duck in rain.

February 26, 2012 by mama lola

there are days when i feel raw.
raw and vulnerable to the world. to its people, judgements, and words.


today, someone close to me said things that were hurtful. this person made judgements about me and how i mother. i was deeply pained by the comments and now in hindsight wish so desperately i could have returned with some hefty comebacks. instead, i stuttered something pathetic and felt doubt creep into my mind about how i mother.


i must be stronger and stand like a duck in rain, allowing the negative comments roll off of my back and shatter on to the floor into millions of insignificant pieces.

[ sad eyed lion ]



i will end on a lighter note…


to help clear my mood i stumbled upon this, while checking facebook. artist simon beck walked and created these awe inspiring geometric shapes into snow. follow the link to find more pictures.





happy saturday night, folks!

xo, mama lola

    Yes, let those negative comments roll away…you don’t need them. And remember you are a great mother, I’ve seen the love you have for your kids.
