I am a 47 year old, former teacher/tutor and mother of 4.  I am usually defined by my mother-ness.  This definition does not bother me. I have wanted to be a mother since I was a little girl.  Yet now that it defines me, I am constantly searching for other things to feed my soul.  So I have decided to do a little writing, plus I work at Anthropologie, and study as much as I can about meditation, ayurveda, and anything spiritual.  I am hoping that writing about being a mom, and other shiny topics that catch my eye, can keep me motivated to be a good person to my children, my friends, and my family.
