Create Your Own Tribe

January 24, 2009

One of the biggest challenges many of us face is finding like minded moms to hang out with. I call this “finding your tribe” and think it’s so important in order to be really happy in motherhood. It doesn’t mean that all of your friends have to be exactly LIKE you, but it does mean that you have to have mutual respect for each other and an appreciation for each other’s strengths. Friends

Something crossed my desk the other day that I thought was pretty cool. It’s called Moms Meet and is a brainchild of KIWI magazine and Earth’s Best Organics. They are looking for “Mom Ambassadors” to start moms groups in their local areas.

This sounds like a great way for women to meet other likeminded invididuals in their community, and especially other moms who are devoted to learning and growing and becoming more informed in their choices.

If your tribe hasn’t found you yet, you can always create one. :)

    Yes, girl groups are so much fun and I’ve been in many during my mothering years. But now that I don’t have kids at home anymore, I like my tribe to be grandkids and grown daughters.

    But I think it’s a TERRIFIC idea for young mothers and young ladies to have a “tribe.” It’s fun, encouraging, uplifting, informative,
    and plus we need a place to talk about the “men” folks!

    If you don’t have one, like Carrie said get out and create one!
