Mother’s Day: Living a Full Life Beyond Motherhood

May 12, 2024 / Cris and Maria / 0 Comments

Be a full person. Motherhood is a glorious gift, but do not define yourself solely by motherhood. Be a full person. Your child will benefit from that.”
chimamanda ngozi adichie, “dear ijeawele, or a feminist manifesto in fifteen suggestions

I am a mother. Motherhood is joyous, painful, busy, entertaining, fun, hard and sometimes all of these things in the same day. There is so much more to life though, that we can’t just live and choose only with regards to the ‘motherhood’ part of our lives.

Happy Birthday, Maybe? – to Shakespeare, my Imaginary Friend!

April 23, 2024 / Maria / 2 Comments

The reason for the ‘maybe’ is that it is not definitely known if April 23 is the day Shakespeare was born. However, it is known that he died on this day. Furthermore, it is the feast day of St. George, the patron saint of England. All fits together nicely, if it is true that Shakespeare was born on this day . . . Meanwhile, I wrote this post for mariasmind.com and I am resurrecting it for the day on which Shakespeare’s birthday is celebrated. Hope it makes you smile.

One of the highlights of my visit to London, England in 2022 was exploring Westminster Abbey. Specifically, I was enchanted by Poets’ Corner, where there is a memorial to Shakespeare, who is buried in his hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon. I recorded this while I was in the Abbey.
