the current economic climate has me thinking a lot about making your own fate. as i try to figure out what our family's fate is. . .i look for inspiration. muses.
summer has been writing an inspiration series on her blog. for all the people who say there should be a less fluff more "real" mommy blog out there. . .here's some real writing on the topic of retaining a sense of oneself while mothering. and even better, developing and growing as a person while mothering. you can find them here, here, here, here, and here.
i often require mini mental breaks throughout the day while i am mothering and partnering (domestically). here are my favorite new to me inspiring websites:
great name. . .honestlywtf
this one led me to honestlywtf and i found her via design*sponge
and i am embarrassed to say i just recently began frequenting the smitten kitchen.
i wrote about being grateful during harvest recently. and how sometimes it takes death to remind us what is important. i forgot that it. . .death. . .can also remind us about inspiration. the passed can help us remember that even the inspiring need to be inspired. this poem was on a program for a funeral i went to this year. i never knew the title until i googled it about 1/2 hour ago. makes sense.
do you believe food can inspire? i have been thinking about how i live in a bubble where most everyone i know and talk to loves food. they believe in the power of food. that food can heal physically and mentally. that food can evoke change. i am not naive. . .i realize this ain't how most people think. hence, the kings: fast food joints and prepackaged, processed food.
what, if not food, inspires you? what inspires the people you know and talk to? do you believe in making your own fate?
