And here we are… landing The Mothership Volume 2 with our final track for The Village.

Track 9 is a montage of “Words to Live By.”

It was always our intention to create an audio-first experience for present and future mothers. Even if that meant we made it slow, intentionally, and one track at a time.

Along the release of this sophomore audio album, we received many private messages from you.

One of the themes from those messages that stands out to me is the concept of how energizing it is for others when we each embody our personal destiny with a holy endurance — for others to see.

This is the idea that “keeping up” is a practice that you do which gives hope to others when they see it in action.

This is the idea that most of the effect your work has in the world after it leaves you, you won’t see directly, or at all. But it will have an effect, nonetheless.

This is the idea that your single pointed projection creates a legacy of sound that holds an infinite number of potential possibilities for others to create from.

This is the idea that the Giver always receives the most.

It’s been such an honor to share this commitment with you. We hope you’ve enjoyed Volume 2.
