 Has Anyone Told  You How Awesome  You Are?

Did Anyone Tell You How Awesome You Are Today?

Deciding to make your life public in any sort of way, in part and parcel or all together is a challenging one.  I didn’t choose to make my life public at the beginning , but I have I chosen to embrace it and use the global platform to affect change.  For myself, for children, for moms, for women, for dad, parents and anyone whom I am able to touch.  It gives me a way to turn all the negative into positive and celebrate the very best decision I’ve ever made…becoming a mother and a socially conscious global citizen.  #SpiritualGangster if you will.

However, as I think about my journey and my subsequent choice to heal through self expression, it leads me to think of others who have not made that choice.  People that are critiqued, criticized, heralded as a heroes, or ripped to shreds for one reason or another via the internet and other forms of media.

Let me be very clear here.  I love the internet and all other forms of media.  I frequently weigh in as a marketing or pop culture expert for television shows, many of the hippest entertainment forums, and I write for 3 magazines and several blogs.  I have a dynamic group of family, friends, and colleagues that I respect and love. I volunteer more than I work.  Nixon is healthy and happy and so freakin awesome … on my worst day, I still know I’ve done one thing right!  None of this means I don’t need to hear how awesome I am once in a while.  I have weathered every imaginable comment, news story, gossip blog, and just plain made up ballyhoo, but it’s the “I’m proud of you,” the  “I love you,” the “keep fighting,” the “we are standing with you” that brings tears to my eyes.  Not the nasty ridiculous stuff, its low brow and let’s face it, hurt people … hurt people.  But the heart felt understanding of what I am trying to do, that I want a better world for all of us and our children, that I WILL NEVER STAND DOWN, not for my rights, my child’s right nor YOUR RIGHTS either is what keeps me unafraid and able to face any battle.

Thank you.  Let me be the first person to say I LOVE YOU and YOU ARE AWESOME! Today and everyday.  I am here to remind you of this, and I will be every day.  You are doing the best you can and though you may think no one notices, I believe we live among “Terrorists of Fun” that just refuse to acknowledge how freakin awesome we are.  I think they are sad people.  I think perhaps they may even be a skosh disappointed with their own choices and have made some awkward decision that hurting someone else will make them feel better, and if they say it out LOUD, or behind some stupid screen name not realizing that an IP address can be traced, that they will convince you it’s true.  IT IS NOT TRUE, AND IT HOLDS NO MERIT.  YOU ROCK!

Look, as women, we are born and bred to feel guilty.  The moment the sperm meets the egg and we become pregnant, the “mother guilt” kicks in.  There is really no way out of it except to give our children, or niece, nephew or pet the “evil eye” to relieve some of our guilt, when they are only doing what they were born to do, like picking his or her nose or chewing one of our favorite handbags.

Today, some venomous barbs were thrown my way, worse, they were thrown at Nixon, by some ridiculous shrew on twitter.  Before I could even digest the heinous remarks, many of you jumped to our defense and I heard from @thebabyspotca just giving me a shout out.  It brought tears to my eyes to know someone hears me and someone understands.  The picture is not about me, it is about what we can do together, social consciousness.  How can we make this world a better place for our children, our loved ones and our future?  Well, it starts by changing the negatives to positive and taking time to ask as many people as you can “Did anyone tell you how awesome you are today?”.  Then follow it up with giving them a heartfelt compliment, smile, or even help with something they need.  If a hurtful barb comes your way, understand that the person spewing venom needs our compassion and it can only be rebuffed with calm and loving understanding that their poison does NOT belong to you.  Just email mccmom@motivatingothermothers.com and I’ll back you up!

Friends, you helped pick me up today … YOU ARE AWESOME.  @THEBABYSPOTCA YOU ARE AWESOME.  You touched my heart right as I needed it. Thank you.

Now THAT is #MOM #MotivatingOtherMothers.  Love and honor to all of you. #SpiritualGangster #WarriorMoms

Thank you!

 You are  Perfect  Where  You Are!

No Need to Look Back, You Are Perfect Where You Are!

Picture
It’s so tempting.  To look back I mean.  Celebrating our various victories, and replaying different parts of our lives and weighing out different outcomes.  Even licking our wounds.  I can tell you, taking inventory is important.  Paying attention to the peaks and valleys is an even more important task.  In your most inner heart, you will know which turn took you to which destination.

There are no right or wrongs.  There are no bad decisions.  This is about YOU and what your perspective is.  I can assure you that you are perfect where you are.  I know, perhaps it feels uncomfortable.  

Perhaps you feel lost, perhaps your hope is running low.  THIS is the time magic happens.  Your magic.  This is the exact moment you can change your point of view, change your perspective and see all that there is to be grateful for and how much love you have to give.  I know it saves me every time.

Along my journey, I felt I had lost so much.  Friends, family, work, privacy and eventually myself.  My mom passed away shortly after Nixon was born and I didn’t have time to breathe, much less mourn the loss of my heroine…my mum.  Everything was whizzing by so quickly and those that I thought would stand with me did not, and those that I never expected to be there were. I knew exactly who was whom and what was what.  I kept replaying everything in my head…what did I do wrong, what could I have done differently, what do people think of me, what if I lose my career, and the list goes on and on.  On the other side of the swinging pendulum, my heart was at peace.  For I was moving on automatic, spiritually, emotionally and physically.  I realized I had no choice to believe and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

One particular night, when Nixon was six months old,  he had his first “high” fever.  I believe it was about 101 degrees, just low enough to NOT take him to the hospital, but just high enough to scare the shit out of me.  I gave my infant the ice bath, and the stupid infant medicine.  I got the humidifier and the ice.  I held him and sang softly.  I paced lovingly back and forth rocking him and telling him everything was going to be all-right. My mother had just passed, so there was no motherly advice I could get to soothe my aching heart and I’d been flanked by press so I was behind a gated compound in Encino.  Alone.  When Nixon finally fell asleep, I closed his bedroom door, and crumpled to the floor in inconsolable tears.  I had found a love that was greater than my heart could hold.  One that affected me more than anything in the world could ever or would ever could.  It was pure love.  I didn’t move nor sleep ’til day break and by then his fever was down.  I felt as though I had survived some unspeakable war…and won.

In that devastating moment of feeling the weight of so much loss, so much betrayal, so much isolation and so much fear, I KNEW that I was exactly where I was supposed to be.  I knew all that I’d considered as losses, were truly blessing cloaked in the disguise of MY OWN fears.  I was standing in my own way, by looking back and wondering WHY.  Looking back at people I had loved and lost but alas, they were not relationships of reciprocity.  The Universe… God, had stripped everything from me, and that was just the beginning.  I would lose just about everything else in my life before the rebuild would begin.  Reciprocity became a very important ingredient of success, love and life.  Choose wisely.  Only look back through your rearview mirror…for safety reasons. Not for any other reasons.

Somehow, I knew that I had to stand firmly planted in the moment, and just make it day by day.  Each day growing stronger, each day wiping the tears to clear the way for a smile.  Each day seeing Nixon growing and thriving … the obvious choice for me was gratitude.  No matter how hard each moment was, I knew I was exactly where I should be, receiving the lessons and the wisdom that would carry me through the next day.

Today, let me be the first person to tell you how loved you are.  Let me be the first person to bring you comfort.  You are perfect right where you are.  Tomorrow is yet to come, but it will be more excellent than today.  Be present.  Be in the moment.  Be the personification of love.  Give more.  Love more.  Help more.  Take inventory and be grateful for the journey you’ve walked and those who have walked with you.  You are who you are BECAUSE of…not IN SPITE of.  That my friend is to be celebrated not rued.  I believe in you.  I am so happy to share this sliver of my life, with you, new friends and old, because you count as do I. YOU make a difference just by choosing hope and love.

After years of trying to fit the mold, I’ve accepted that my band plays a different tune … and dancing to my own tune makes me happy.  Find your heart song and celebrate!

Be Part of the Solution

10/26/2014

Some days are better than others.  In essence all days are good, depending on how you choose to look at your life and your situation.

I must say, that I refuse to take my “rose colored glasses” off. Why?  I can see pain and anguish everywhere.  I am capable of reading and understanding all that's going on in the world today.  However, my eye is always on a solution.  And if there is no solution, then proper perspective is needed as well as a call to action. 

Did you know that there is over $108 BILLION in unpaid child support in America alone? CNN reported this in 2012, and the number has only grown since then.  Where is our sense of common decency?  When is it that we begin to help those who really need help?  When do the children and their precious futures take precedents over greed, bureaucracy, and just plain irresponsibility?

The answer is today.  We all have the power to make a difference within the platform we are given.  Instead of turning a blind eye, or judging anyone, why not donate time, resources, and money?  I lived my childhood life largely unaware of  the challenges so many parents face.  I live my adult life acutely aware of every challenge that every parent faces.  I’ve chosen transparency as a way to stand up and face these challenges head on.  I am not afraid, nor will I leave any child without a voice.

We tweet, Facebook, Instagram and comment on everything we see on the internet.  How many of us shut down our devices and go out in the world and HELP?  I can say that I do.  I’ve helped over 1000 women and children in the past four months and wouldn’t change a thing.  I will continue to do so in every way possible.  I turned the corner, healing has begun, and life … a great life is in session.  To move forward…GIVE BACK!

Sadly, I’ve learned that many women are part of the problem.  Instead of standing together, they distance themselves and judge things based on their need to feel better about themselves.  I send them love.  I pray that social consciousness outweighs our need for validation and that TOGETHER we can all made a difference.  

JUDGEMENT.  There is value to this word.  Collectively, we have defiled this word and misused it.  Here is the definition:

judg·mentˈjəjmənt/nounnoun: judgement
1. The ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions.“ an error
of judgment”synonyms:discernment, acumen, shrewdness, astuteness, sense,common sense, 
perception, perspicacity, percipience,acuity, discrimination, reckoning, wisdom, wit, judiciousness,
prudence, canniness, sharpness, sharp-wittedness, powers of reasoning, reason, logic; More  

  • an opinion or conclusion.“they make subjective judgments about children’s skills”synonyms:assessment, evaluation, appraisal; More  
  • A decision of a court or judge.“the Supreme Court upheld the judgment of the Alberta Court of Appeal”synonyms:verdict, decision, adjudication, ruling, pronouncement,decree, finding;  sentence“a court judgment”
2. A misfortune or calamity viewed as a divine punishment.“the crash had been a judgment on the parents for wickedness”

 “The ability to make considered decisions or come to SENSIBLE conclusions”.  We need judgement.  We need to exercise GOOD judgement and we need to start being more sensible.  We cannot put ourselves above or below others.  Just read the situation for what it is, and make an informed decision.  One based in social consciousness.  Women, stand with your sisters, build them up and help them be strong.  If one were to put a camera or a microscope on any one individual for 24 hours, we would see all the beauty and perfect human imperfections that we all have.  Why not, focus on positivity and raise our children with social consciousness and a wide view of the world?  This breeds compassion.  We lack compassion and empathy. For WE (meaning the human race) are the only ones that can make this world a better place for our children,  Stand up! Be heard!  Be part of the solution! Today…step out of your comfort zone and change something for the better!  Every act of kindness helps.  It takes a village to raise a child.  It takes sensible judgment to do it properly.   Love More!
