"I feel love and devotion and pride for all of my “children”." Thank you! Yes, yes and yes. Beautiful writing Maureen. From another mother of many somethings in her own life.
Mmmmm yes. I’ve been thinking about this—how the original original intention of Mother’s Day was to celebrate women, but now it’s become something that excludes a lot of women and a lot of relationships. Thank you for this, Maureen.
So true that worthy ventures are difficult to see through to maturity--in the business sense. I didn't realize the failure percentage was so high. Love the inclusivity here--growing your own food, starring in or writing a Broadway play, starting a business. All very thoughtful. On another note, I lived in Mendocino Co. (Willits) long ago and made the trek infrequently to Mendocino (that hellish road)! It was a fun time in my life and w/ your hotel, I'm sure you really enjoyed being there, too.
It would always sound like a good idea to head over to Mendocino for the day. Then about 1/2 way from Willits where the trees are Really thick and it's so dark, we'd always say, What are we doing? But then we'd get to Mendo and all was fine. What was the name of your hotel?

Thank you Kelsey 💕
I absolutely love your heart! This is beautiful.
Very sneaky of you to make me misty eyed this week instead of making me laugh.
Gotta keep you on your toes 😉

I miss that part of the world and that time in my life often 🫶🏻 and yes OMG I know the road to Willits (and Ukiah) well!

The Inn at Schoolhouse Creek - just a little south in Little River
Love Little River, and Albion.
Yes my house was in Albion just by the Ledford House
I agree. I do agree. Thank you for showing me a new and broad perspective of motherhood.
I hope it touches women who might feel left out from the love
The benefit of not sassing me. Yes, I also believe that all of us mother, something any labor of love is a mothering.
Thank you for this I look forward to reading more. I’m new here and I learned about you through Stephanie @elder
Dam I’m having a moment, and cannot remember the name of her publication. But I’m thankful.
Welcome! I’m so glad you found me and that you’re here 🫶🏻
