Am I still there? Motherhood often feels like an i Am I still there? Motherhood often feels like an invisibility cloak. There are some days I feel like I am coming back to myself, comfortable in my body again, happy with the kisses and cuddles and “I love you’s” from my children. Sometimes I think I’m finding the women I left behind when I had children. And then there are other days where I feel trapped in a life of my own making. A slave to cooking, cleaning, dishes, laundry, diapers, appointments, screaming, tantrums and boredom. I watch myself and my dreams float just out of reach - out of time, out of energy, out of me. There are some days I feel invisible and ask myself “am I still there?” Is there any part of me that remains? Where is she? “Am I Still There” 1,2,3.

I left my kids with my husband and flew across the I left my kids with my husband and flew across the country for a solo vacation in Glacier National Park. When I go on trip I often look for takeaways. “How can I translate my trip into something that serves my artwork?” My best friend of 21 years texted me months ago and said “hey come to this mom’s retreat with me.” I said yes. My 11 month old still isn’t weened but I took the trip anyway. I met a whole bunch of new friends and had amazing conversations about motherhood, work, life, family, bodies, our challenges and resources. I grew up in the north west and coming back to the lakes and the mountains will always bring me peace, joy, and excitement. I never miss the chance to go north. We went to the rodeo. We went to farmers markets and tourist shops. I remember going huckleberry picking as a child so I obviously bought huckleberry everything (the ice cream and syrup are the best). We hiked stunning trails and ended up at crystal clear lakes with colorful rainbow stone floors. I saw beautiful wildlife and a chipmunk even tried to come home with me. We played mini golf, danced to live music and swam in lake McDonald. I wish I had more time to explore even more. But I know I’ll be back soon hopefully with my family in tow. My big takeaways? - It’s ok to rest and play and not translate everything back into my artwork. - Solo travel is important to connect with yourself and take a break from parenting 24/7. - My brain needs more rest than my body at this season of my life. - Spend time with people who are not like you and you’ll probably find you’re a lot more a like than you might think if you’re willing to listen. - Leave your phone in the other room for half a day. - Be at peace with yourself and try to accept your changes instead of hating or resisting them. Find new love for yourself even when you feel far away from yourself. Where should I go next?
