  • My name is Shalagh Hogan, pronounced Shay-La. I'm the mother of a nine and a seventeen-year-old, and this ten year-old blog. I turn 56 this year. My days are spent practicing Creative Soul Living. My hope and joy as a writer, an artist, and an uber-creative, is that by sharing my journey of self-discovery, others will gain inspiration and permission for their own journeys. Creativity is essential to my well-being and, I believe, to everyone's.

Day 45 of my #100daysoflettinggoofpastshite The T Day 45 of my #100daysoflettinggoofpastshite

The Tired Tech

A 10 year old laptop.

Two past phones with "G issues".

I asked, where do I take these and my friend said, Staples. And so I trusted the universe and my friend, brought the box of stuff there, and LET it GO!

The Hardest part about making a decision is making a decision.

This was the glowing alien blue butt ache that started to happen to my phone at the beginning of the year. I went bought a Pixel in enough time to get used to it before our Ireland trip in March. 

Surprise, this phone was from 2018.

Me this morning wanting to rewrite my one big sham Me this morning wanting to rewrite my one big shame story. 

My struggle comes from being wounded with the shame of not being enough and not earning a living (aka money) since I've been a mother. I work extraordinarily hard every day to raise my children well and create a life and a home for them. But that's not a job that pays therefore, it doesn't count.

At any mention of money woes, my Dad says "Get a job" and I realize l am staring the patriarchy in it's dead eyes. The root of my shame. Capitalism excuses and justifies this ignorance and rudeness.

My first inclination is to rage for all the unseen caretakers through history who's unpaid work has created the world we live in. 

Feminism of the 70's wanted equal pay.
Feminism of '20's wants recognition and respect for keeping the world comfortable and fed. Because there's no dollar amount one can put on love and care and being present for your chidren.

I gave my kids the time and attention I wanted from my parents and didn't get. I am very proud of the job l have done.

Perhaps l will find a way to fill up the space left by my son's exit to college. It may be "a job". 

And I must figure out how to see myself through other eyes than this.

I took a two week hiatus from my blog posting to p I took a two week hiatus from my blog posting to prepared for and deliver my son to college. 

But this space where I've been since I returned seems cavernous and overwhelming. 

However ,l wasn't going to miss putting out another Friday blog post. 

So, yesterday My "Liminal Space Requires Loads of Self-care" post was published in which I call myself on all the self-care practices I'm not doing. Because when we don't do these things, we rely too much on what's left and "cope" with our addiction of choice.

Self-care is serious business.

It's the best blog you're not reading, until you are.
