Hey my lovely poopies. So sorry I couldn’t blog yesterday. Sometimes life gets in the way and there just aren’t enough hours in the day. I’m doing my best to write every single day and will continue to keep it up as long you all are out there reading. And before I leave you with today’s momtra, I’d just like to extend a very sincere, heartfelt thanks to you wonderful, wonderful women out there who are reading Poopie Mommy. I can’t tell you how awesome it has been to have some of you come up to me at carpool or inside school or at the gym and tell me you’re reading it and enjoying it. I’ve heard from a lot of you via email too and all of your kind words, feedback and support is truly remarkable to me and incredibly inspiring. I love what you all have to say and and hope you know that your comments and posts are always welcomed and encouraged. I started Poopie Mommy so we could have an online community where we all feel comfortable sharing our journeys through motherhood together. I know it’s helping me to write about it all, so I hope it’s helping you too!

And now to today’s MOMtra. So simple is it, that when I first heard it, I thought perhaps it wasn’t to be taken seriously. But after much thought and inner searching, I have come to understand its infinite wisdom and embrace it as one of my favorites. The original Siddha yoga gurus would often say the following about life:

All that is that, is that. 


I’m gonna let you poops mull this one over throughout your weekend and see if you can’t figure out for yourselves the profound beauty and simplicity of this expression. All that is that, is that. You get to the bottom of this one, and everything will become so clear – clearer than you ever thought possible. It’s an amazing mantra once its magic takes hold of you and you find yourself invoking it subconsciously. Try to say it often over the next few days and I assure you, its vital meaning will reveal itself to you. All that is that, is that. All that is that…is that.

Finally, many of you have spoken to me or written to me about various topics you’d like to see on the blog. ‘Ole poops here is keeping a running list and I promise to do my best to cover them all over the next few weeks. And please, keep communicating with me about what you’d like to see. I love hearing from you!

Have an amazing weekend, poopies! I’ll meet you right back here on Monday.
