Today, I wanted to offer a lifeline to all the mothers who are gearing up for the holiday season, knowing how easily it can become a time of stress and overwhelm. We will explore how Slow Living or Minimalism as a mindset can be applied to our calendars and commitments. With mindfulness and intention, we can create space for calm; with proper boundaries, we can say "Yes" to what we truly value, and "No" to excess.

If you are interested in more information on Minimalism, Slow Living and more, I recommend content created by an eclectic group of writers on No Sidebar… a holiday related article is linked below:

Today, I am sharing an ancient classic, "Maybe", adapted into a lovely picture book by Bushel & Peck Books; this adaptation of the Taoist parable is very accessible to kids and adults alike.

"This delightful tale teaches that what seems bad might be good; what seems good might be bad; and in the end, all can be embraced without judgement as essential, helpful experiences in our personal journeys of growth."

Today, I will be continuing on the thread of "failure" and trying... I will share with you a beautiful story called "Trying", written by Kobi Yamada and illustrated by Elise Hurst; a lovely example of progress and growth mindset.

"The truth is, we are all failures. The dreamers, the doers, the creators... Being a failure means you loved something. You cared. It means you stepped forward, you didn't hold back, you tried."
