As we move into the new year, our topic of Peace transformed into permission to feel our grief and how we can also sprinkle joy, while staying true to our emotions.

Here are some of the gems we harvested over the past few months all of which apply first to you and then to your partner. How we treat ourselves IS how we treat others.

This week in our Rare Mothers in Relationships Workshop we had a fun discussion about how humor supports us to feel connected in our relationships. You really can’t underestimate the power of laughing together. It's soooo good!

Thanksgiving is the start of the holidays which can be a very stressful time especially for Rare mothers (not to mention that we are still in a pandemic). There are many extra things to do and very often we create a list that includes lots of “shoulds.“

Each meeting of our Rare Mothers in Relationships Workshop seems to take us deeper and this one was no different. This week we talked about commitment. We examined how truly committed we are in our partnerships. We also asked the question, “Can I receive what is being offered? And if not, what is in the way?“

In our wonderful Rare Mothers in Relationship Workshop, we examined the question, "What I am already doing in my relationship to grow kindness and understanding? And what can I do to expand this in my relationship?" When we pondered these questions in meditation, journaling and discussion, what came out was that kindness and curiosity are queen if you want to have a healthy relationship.

This week in our Rare Mothers in Relationships Workshop we explored acceptance. Acceptance begins with you accepting yourself. Acceptance is different than resignation and a big piece to accept is the unknown. There are so many unknowns that you face in your role as a Rare Mother like: Will this treatment help? How long will my child be alive? Will I be able to secure the help I need to support my child? The list goes on.
