I think I’ve been posting here for about a year now, and so I think it is time for a thank you letter. <3
Fire Fairy
I so love the gratitude, grace, appreciation, support, and love I experience and witness here. I love the rawness of it. I adore the honesty that is bolstered by optimism. I appreciate the healthy accountability I feel, which encourages me to support this community with my own experiences, and reminds me that posting has helped me continue down my journey.
I don’t always post everyday. Sometimes, I just don’t have the time or energy, but I almost always peek in in the morning and read the post. I then think throughout the day about the ideas, support and challenge I’ve read.
When I started posting, here I knew this was an important place, and it has been for many reasons that might be obvious – it’s uplifting, loving, fun. But there’s another reason, I’ve always had this image of myself as a poor writer. I would often feel stuck, unsure of what to write, intimidated. So I requested becoming a fairy with some trepidation, but knowing that this was what I needed. What I’ve learned is that I can sit down and write something. Which is darn good, because I’ve found myself writing quite a bit the past two months, and much of the fear is gone.
So thank you my dears! thank you for your amazing specialness. Your freakiness. Your steadfastness. Your wings. Your honesty.

tea
a sweet little girl who wakes up all bright and cheery and forever chattering
a tender boy who slips away in the morning, from the bed he shares with his brother, into mine to get some extra cuddle time
a big boy who come in and gives me a ‘yo, mom’ hug looking groggy
It’s Tuesday, which now means it is Mean Dutch Baby day – where in reality the boys eat Dutch pancakes created by a man named Mean, but in our own family humor, we joke about eating mean babies – only the mean ones, we let the cute ones go. Oh my, this joke never gets old.
soccer day!
I will post more later
Have a Beautiful Day
