Duty

I am a dutiful wife: I have a duty to love, honour and care for my husband.

I am a dutiful mother: I have a duty to my children, to raise them whole and raise them well. Keep them clothed, fed and content, if not truly happy.

I have a duty to my family and friends: to care for them when they need me, to listen when they need a listening ear.

I have a duty to my readers: to be inspired by the people I meet, to write for their needs.

But most of all, and above all else, I have a duty to myself: I have a duty to love, honour and respect my voice. To take care of me, to correctly and vociferously identify, and then understand my needs as a woman, a spiritual being, a wife, mother, friend, writer, singer, daughter, lover, caregiver etc.

I have to put duty above all else. Duty to whom? Duty to myself. Because if I don't, duty to everything and everyone else breaks down and falls to shit.

The spiritual aspect involves a deep connection between the mother, baby, and the universe. When this connection is disrupted, mothers may experience spiritual postpartum depression (SPD). SPD differs from conventional PPD, as it centers on the loss of a sacred bond during childbirth. The Exper

What is mindfulness (and what do we get wrong about it)?

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing our attention and awareness to the present moment, without judgment. It involves being fully present and engaged in the current experience, rather than getting caught up in thoughts about the past or worries about the future. While mindfulness has become increasingly popular in recent years, there are some misconceptions about what it is and how to practice it. Here are a few things that we often get wrong about mindfulness: Mindfulness is not just about relaxation: While mindfulness can be a relaxing practice, its benefits go beyond stress reduction. Mindfulness has been shown to improve cognitive function, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Mindfulness is not about eliminating thoughts: Many people believe that the goal of mindfulness is to stop thinking altogether. However, this is not possible or desirable. Rather, the goal of mindfulness is to become more aware of our thoughts and emotions, and to observe them without judgment. Mi
