I so enjoy my grown kids now! Diapers and split milk are not always the norm. Talk a deep breathe and try to connect to each phase of mommyhood! They really do grow up so quickly. You will find the time to do what you love!<br />Happy Wrecking Blessings!Sharonhttp://schutt.net/sharon/2009/07/still-wrecking-week-7/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-64144506744049116482009-07-23T16:56:47.301-04:002009-07-23T16:56:47.301-04:00I love the poem.

Tired from too much talking and sound and doing and running...<br /><br />All I can think is that you must be kind to yourself. Patient. Loving. Nurturing. Not expecting so very much. Knowing that they will both be in school someday and you will get some precious hours back to yourSELF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-87976971562579472972009-07-23T11:16:08.820-04:002009-07-23T11:16:08.820-04:00A song.A song.jena stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100001628157963179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-52095111342797778352009-07-23T01:52:29.297-04:002009-07-23T01:52:29.297-04:00Oh Rowena, thank you for sharing from your heart.
...Oh Rowena, thank you for sharing from your heart.<br /><br />The painting--I really love it. I don't know painterly terms, but it has an "old-fashioned" feel to it that I really like. And the horizontal lines seem really integrated with the whole piece. And the colors: feels as if you are feeling beginnings.<br /><br />Then your poem. Wow. Yet one more area of expression where you really get to me. One line stood out in neon to me: "rushing past the very things that make my heart beat"<br /><br />Okay, don't shoot me for sounding simplistic, but what if you stop. Stop rushing past. The core of you is noticing the things that make your heart beat. Why not let the rest of you listen to what your core is telling you . . .we make so many choices in our days and we write our lists and we try so damn hard to do all we are "supposed" to do. And do we ever "get it done"????<br /><br />So what if we mutiny . . . and just stop ourselves mid-rush and notice--really notice--whatever it is that is making our heart beat. IT IS IMPORTANT. What if we picked up our to-do list only AFTER we have stopped and spent time with whatever is calling to our hearts . .. maybe we would find ourselves and our lives transformed. <br /><br />We are not meant to rush around madly. The core of us is calling to us, over and over. What if we finally listened?<br /><br />Okay. I'll stop preaching.aquamaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368274520999097910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9860046.post-83561440005581642922009-07-23T00:24:16.829-04:002009-07-23T00:24:16.829-04:00Hello Rowena!

And I recognize all the yearnings and living in the poem. <br /><br />It is such a tricky balance, parent and artist. Luckily my girls are both interested in making art. So sometimes we can draw together and sometimes they understand that I need some creative time alone. <br /><br />I don't know what you do with your kids, but since my girls were very little, I've bought them hard-bound sketch books, so that they have a place to make art. We also buy packages of typing/printer paper from the dollar store for everyday drawing, cutting, and taping, but having their own sketch book like mommy's I think has helped them know that I take their creating seriously, and I need them to take mine seriously, too.<br /><br />I'm rambling :-)inahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819730967573111539noreply@blogger.com
