Congratulations on post 100! You’ve clearly done your job of mothering well if the 22 YO doesn’t know why you’d *need* to justify creative time. One thing I’ve reminded myself over the years is that I want my daughters to have the freedom to be their full selves. The best way I can help them get there is by modeling that freedom… which has meant some writing along the way.
Aimee, I've not been online much lately but I'm so glad to have stumbled upon this series of posts between you and Tresta. These resonate with me...in different ways, my kids are still young (we started late so I'm an older mother), and I was a homeschool mom and no longer am...I have a lot of mother guilt in many areas...I need to continue on to the next post and see where it lands. I teared up reading this post. Your book is beautiful. xo

I'm so glad that we've been on the motherhood plus writing journey together for all these years!
And we can both celebrate 100 newsletters. In fact, you inspired me to start this newsletter. 🥳
And yes to modeling whole person living to our kids.❤️
