Many moons ago, Bearded Fellas began as a way for me to be present as both artist and parent. It was an idea to embrace family, and it’s been a joy to welcome you to be a part of it for so long.
With the current world happenings keeping most everyone home, we plan to offer some ideas over the next few weeks to practice togetherness, cleanliness, creativity, and ideally...a little fun. Our hope is to encourage you and remind you that we’re all in this together. You’re so totally not alone! And really this applies whether there’s a pandemic, everyone’s simply home for spring break, or that daily “welcome to parenthood” reality.
There’s a saying “if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.” And man is it true! As parents, we set the tone in our home. So to start out this season of social distancing, we first want to ask where are you finding peace, hope, and joy? Is media/ social media helping or deterring you from resting in these? What do you need to mute or unfollow because they actually add stress? What or who do you need to add to your life that will encourage and elevate a place of peace?
These are questions that I have to ask myself regularly to evaluate where my heart is. Because “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh”.
And right now, if we get to spend all this time together, I want to make sure I’m promoting a space filled with love, peace, and happiness.
