Loved reading this darling ! Especially the end part when you spoke of where you wrote- balmy Broome time 🧡

I can very much relate to creating the foundations ... feels so good to be completing and tying loose ends ! And setting us up this way before I call in my husband . Next month is for finishing off this home project , getting power and bathroom sorted and remembering how to flirt again 👏

Our homeschool flow is so so beautiful in our new space 🥰

Love you guys x

Thanks for being here, and connecting through the ether with me!! What a beautiful foundation you have laid for your life and family moving forward darling... you are so worthy, so incredible and so deserving of everything that comes next; everything that is built and grows upon your bedrock with such strength and stability.

Haha, I too am learning how to flirt again... (but within my marriage). Leaning into our inner playfulness, worthiness and passion for life and love. Remembering how to live in the lightness again.

Love you guys too... can't wait to get back in the rhythm with you when we're home and come out and spend time at your new home xx

Oh YES. I started reading this and couldn't "put it down". I can feel myself so much in these things about "marriage" - but for me it's my relationship with my boyfriend. As we're soon having a baby I can feel the "roles" shifting into more traditional ones and accepting that - even if society tells me I "shouldn't" because I'm a strong independent woman!!

Your writing inspired me to lean into these roles more, the structure that is "God's way", because that is just what is right (and it feels right too!) Prioritising my foundation and letting everything else fall away because it just isn't as important.

One of my biggest regrets in how I handled the birth of my second baby. With my first baby, I completely leaned into the first layer un-peeling of maiden to mother. I was immersed. But come the second baby, I thought "I was ready" to step back into the 'world' of my pre-children, pre-marriage, independent achieving self. My old identity (my old ego). My old desire for fulfilment and purpose, in the external world, in the outputs of life. If there was one thing I could go back in time and change, it would be to give my new mother self (the second baby round) the wisdom I have now... and it would essentially be ^^ this article I just wrote. I pray you will head God's calling, design and plan for you for this next season of your life -- your death (your maiden self) and your rebirth (your mother / wife self). What a gift you will receive to truly know how it is to LIVE !! And to gift God's love in this way, through you, to your family.

As hard as it is to unwind, unlearn and block out all that the "world" throws at us... it yields peace, and it's worth it xx

I’ve missed your writing. So beautiful and so much truth woven through - transitioning out of a hyper independent self-sufficient state over here and there is so much desire pulsing through my body when reading this x
