i just wanted a soft, safe place to land on the website if you’re having a hard time. they guys helped me come up with a new page.
i’ll be adding to it as i go along, and hope that it can be a place to just come and sit and hang out and feel like you’re not alone.
we’ve only just begun! come on over and check it out if you’re in the mood. you can find it here. and you can also find the link to it in a banner across the home page.
let’s face it,
there’s a ton of people out there who
aren’t mother’s day fans.
there are too many angles to that day that can hurt.
there are women who wanted children but could never have them.
there are women who had to give their children up.
there are the people who had abusive moms.
there are the people who lost their children.
there are a million scenarios that cause pain.
and lots of ways to get hurt with mother’s day.
i felt bad about that and wanted to soften the edges.
so recently, i sat myself down with the intention of writing something
for the people who struggle with this day. (i have to kinda work ahead
of the curve here so i can have stuff ready on time.)
as i sat and wrote, i began to realize something.
it was dawning on me that we have been missing what is quite possibly
the most important mothering that there can be –
the mothering of ourselves.
ohmygosh. can you imagine if that was included in the celebrating
as well as truly encouraged in our lives?!
well, we gotta start somewhere, right?
so i figure bone sigh arts is a good place to start!
i created TWO prints designed to either work separately or as a set.
both are reminders that the love we’re looking for and need
is right inside us. and has been all along.
this feels really good to offer.
if you know someone who could use a reminder,
consider sharing this with them and letting them know
they’re not alone.
we all can be working towards a deeper self nurturing and self love.
you can see the images below.
click on the titles above each quote and you will be directed to their page on the website.
or search for them on the site under their titles – ‘mothering herself‘ and ‘there it was’.
there it was,
waiting for her.
the love that had never been given.
the love she had craves so much as a child.
finally, she could see it.
trust it.
believe it.
understanding it was hers to offer herself now,
she picked it up
and began to wrap it softly around her heart.
recently, this thought came to me –
“the amount of fear you carry
and the amount of need for control
is in direct proportion to how much you
believe in yourself.”
i got really excited about this idea,
and decided i wanted to really work on my
self – belief. and i wanted to remind others
to do so as well.
that’s how this bone sigh came into being.
i would like to offer this print as a reminder to you
for your own journey to believing in yourself.
it’s free with any order over $25.
(just type in the word ‘believe’ in the additional comments box
when you order!)
let’s change our own personal worlds – and then let’s
change the whole wide world!
