Finding hope in things that seem impossible, that is a mother's special courage, and after now months of 24/7 togetherness. Never again will any member of our family question what it is a mother does all day.
The patience required. How you find ways to endure AND entertain. How you act, preserve, and nurture that which remains no matter how difficult the task, or how many times you are defeated.
It is what we do, and it is who we are, but we are many. We surround your life as Caregivers, Surfers, Matriarchs, Business Owners, Teachers, Grandmothers, Nurses and the list goes on…
Because you have long been the keepers of the most precious aspects of our lives, and you have been selflessly doing it long before the world realized how delicate this experience truly was.
So please enjoy this tool kit, resources below, and treat yourself to some support and self-care. For those of you separated from your matriarchs and mothers we are sending you a hug. Many of us are as well, and we’ve never wanted to give one so badly, but we encourage you to pass this along.
We hope it offers you a sliver of support, and an opportunity to care for yourself and one another.
This edition of the Ripple Effect is for you.

Listening
Water People | Lauren L Hill + Helena Norberg Hodge
"We evolved in intergenerational communities, closely bonded to the land, to the plants, to the animals around us. Instead of being dependent on distant, anonymous institutions and businesses, we depended on one another in human- scale structures and institutions. Localism taps into the deep need of community and a sense of place." - Helena Norberg Hodge
