Dear San Francisco Mama Bloggers

Dear San Francisco Mama Bloggers,

I have been searching for you but am finding you are harder to find that I thought it would be.

I would love to connect with you and hear your stories, the good and the bad. I want to know what you have learned, what you have questions about, what you want to know more about, and what your fears and worries are. What are your dreams? Why aren’t you doing them? Can we support each other to reach for them?

I envision a community of mamas (or anyone who is interested in what a mama’s life is about) be it virtually, physically or both.

If you heard my call, tell me, what is on your mind? And, are you free this weekend? Let’s meet at the park and say hi. If you cannot make it out, then, leave a little note in the comments section, or email me privately. I love notes. I love to leave them. I am so delighted when I receive them.

I look forward to making a connection with you. And, if you are up for it, through that connection, I will connect you to those who also want to connect.

Yours,

Christine

San Francisco Bay Area Mama

Will and Me

Will and I had such a lovely morning. We woke, we fed, we bonded, we slept some more. (Now, I did not catch up on my sleep, I just got some. I needed that.)

I feel like the last two days Will and I have been really hitting it off. We are starting to feel comfortable with each other. At least that is what if feels like right now. I think we are both getting more mellow in a way.

One change I noticed in me that has something to do with my part of it is that I have been working on holding space for what Will and I need right now and not so much what other people want for us. I have also gone somewhat inside. Almost like a retreat. I need to honor myself, who I am, and who the mother I want to be is. Its naturally all there already inside. I am just doing a little bit of a better job at nurturing it. I need to. This is how I will unfold and become who I already am. If I am not myself I am nobody. How can a nobody be a good mom, a good partner, a good friend? So, while going inside and focusing more on me (and Will as an extension of me right now) may seem selfish I actually think its selfless.

Well, its 4:40am and I am in my own little world but I suppose that is true no matter what time of day it is especially now that I am in a postpartum period. In blogging and in life I feel both my creativity and my self censorship are not at their fullest or best.

Take care, be well.
