Summer Story 2016. Quotable Inspiration. Free Printable Download. Day Three.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you. 

Ohhh this quote speaks to my heart for focusing on the Good Things when I’m feeling weary or blue or otherwise just full of life’s other noise. The sunshine, both literally and figuratively, is such a warming balm for the soul. The shadows fall behind us when we keep our face to the sun. Always.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

Life is messy sometimes, no? We are buffeted by storms and trials some days, some weeks, some months, some years. Sometimes we feel weary in the wind and rain. I love this quote because it reminds me that even the darkest and stormiest seasons work to make me stronger. My roots grow deeper in what strengthens and emboldens and uplifts me. For me my roots are planted in faith and hope, in beautiful things, in kindness, and in relationships with those who love me right where I stand.

Beginning this Summer Story adventure with words rooted in fertile ground. Good fruit grows here: Love.  A fabulous reminder from Vincent Van Gogh:

What is done in love is done well.

When we begin with love, good things can follow. When we plant in love, good things can grow. When we DO with love, we do the next right thing. And that’s all that any of us can do. Come from a place of yes, lean in as they say…do it in love.

Motherhood :: Free Download

By

I have been thinking a lot about motherhood. I think for most of us when we think “motherhood” we think “love”.

A special kind of beautiful power lives in the love that grows people.

When we mother what we are really doing is watering our people with love. So that kindness may grow there. And humanity. And caring. And strength. What we are really doing is uplifting and empowering. Sometimes what we are really doing is just holding hands and sitting with one another in the dark times.

And while on this day of mothers we celebrate it in the most familiar sense..we think of our mothers and our children in all the beautiful ways those relationships shine brightly. Or we think of those who have longed for or lost or fallen away from motherhood.

I say yes to that. All the yes. And I also say here’s to all those who mother one another. Here’s to those moments when we step in to mother our friends and loved ones, to mother our mothers, or to mother strangers who have never known what that love feels like. Here’s to the moments we must mother ourselves. Here’s to all the moments and all the seasons in our lives when we give the kind of love that grows people. The kind of love that leaves an imprint on us.

Motherhood. All love begins and ends there.
