Synopsis

I’m on a quest. I long to be a peaceful, loving mama, filled with patience and humor and quick to expel all things that make my soul feel sticky and gross. I want to be a peacemaker in the world. I want to be a peacemaker in my world.  Is it possible? Am I simply a hopeful, idealistic sap who thinks we can all live happily together in the chaos of daily life, when the outside world is indifferent and often cruel? Can our home be a safe haven always? And can I accomplish this by loving the heck out of my mayhem and being constantly thankful for my three little women and the chaos they bring? Yes. I think so. If it doesn’t work, we can’t possibly be worse off for trying. My quest may continue indefinitely. This little book contains my notes from the path. It isn’t at all serious. It won’t make you feel like a failure as a parent, and it is not a book of instructions. It’s lighthearted encouragement to keep on giving your best, to laugh at your mistakes and to forgive yourself and your kids along the way. Maybe we can love this life together, not with perfection achieved, but in a real live messy human way, with ups and downs, falling and failing, and getting up and taking flight.
