As a mother of three young girls, I so relate to your thoughts, Hannah. I too am trying to go gently into the big expectations of a new year and juggle the demands of my family alongside the aspirations of my soul. I wrote your list of questions in my journal, which feel like a perfect guide to measuring success in life at the moment: "Is there peace? is there joy? Is there hope? Is there a connection? Is there gratitude? Is there creativity? Can I breathe? Do others in my life have space to breathe they are around or with me?" -- thank you <3
Hi Sarah, thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience ❤️ I love what you said about juggling family “alongside” the aspirations of your soul, I’ve often called it the intersection between being a parent and having ambition or really just the tension of trying to wholeheartedly “mother” and nurture and wholeheartedly create. It’s easy to feel that you are alone in this and such a relief to find out that it’s not just you. These are questions I’m asking myself going into this year and I’m so grateful that they could be helpful for you as well ❤️
I recently heard Emily P. Freeman (I think it was her) say that the month of January is the new week between Christmas and new year. I loved this so much and have also been really taking my time to daydream and pray about the coming year.
