(this is a short writing exercise someone sent me quite awhile ago..basically take 15 minutes and just write down what you believe, being honest and immediate. Here's what I came up with, and it's pretty valid, still. Still.)
I Believe:
- that while my past is always with me, I am not beholden to it
- in living a life with purpose and deliberateness
- that money is not the goal, but it does make life easier
- motherhood is not the end all, be all. Love it, embrace it, but don't drown in it
- sorrow is therapeutic
- happiness is earned
- my words have value-spoken or written
- in action- I am responsible for changing what I want to change
- in awareness of others and their intents, goals and desires. Being conscious of how you walk in the world makes the world a better place for everyone
- in seeking out the unique, the different
- the objects in your home should tell a story-your story, your family's story- not Target or Ikea's story
- in doing what you can, with what you have, where you are
- success is individually defined. There is no universal definition
- food and drink are some of the most joyful things in this life and I do my best to respect them
- that 'right' and 'wrong' are not black and white
- in the power of a story. Your story, my story, everyone's story
