About Me

My photo
Ruth Penders
Me in a nutshell: short and sweet. Physically short and sweet. Mentally short and sweet. You know those people who talk just to hear themselves talk? I'm the opposite of that: thoughtful, meaningful, introverted. I'm a passionate creative, few friends but all near and dear.--------- Simplicity is beauty. Not a fan of fluff. Two words that make me cringe: entitlement and disingenuous.--------- Mother and woman. The intensity of love and motherhood from the experience of having and raising a child is one I will treasure and could never have expected. Kind of like the holy trinity: I'm a mom and a woman individually and together. If that makes any sense.------------ Childbirth is a metaphor for the birth of a new woman and for some it's a transformation into the complex creature that not only raises a child but takes care of herself: she's driven personally & professionally, creative, fashionable, powerful, compassionate, with it! It's a lot of fuck'n work to be a good mom and it's even more work to be there for yourself. So props to us and let's keep it goin' strong!
