an accidental detour…
Bear’s second birthday is in five days. How is that even possible? I’m working on a letter to him (my practice of writing monthly letters slowed to a crawl/stop in the last few months; the last one is at sixteen months here) that I’ll post soon. Without having finished it, I can say this: motherhood has been the biggest, most fundamental shift that I’ve ever experienced. It hasn’t always been easy, but I am so, so grateful for it. It is, quite simply, the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And after a lot of self-doubt at the beginning, I think I’m finally able to accept that I’m not half bad at it!
In other news, I’m doing something cool in a few weeks. More on that soon too. Without being too mysterious, the photo above (a shot I snapped in 2007) is a preview. Can anyone guess what it is?
