Writing Mamas’ New Baby!

Ah, there is nothing like your first.

Your first kiss, your first article or book published, your first baby.

The Writing Mamas just spawned their second child.

She is a different version of our original Website. Its father was generous and sweet Michael, it’s midwife Avvy Mar, I added copy, a bit of code, and the rest of the members of The Writing Mamas provided their own beloved photos.

It was a labor of love.

This second labor took even longer than the first, about a year and a half. There was bedrest, a broken foot, then later a foot operation for me, writing assignments, a thriving Web business for Dilyara Breyer, our incredible Web designer, and a thousand activities and screaming children on a daily basis. At least it seems like that many kids and that many screams. Or our we just seeing things? We can hardly see anymore so it makes sense that we can barely notice two fingers in front of us. (Hello? Is someone there?)

We hope you’ll enjoy the new look and feel of our new baby. Our child is yours. (Think you can watch her on Saturday night?) Please send us your comments, ideas, etc.

We’ll be adding more features as the baby grows. She’s just in a onesie right now. But we have lots of pretty clothing that she will grow into.

Enjoy our monologues, upcoming articles, and features. If you want to start a salon in your area, talk to us. We’d love to have you join our growing fold.

Most importantly, you do so much for others, do something for yourself. Read. Write. Whatever makes you happy. Take time each day to breath and to bitch. Breath and bitch. Breathe and bitch. There is a certain alliteration to it all.

The Writing Mamas are all about Real Motherhood. The Things We Think, Say and Wish We Could Say. On this Website, we invite you to do just that because we are raw, pained, in love, in scream, insane, creative, magicians, extraordinary, talented, selfless and striving to be more selfish, which isn’t easy, because we are mothers.

We are also goddesses.

We love our children so much that sometimes we can’t believe they are all ours. They make mistakes. So do we. We try to teach them to behave. Sometimes, we are still learning that ourselves. What matters is the love we have for each other.

The Writing Mamas is a family. You may be part of our immediate family or an extended one. If you are new, welcome to the fold. And please — I don’t mean laundry.

Instead, enjoy a cup of double mocha latte grande or a delicious glass of Merlot while you read our LOL and touching pieces. They are written for you.

Warmly,

Dawn Yun, Founder, The Writing Mamas, July 6, 2009.
