A snippet from my new blog :)

PRINCETON YEARS

Just then a strong breeze came by and blew me further north. Eventually I landed in Princeton, New Jersey. By the time I was 24 I was the mother of 2 children under the age of 3. My husband, a physician, was away a lot, working and studying for his PhD at Harvard School of Public Health.

We bought the house we could afford. In time, it became the backdrop of a thousand special moments, but at the outset, it was what my friend called "a dawg". Renovating a house in a new town, while caring for two young children made this period intense.

That house eventually became a home where we hosted frequent dance parties, sometimes with live music, and the 50th wedding anniversary of my in-laws. Summers were filled with extended family and fireflies twinkling in our wooded backyard. Winters were made bearable by deer and feathered friends who sought water from our babbling brook, which never seemed to freeze. In the autumn, flocks of turkey vultures descended on us and blackbirds darkened the sky.

In Princeton, I stepped giddily into adulthood and motherhood. I ran a household, built community, completed my masters, explored activism and art.

Families, Friends & Fans,
I am not sure there is anything more joyful than a young child's laugh. Spontaneous and genuine, an unequivocal expression of joy. This is about feeling good in the moment, "right now", a phrase my 2 year old grandson, Kanayo loves to use without a hint of urgency.
Since I departed London, he and I have FaceTimed, I sent him a selfie video showing the planes at the airport and soon, I will WhatsApp a voice note, a recording of me talking and singing a favorite song. I miss them all terribly!
Yes, we will keep a digital connection, but he (& they) will live in the moment, with mommy and daddy and nursery and Arinzé and baby doll and books and light switches and clementines and cars and swimming and trains.
💞
New-parent life is NOT easy. It is made up of moments of supreme joy and wonder, moments of extreme frustration, feelings of longing and dreaming against a backdrop of sleep deprivation and mounds of laundry.
Parents of young children do the best they can with the resources they have, while practicing, as much as stressed lives can muster, gentle, mindful parenting and making time to connect with each other. *I wish there was more support for families.*
Sure, we had lots of fun and enjoyed each other's company, but they will miss me especially for the practical help that I was happy to give - an extra pair of willing and capable hands, a grateful heart and the gift of weekly sleepovers.
💞
It was a privilege and a gift to be a resource, to support and serve and be an integral part of this growing family. Giving big and plenty thanks!
And I give BIG thanks to my 23 patr(E)ons. Each month I get a shot in the arm, a particularly concrete reminder that what I do matters. THANK YOU so very much!
I have exciting things up ahead for this year and look forward to sharing these with you.
Thank you and wishing you all a peaceful, mindful 2023!
Warmly, Miss Pam
