Mama said Mama sad.
"Men are fathers" but "mamas are people too". Being daddy is one part of the man but, it seems to be the expectation of the day (that I fall prey to daily), being a mom means trying to regroup and get that me-part of the self stuck back on the spit-up on, baby food smeared and chalk and crayon marked personhood of who you were becoming pre-baby(ies) or who you wish to evolve to become now that mommy has somehow overshadowed your own individual identity.
Finding your soul mate and creating a family is a primary urge that many of us not only strive for but are consumed by -- including myself -- and I think that is a most wonderful thing. Really, finding love and creating and sharing love with your family...nothing is better. Love is what we humans are truly all about. It should always be the priority in one's life.
But when that love within your self wishes to reach beyond the limits of your family and into your neighborhood, community, city, state, nation and to other lands of faraway brothers and sisters...there needs to be a way to support those love interests too.
How can mothers be leaders both inside and outside the home?
