Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to its essentials. (Meryl Streep)
This quote is my mantra right now: reduce to the essentials, reduce to the essentials, reduce to the essentials! There are many things I can do but there are only a few important things to do. So, I’m committing to gaining a laser like focus to the essentials:
1) God
2) Marriage
3) Children
4) Writing
For me that means going underground: cutting back on Facebook, checking emails, idle chatter, idle thoughts. You know, the clamor of life. In order to excel at the important, I’m cutting back on the unimportant.
What effect has motherhood had on you?
