9/20/2019 0 Comments Same Mission. Wider Focus. When I first launched The Joyful Leap with my friend, Elizabeth in 2017, I was a new mother who had naively assumed that I would be immune to the frustrations typical mothers felt in their vocation because of all the waiting and ‘work’ it had taken for me to get there. Spoiler Alert: Infertility doesn’t make the motherhood “Cross-free.” Being a Parent is Hard and Challenging and completely Consuming at times. I never realized how selfish and petulant I can be until I became a mother. Christ is using this to help me grow. More thoughts on this, but that is another post for another day… Anyway: we started the business with a focus on new and expectant Catholic mommas. Just as Mary “went in haste” to her cousin Elizabeth’s house, we wanted to be there to encourage women as they transitioned to motherhood. It is such a Holy and Intense transition and we wanted to encourage others to invite Mary in for assistance. Two and a half years later, I am in a very different season. Infertility has clouded my life again and honestly, looking at the logo I had designed years ago has become a trigger. Two big round beautiful bellies full of life while mine hangs, stretched and empty. Yet, the mystery of the Visitation remains my favorite of all the rosary. The event of the Visitation is more than two expectant mothers being there for each other. The fact is, lil’ baby John the Baptist leapt with joy at the presence of his Savior. And I am striving to do the same. And I want to help others grow in this awareness of His awesome omnipresence. As He said, “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” These words give us Hope. They give us Comfort. And they should fill us with Joy no matter what season we’re in. So without further ado: here's my new logo!
