To The Mom With Long Hair

To the mom with the long hair, leave it long. If length is your style don't change. If the kids think that you have a built in rope swing let them. They'll only pull on it for awhile. It will pass. Do not let go of the beauty that you desire. Being a mom doesn't mean that you can not BE YOU TIFUL. It means that you express yourself through your children. Alot of the times moms lose their identity to the demanding life of caring for their babies. Having kids and becoming mothers does not mean that you have to lose who you are. It means that you embrace the aspects that you love about yourself. Maybe your a class clown and funny as hell. Embrace it, strengthen it and leave the impression on your kids. Do not change who you are to fit the uptight mom stigma.

I've been asked continually, why with three kids, do I have my hair long? Why do I desire to grow it to my butt. I'll tell you, because my kids are not me. Yes, I've adopted the awesome roll of being Mama to three amazingly different boys but I don't have to give up who I am for them. We all know that life is an unexpected hassle but just because you have a babe or babes does NOT LIMIT you to a life secluded and standard. You can be the mom that stands out. The mom that isn't afraid to act her age. Sure having kids is a great way to mature but you do not have to claim that maturity 24/7. The is a line between strict and relaxed.

The stigma that runs along side being a mom is a downgrade to the word mom, The definition of mom is "One's mother" "Give birth to" or "One that cares for a child" Really? As moms are we really secluded to "Given birth to" How about "The fiercely strong woman who would give her life for the kids that she nurtured from womb to life" I'm sorry but we need more praise than that. I believe that the mom stigma ties in with the female notion that we are weak? One question for all, How are we weak when we are given so much strength to bring life into this world, to give up the lives that we knew to be a helpless babies world, because they could not survive without us, being a mom is rewarding, gruesome and underappreciated.

So I say again, to the MOM with long hair, don't change because the wotld wants you to. Don't cut your long hair to please others. Sure the pulling hurts, but not being you, for your babies breaks you down. Don't do it. Stay strong and let you. Be YOU.

Thanks, Maddie

The Things We May Never Know. Curiosity.

I know curiosity has killed the cat over and over. Maybe, even longer than 9 times. But, our curiosity seems to never fade. As humans we always find things to oogle over. The things that make us question what is acceptable. Its actually quite funny. The big picture, I mean. How we stop and stare and ponder over the things we may never fully know about. There's a lot isn't there? We may stop and question things we desire the answers too. What about the questions that do not have answers the ones that leave open ended responses to be filled with the imaginative curiosity. Those my friends are the ones to ponder over. We typically assume that every question has an answer, but do they? Do they have to? and (Every so popularly) Why? Like you, I'm not sure of that. Not all questions have answers just like not all actions come with reason. Some times the things we don't understand happen out of circumstance with no reason or meaning. They just do. I know that ...

Brush the Dust off

Brush The Dust Off November 11, 2018 | M. Jackson Brush the dust off darling, the pain won't last long. Brush the dust off honey and smile, your beauty will mask the pain. Brush the dust off love, Pain is just a temporary burden, your strength is long lasting. Brush the dust off and stand up,and love yourself. Brush the dust off and walk along the path that was meant for you. Things may seem hard now but its only temporary, like the dust on your clothes, the darkness can be wiped away. You can start again and you can find the light. Too many times the fight is harder than you think and giving up seems easy but fighting gives life, changes and shapes you into a hardened creature with the world on her back. Its easier to give up but giving them a reason to stare is all worth while. We are meant to shine, not to be stifled by "I cannot" or " you cannot" when in reality you can and you will. You are meant...

Why Do I Care So Much?

Why do I care so much, why do I give a damn? All I seem to do is try and try to be there and to give my undivided self to everybody. I think I love so intensely that even the slightest inconvenience to someone that I care about is debilitating and tears me to pieces. Naturally, I do not want to see anyone hurt, sad. If I can't help, Im helpless. Hopeless and feeling like a waste of space. Why do I care so much? Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is a cruel injustice that's been given. Then I have to stop and think. If not me, then who? If I wasn't there to care about someone, would someone else. I may not be the best person to ask for advice or the greatest friend who never screws up, but I have love, an open heart and the open mindedness of someone who has never known pain. Even though, I've been through trials, heart break and gut wrenching tears. Every chance shouldn't be the last, every love deserves attention. So Why do I care so much? Why does plain Jane, lil old me...
