“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.  She never existed before.  The woman existed, but the mother, never.  A mother is something absolutely new.”  ~Rajneesh The Story: One day two crazy kids fell in love. They got married barefoot on a September day. They moved to San Francisco to live out a dream in their favorite city. They thought they were pretty good at falling in love with things… but when they found themselves growing a brand new life, they discovered they had a lot left to learn. This is a blog about learning, and growing, and falling madly into a brand new sort of love. welcome.
