Wanna-Be

I'm a wannabe and it's ok. I want to be a lot of things: I want to be a known writer. I want to be a perspective-changer. I want to be a free spirit, wild and content in my imperfections. I want to be the kind of mother who teaches her child the most important of truths. I want to be a good example, to live my beliefs, practice what I preach, be the change I wish to see…

I want to be so many things and, because of that, I wake up each day striving towards those dreams. I may never be all these things but I'll be some in some small way. And the only way I'll be able to Be is by embracing myself now as what I am, a wannabe, a strive-to-be...

A Worst and Most-Blessed Mother

The other morning, the hubs had taken the car to work at an early hour and let me sleep in. I was woken up by the J-Rex, who proceeded to quiz me on my favorite breakfast foods and promptly bring me a surprise (I had to close my eyes when she brought it in) breakfast in bed. 

She made herself something and we sat in bed for a while. I talked to her about being proud of her. She opened up about her fears and we talked about that. It was a wonderful meal and I was left a bit in awe of who this little 8 year old girl is becoming.
