"What do you do?"

As a current stay-at-home Mom, I often feel that my life is far more interesting to me than it is to others. Despite how frequently entertaining and thought provoking, I still find it difficult to share the ins and outs of my day. Part of embracing simplicity for me is to engage in sharing what's powerful about the life I've chosen. I'll do that here.

Adele told me today that I'm "still giving birth to her" and when I tried to explain that I'm not, she insisted that I still "give her life." I thought about that a minute and realized that what I do my best at on a daily basis - embrace her uniqueness, protect her from harm and introduce her to new sources of energy - is, in fact, *still* giving her life. What a great station to have!
