Praise of creative motherhood on mothers day
This year, I can’t be with my own mother on mothers day – But I can be with my wonderful daughter that has praised her love for me all day. Mothers day is yet-another-one-of-my-favorite days – Im all about celebrations for different kinds and it makes you appreciate the people around you.
When I became a mother at the age of 24, it was the most frightening and life-changing experience ever – and it putted me into a creative boost of dimensions. Suddently I didn’t know what I had used all my life for and seriously I could not remember what I used to do all day without a gorgeous child attached to me at all times – which also made me realize that time was scarce and there where so many things that I wanted to do with my life. My company – Toothless Tiger came into existance right afterwards and the name derives from my daughter. Even though I used to create a lot when I was younger, it was first after my daughter was born that it really came into my notion how important it where for me. So after she was born I found a way to express myself through my writing and use these creations to help companies do new cool things with new tools. I think creation is very important, and one of the most underestimated parts of business. First I gave birth to my daugther, then to my company, then to client work and books and rebirth to boats and what else have you. It has really become a way of life for me and it’s the best way I know how to spend my time – creating and thinking new. Creative motherhood is something I use everyday because it’s something really deeply grounded in me. Creativity and business is such a huge part of my passion – if not the primary part.
And for me mothers day (and fathers day) is a celebration of what is giving you life, and what you give life to. it’s an appreciation of the now and why you’re right here in this second, it’s a celebration of passion=)
