The creating of a child, a life. Strange topic don’t you think for this blog? But, really, it started with news of a teen I knew as a child becoming a parent and then reminded me of what I recently read about our creative self being childlike…and treating it with kid gloves.
They both need nurturing and patience and love and more patience and for ourselves – forgiveness.
Forgiving and accepting we’re not perfect AND when we are. Yes, forgiving and accepting that we are pretty damn good at what we do.
