Share Your Beyond Mom Story
You and I, we are moms. We pass each other everywhere - at the playground, school, doctor's office, grocery store aisle, you name it. But it's just so hard to get beyond mom. After we've exhausted comparing diaper brand notes and school options, it's time to go. But what about you? What about me? We are each something more, but rarely do we get a chance to share it.

You and I, we are moms. We love our children. We love our families. But being a mother is not the whole of who we are. Beyond Moms is a place for you, mama, to share your personal story of who you are "beyond mom" and connect with other moms on a deeper, more honest level.

So tell us - what is the story you really wish you could tell the world about yourself? What do you love to do? Dream to do? Are dying to do? Who were you before you were a mom and who are you beyond being a mom? Like most mothers, you probably haven't given yourself the time, space, or permission to ask yourself those long buried questions. So here's your chance. Please try. Dig deep. And once you think you've reached your raw soul - dig deeper. That's where the good stuff is.


How to Submit
Just share your honest story about what lives in your space beyond mom, however you want to tell it, in about 600 words or less and email to: beyondmomsblog@gmail.com. If less means a photo and a few lines - great! I will happily post whatever you have to offer.

Maybe your story is about something you've already done, or want to do, or can't bring yourself to try. Maybe it's about what motherhood has taught you about yourself and the world. And maybe your story is about what you haven't yet discovered. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it. Aside from the word count, there are no rules, and certainly no judge or jury. If you have photos, blog or website links, or other writings or excerpts that help to tell your Beyond Mom story, send those too. I will post your story and links on this blog.

Be courageous! Be daring! Be yourself and - share.
