Oh Mothering, How I Miss You...
![]() |
One of my favorite issues. |
Total LOSS TODAY!
So, so sadly; we are saying goodbye to our family favorite magazine, Mothering. Why, oh why. I felt that this magazine was a little light at the end of the tunnel, just lingering long enough to remind me to keep going; keep following my heart in the parenting ways that come so instinctual and natural to us; we don’t have to be mainstream; we don’t have to do what everybody else is doing; who we are and how we make choices is perfect. I really feel a pain in my heart to see this magazine become online only. The hard copy has a special place on my shelf. It is referenced often and given as a special gift to any new moms I am close to. I will be scooping up old issues to support my Mothering addiction.
I have not made peace with this announcement. It seems to me that if enough of us are willing to pay more, to share more, to spread this gift to others, that the doors of the Mothering Magazine printing house should be able to stay open. I wish I would have known there was a need sooner.
Darn this economy and cutbacks. BRING MOTHERING BACK! http://www.mothering.com/

Please be my valentine, oh sweet child o' mine. You run through my heart, you pierce me with your smile, you live in my etheric and capture my soul.
I am yours, your serving mother. I run to great purpose; to hold a place for your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual development can flourish to its potential; uplifting and guiding you on such a journey while holding high esteem, passion, commitment and standards in this home to foster your self-exploration in loving ways.
Daily I do my best to remove the obstacles that may limit your ability to thrive and build strength in this house through modeling with care, compassion and rhythm.
It’s a tremendous privilege to raise you my child. I am honored to love and be loved by you, my little V.
