big mothering with heart giveaways!

Posted on May 13, 2013 by in connecting, creating, giving, growing, living, mothering

mothering-with-heart

Tonight before bedtime I had two naked boys running around the house.

The diaperless 2-year-old was left alone for a few minutes in his room, only to be discovered moments later smearing poop into the carpet.

My bed was covered with unfolded clothes and instead of taking the time to fold them, this tired pregnant mama (of another boy!) threw them on the floor to deal with tomorrow.

The art room was left with scraps of paper and markers thrown about.

Not all evenings are like this.  But, tonight just happened to be one of them.

And that’s just part of being a mom.

Being a mom is a lot of work.  I never knew what to expect before becoming one.  Does anyone really?  But once you do discover what’s on the other side of birthing a child, you find you have a common bond with all the mothers before you – a camaraderie of sorts – a secret knowing what this job is really like.  You become part of the mama club.

When you are a member of the mama club, you don’t have to explain the rewards of being a mom.  You don’t have to explain the joys.  You don’t have to explain the challenges.  We moms are fully aware of them all.

And sometimes we get super busy.  We get caught up in “keeping up” – trying to be like others or just trying to make it through the day.  We put on that face.  You know…the one that tells the world,  Everything is just fine. But sometimes…it just isn’t.  And no matter what…we need each other.  We need to know we’re not alone.  We need to slow down. We need to rest.  We need time with friends. We need wine or dark chocolate.  We need reality TV.  We need a good book, a good laugh, a good bubble bath or a retreat away from it all.

Sometimes we need to shed our doubts.  Sometimes we need to cry.  Sometimes we need to laugh our asses off.

Sometimes we need to reconnect to our intuition, express our creativity, get messy, and live out our hidden dreams.
Sometimes we just need to mother our OWN hearts.

And that’s what Mothering with heART is about – taking time for ourselves and learning how to integrate the need for creativity, downtime, play and FUN into our daily lives while raising children.  And when we learn to nourish our own souls each day, we are nourishing our children’s souls, too.  Because that’s the cool thing about being a mom.  We’re bonded to these little people.  And they sense when we are happy.  They learn from our example.  So the more we return to our true selves and our authentic way of being in the world, we end up passing that on to our kids.  And that means more inner peace, love, joy and happiness for us all!

I’m incredibly honored and excited to share with you a group of AMAZING moms, business women, writers, artists, life coaches and much more who are sharing parts and pieces of their mothering journey with us in my newest online experience, Mothering with heART.

living from the inside out is living a life you love

Posted on April 25, 2013 by in connecting, creating, growing, living

Inside Out Logo
The outer kingdom is not our real home. The inner kingdom is our everything.

~ Marianne Williamson

This is my last attempt to get you to join us on a creative adventure that is sure to take you on a soulful, life-changing ride!  The quotes below are just a few of the recent comments I’ve received from the amazing community of women who have taken my Inside Out e-course.

“I so believe in the work Shannon does, but even more so, I’m inspired to live the life I LOVE because she helped crack open my soul…”

“I really love my new painting and would never have had the courage to paint like this before playing so much with paint and having no set expectations that I learned through Inside Out.  So, thank you, Shannon!

“Thank you for this community space and for all the help and encouragement you have given me with your course. I am a free spirit!”

“Shannon, from the beginning you have taught me to face my fears and work through them. One item on my list of  ”25 things I’ve always wanted to do” was to open an Etsy shop…today I am marking that off my list!  Thank you, beautiful lady, for shining your light to inspire us to shine ours.”

To see more of what past Inside Out graduates are saying about the course, visit: 
 Free Spirit Raves. 

Below is the welcome video I created for the new session that starts this Monday.  If you are still wondering if this is the right experience for you, watch the video and if you resonate with my words…get yourself over to the registration page and JOIN US!

To register, visit Inside Out Registration.

Reminders:  This is the last session of Inside Out I’ll be offering for 2013.  I’ve nearly cut the price in half and will not be offering the course at this discount in the future.

Your Personal Reflection:

Are you living the life you’ve always dreamed of?  Are you caught up in negativity and stress? Do you miss expressing your creative side? Do you wish you could be more creative?  Are you worried about making everything perfect and just so? Do you go to bed at night feeling exhausted and sad that you can’t get to the things you enjoy most? Do you feel like you never have enough time or energy?  Are you ready to make deep changes in your life, so you truly can create a life YOU love, each and every day?

Then…my love…NOW is the time.

finding the courage to not waste your life

Posted on April 20, 2013 by in creating, growing, living

finding courage

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

~ Kurt Cobain

*(Our hearts go out to all those affected by the Boston tragedy. Today’s article is not about that, but if you’d like to read a post about the power of faith, you can see what I wrote a few months ago here: Bless the Day and Choose Love.)

For the month of April, I’ve been conquering small projects around the house – trying to reduce the amount of clutter in my closets and drawers. And no matter how big or small the project is, I can always see a release of energy when I MAKE SPACE. Whether it’s being able to find my socks, or knowing exactly what food is left in the fridge – cleaning, clearing and organizing just makes me happy.

It doesn’t come without work.

It’s not always easy.

Sometimes it’s easier to run, hide and look the other way.

It definitely takes dedication and time.

But man, it sure feels good when you’ve made it to the other side.

And what I’ve noticed most about making space, is that the less clutter you have – in your mind, in your heart, in your home – the less WASTED time, energy and space you have, too.
When we stop, and really look at our lives, it’s easy to see just how much we waste.

We waste time watching too much TV, checking Facebook all day long and being distracted.
We waste creativity worrying about whether or not we’re good enough.
We waste energy over-committing, stressing out, doing too much and rushing about.
We waste space buying more of what we don’t need.
We get stuck in the past.
We worry about the future.
We complain about our boring jobs.
We wait for the weekends.
We spend too much.
We look the other way.
We numb to cope.
We push our needs to the bottom of the list.
We hide our true feelings.
We don’t finish what we’ve started.
We don’t start what we really want to.
We stop playing.
We stop laughing.
We stop feeling JOY.
We resist change.
We keep our dreams bottled up.
And we’re tired. Confused. Afraid.

What a WASTE.

Decluttering this month led me to signing up for a class taught at our local community center called, “How to Buy Organic on Only a $500 Monthly Budget.” I’ve been buying organic food for a long time now, and dang, it is expensive. So I was all game for ideas on how to cut my monthly grocery spending.

And what I learned that night was truly liberating.
Life-changing, really.

You see, what I was reminded of is that to live an “organic lifestyle” means way more than just eating food that hasn’t been sprayed with chemicals. It’s about truly LIVING – with SPACE, with breath, with abundance, with expansion, with nature, with truth, with creativity, with intuition and with vitality.

shannon

This has SO much relationship to reducing clutter and making space for the things that matter most. BREATH is SPACE. The more SPACE and BREATHING ROOM we have – whether it’s in our closets, our drawers, our homes, our budgets, our schedules, our minds, our hearts, or our souls…it’s all related and has a direct effect on our lives.

Living organically, clearing clutter, making space and less waste is about living in harmony with the things that support our health and well being.
It’s about educating yourself.
It’s about reading labels.
It’s about being different and being ok with that.
it’s about staying curious.
It’s about asking questions.
It’s about getting clear.
It’s about doing that thing you’ve been too scared to do.
It’s about not always believing what you’ve been told in the past.
It’s about finding your own path.
It’s about knowing you are whole and complete and wonderful just as you are.
It’s about getting quiet enough to really hear where your heart is trying to guide you.
It’s about finding the courage to follow its lead.

We need to make a commitment to stop wasting time and energy on wishing our lives were different, and instead, actually do the things that will help us CREATE a better life.

Just as you can’t force a flower to bloom before its time, you can’t change your life overnight. But you CAN tend to your hopes and dreams, you CAN take better care of yourself, and you CAN continue growing each and every day.

Your Personal Reflection:

I’m choosing to reduce WASTE in my life so that I can have more time, space and energy to live life how I want to live. How about you?

Happy weekend to you!
Be well…

the gifts inside you

Posted on April 9, 2013 by in creating, growing, living

baby 3

What gifts in you are ready to be born?

 

My husband took this photo of me a few weeks ago when we were playing around in the spring snow.  He’s trying to capture photos of my growing belly.  That’s right, baby #3 is on the way, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!  I’ve definitely been tired and had a case of the first trimester blahs, but I’m happy to say my energy is coming back and my tummy has settled.  I do get tired in the afternoons, but of course that’s to be expected after running around chasing 2 little boys all day long.

In fact, I’m writing this during my naptime, so I’ll have to keep this short and sweet.  You see, I have to take that time seriously these days.  Taking care of myself, especially while growing a little human, is my priority.  So I’m moving a little slower.  Accepting that I can’t do it all.  Trying to be ok with letting go of creative ideas and projects I just can’t get to right now.

And this is where I am.  In a place that needs a little more sleep.  In a place that is bringing a new life into the world.  In a place of celebration and sacred beauty.  What a gift.

I know there are gifts in you waiting to be born.
And I know it’s important that YOU take care of yourself, too.

Since our new babe is due in early October, this is the main reason I will only be offering Inside Out: A Creative Adventure of Self-Discovery e-course one more time this year.  AND, I’ve cut the price nearly in half because I want everyone to get the opportunity to participate this time around.  This 5-week art-writing-connecting-going-deeper-nourishing-your-dreams-letting-your-true-gifts-shine creative, online experience is now (for one time only) just $10 a week!  I am SO excited to share this experience with you.  Whether this is your first time joining us, or you’ve taken the course several times, I know your soul will be creatively inspired.  (No art or writing experience needed.  This class is designed for those who haven’t picked up crayons since 1st grade, as well as professional artists!)

DREAM big.
CREATE your life.
BEcome your true self.
Your Personal Reflection:

Have you been listening to those quiet whispers?  That reoccuring voice?  The gentle nudge inside you that’s trying to guide you towards the unknown, sometimes scary places, that will help you grow and expand and AWAKEN to the life you are really meant to live?  NOW is the time to cultivate the new beginnings in you that are ready to be born.  Because when you do, your true gifts will emerge with the courage needed to come out into the world.  And we need YOUR gifts in the world!  Join our supportive, compassionate community of life-explorers and share this Inside Out journey with souls who already love and get you.

Class starts in a few short weeks!

Ok…now I’m going to wrap myself up in a quilt before the 2-year-old wakes and the 5-year-old declares his rest time is over!

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual.  There is no other teacher but your own soul.

~ Swami Vivekananda

make space for your dreams (& 2 give-aways!)

Posted on March 27, 2013 by in connecting, creating, growing, living

Peaceful_Bookshelf_550px

I’m choosing happiness over suffering, I know I am.  I’m making space for the unknown future to fill up my life with yet-to-come surprises.

~ Elizabeth Gilbert

In my last post I talked about my craving for spring.  And as the temperatures slowly warm up and the snow starts to melt, I’m catching the spring cleaning bug.  Well…I don’t even think it has much to do with cleaning, but rather a deep desire to CLEAR CLUTTER!

For the month of April, my Inside Out graduates and I are supporting each other through a Reduce Clutter; Create Space challenge.  For the entire month, we’ll be focusing on clearing those pesky areas that have been stuffed with “stuff.”  You know…the sock drawer, the freezer, the hallway closet.  We’ll start with small stuff like the junk drawer, and maybe lead to bigger stuff like the office or basement.  I’ve been working regularly to organized and declutter my living space, so I’m actually feeling a desire to focus more on my digital clutter – organizing, printing, and backing-up my thousands of family photos.  And there are definitely some closets and other piles needing my attention, too.

ftn_web_header_3

I find that when I put love and attention into my living environment, I get a burst of energy, and new ideas, inspiration and motivation are released.  That’s why I’m so happy to share with you this new e-course from creators, Leah Cherry and Stephanie Perkinson, called Feathering the Nest.

Ask yourself these questions:  Do you ever wonder if the home environment that surrounds you is supporting the life that you are dreaming of?  Take a minute and look around the room.  What do you see?  Are there more than a few corners that need some loving?

Feather_Toes_550px

This new 2-week e-course, Feathering the Nest, is a lovely journey created to guide you into making your home a beautiful space that mirrors the love and dreams you hold in your soul. Stephanie & Leah will help you connect with your deepest desires and favorite things.  Then, they’ll show you creative and simple ways to have those desires reflected back at you, as you make your house into a nurturing soul-space.

Doesn’t that sound so wonderful and refreshing?  Ahh…a breath of fresh spring air brought right into your living space.

knowing what I can and can’t change

Posted on March 25, 2013 by in being, living, mothering

winter fun

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.

~ Steve Maraboli

Many of us are craving spring.

I know I am.

It’s hard not to.

After weeks of snow, snow and MORE snow…I’m craving the new season.  I want to open the windows.  I want to smell the fresh air.  I want to feel the warm sunshine on my skin.

But the cravings I have aren’t fitting in well with the 6 more inches of snow we just got.  Or with the fact that the boys have been sick the last few days.  So any plans I had were pretty much replaced with wipes, diaper cream, no chicken noodle soup and laundry.

This past weekend reminds me that there are things out of my control. And although I can’t control everything, I can learn how to stop craving something beyond my control.

It seems like the more I crave something, the less OK I am with the present moment.  Because I’m wanting what IS to be different.  I want winter to go away, dang it!!!  But I can resist and fight it, or simply get over the fact that I can’t change the weather.

Our routine has been thrown out the window.  Any hopes of outdoor picnics and zoo visits are shot.  And the things I really want to do – like work on my e-course, write, paint, go to yoga, play in the warm sunshine – has been put on hold.

playin in spring snow

So in the midst of caring for sick kids, I knew that I had to get out, even if just for a few minutes. While the boys were napping yesterday, my husband and I ran out into the snow to take pictures.

We jumped.  We ran.  We laughed.

And I felt so alive and so free.  This was the recharge I needed to carry me through the rest of the sick, snow day.

The snow has dropped.  My babes are sick.  I can’t change the weather.  I can’t keep the boys from ever catching a stomach bug.  But, I know spring will come – in its own time, in its own way.

And while I learn how to wait patiently,  I can stop resisting.  I can stop craving something that is out of my control.  I can stop putting my energy in the wrong places.  I can remember that I do have the power to change many things in my life.  And when I remember that…I am free.

Your Personal Reflection:

What is holding you back?  Are you trying to control something that is uncontrollable?  Can you let go of the things that are out of your control, and take charge of the things you can change? Start making those changes TODAY, and soon, you will see the true gifts that the much-anticipated new season will bring.

learn something new

Posted on March 15, 2013 by in connecting, growing, living
