Getting Started

I have been at home with my children, Henry and now Eliana for nearly three years. Becoming a mother has so completely transformed me -- from the way I look to the way I eat to the way I think, or don't, about the world, others and my place in it. Motherhood remains all at once exhilarating and devastating. After all, it is love--as messy as the poo-painted crib and as beautiful as chasing the dog in spring grass.

I came across this quote by one of my favorites, Pablo Neruda. To getting started:

"Someday, somewhere--anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life."
