The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.
She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never.
A mother is something absolutely new.” ― Osho Rajneesh
circa 2006
Today I am feeling a million happy, nervous bubbles for some dear friends who are in the process of welcoming their first daughter earth-side (any day now!). They were amongst the very first people to help us meet each of our daughters. I am entirely too many miles away today, but we have a candle glowing to remind our family to keep you in our thoughts.

Today also marks one month of Quotable Sundays. Many thanks to those who have joined us. Kerry will be hosting for December, but for this last Sunday in November, please leave your comment here so we know where to visit.
Join us for Quotable Sunday. In a tradition started by Kyrie of Are So Happy and carried on with Kerry of Young Ones and Linnea of PeppermintAlley, we invite you to post a quote on your site. Quotations can be old favorites or new inspiration…funny or sentimental…famous or personal…just give credit (where credit is due) and have fun. Thank you for joining our Sunday rhythm.
How do you join us?
After you have made a post, link it via comments to this post. Be sure to link back to this post so your friends can also contribute. You can also join our flickr group and add your weekly contribution there. Linnea will host for November, Kerry will host in December, and Kyrie will host in January. (Don’t worry, we’ll link it all up so you know where to go and add your contribution!)

Quotable Sunday: friendship
So many things I could say tonight. I could-
1. Give a wrap-up about ArtPrize, which ended today
2. Tell you about my beautiful weekend
3. Reminisce this picture of my then 3, now 4 year old who currently does not like dresses or pink but still likes that backpack and dogs
4. Remind myself why I don’t want a dog. ever.
5. Share the recipe from my first attempt at sweet-potato, quinoa burgers
6. Tell you again about this lovely weekend
7. Apologize for infrequent updates (I am sorry and I have been called out on this)
But instead, I will just say this:
Somehow my friends seem to know when I need them. And sometimes they show up at my door…even when my door is many states (or even an ocean) away. Thank you, friends, for being a sheltering tree, from both near and far, it is strength that I needed.
Quoteable Sunday: around every corner
A quick hello on this cool rainy weekend. What are we doing? Trying to mend allergies and colds…trying to get outside…and trying to finish the ArtPrize entry. By tomorrow at this time tomorrow, Ryan will have his work installed. It looks so great propped in our house but getting it there and up and letting go– it’s all a process. So rather than a new quote, here is one that we put together with our own words for ArtPeers. I’m thinking it should soom be made into a card. What do you think?
