Kerry Gilmartin from Bamboobies shares how her heart as grown and adapted through motherhood. “I’ve decided to try to embrace being ‘in the thick of it’ and I feed what is calling out to be fed – my babies, my husband, my business, my self and my soul – on a whim almost. I play it by ear and try to adapt each day. When it doesn’t feel like its working I try to ask for help – “Help! Over here! Send more resources quick!” I ask for a nap, quiet time with one child, a hike or a date.”
Parenting requires a blend of flexibility and boundaries. I have been growing in the areas of flexibility and boundaries, suffering consequences of putting one above the other along the way. Nothing has developed these more in me than parenting. Boundaries become more tangible when we are aware of our need for them. Children act as a magnifying glass on that need.
