a big one, and following it has since changed the course of my life and at least a few others along the way. It’s been amazing!
I’ve had some big realizations in the past year that have had me looking at what it all means. Am I my brand? What is this work I’m doing? Who am I helping? What is the impact? Who am I? Where am I going?
What’s interesting and noteworthy, to me at least, is that the baby that was born on that rainy day in January doesn’t look the same to me anymore.
It was bound to happen.
I mean, look at the evidence. All I have to do is look in the mirror.
(top) Me, around age 4.
(bottom) Me, around age 40.
Same girl.
(But time and experience certainly changes how we look and how we look at things.)
All that said, this is the long and short way of explaining that I’ve moved. I’m closing the doors of Motherhood Reinvented on November 1. I’m still doing phenomenal, life changing work with incredible people, but I’m doing it in a bigger and broader sense that can’t be contained in this womb for another minute.
