Submission Deadline:\u00a0Monday, August 7\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Permission.<\/strong> Sometimes we need permission to cut ourselves a break. It\u2019s OK to feel embarrassed, to fail or be rejected. We are not perfect and can\u2019t possibly be fully conscious of everything around us or live up to the expectations placed on us. There\u2019s no shame in a restart or a \u201cdo over\u201d \u2013 with yourselves or with your spouse, kids, neighbors or acquaintances. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, learn from them and move forward. When we ease up on ourselves, we\u2019re more likely to ease up on those around us. This may be the very foothold that allows guards to come down, vulnerability to sneak in and conversations that may have not otherwise been permissible be spoken.<\/span><\/p>\n

Topics to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Share an experience where you embarrassed yourself, lost face or put your proverbial \u201cfoot in your mouth.\u201d How did that experience open up conversations or relationships that wouldn\u2019t have happened otherwise?<\/span><\/p>\n

Share a \u201cmom fail\u201d and how it propelled you to start all over again or come at it from a completely different perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Complete life \u201cdo-overs.\u201d What have you completely scrapped in your life (old furniture, relationships, seasons in life, body image, schooling) and just decided to do-over?<\/span><\/p>\n

Taboo conversations that you\u2019re having with your spouse, your children or close friend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Share some of the \u201creal conversations\u201d you have around your dinner table.<\/span><\/p>\n

Share your \u201cMe, too!\u201d embarrassing moment and how you survived it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Differences can hold us back. Describe a time when you were afraid to start a conversation or a friendship for fear of saying the wrong thing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Share some of the unwelcomed comments or unsolicited advice you\u2019ve received from in-laws, your mother, friends, strangers regarding your mothering or family. Why did you decide to take, or not take, this advice?<\/span><\/p>\n

Write about a hobby, job or something that you\u2019ve attempted even though you had no prior experience or didn\u2019t think you\u2019d be good at it \u2013 something you just wanted to give a \u201ctry\u201d simply because you just wanted to. <\/span><\/p>\n

Share your story of giving yourself permission to forgive an offender or to receive forgiveness (either from someone else or yourself).<\/span><\/p>\n

How to submit<\/strong>
\nSend us your article at\u00a0content@mops.org<\/a>.
\n(600-900 word count)<\/p>\n

Submission Information<\/h4>\n

For more information about the tone of our materials and our submission process read our\u00a0writer\u2019s guidelines<\/a>\u00a0(Insider hint: We take these very seriously, so it\u2019s important you take a peek before submitting.)<\/p>\n

Submission Process<\/h4>\n

Just so you know, all articles are received on speculation. Regretfully, we are unable to respond to submissions when they are received. However, if your article is selected for publishing, we will email you in advance with the submission agreement and date we will be publishing for your records.<\/p>\n

And Since You Always Ask<\/h4>\n

The MOPS\u00a0Blog <\/em>does\u00a0post previously published or posted material. Just make sure it meets our editorial needs first. Because, again, we take those pretty seriously.<\/p>\n

What About General Content?<\/h4>\n

Yes, we certainly accept general articles about parenting, mothering and woman-related issues. In fact, we\u2019re always up for a good tear-jerker or one of those stories that gets us laughing. We welcome those submissions through the same submissions process, but we should tell you up front that since we\u2019re a theme-based magazine and blog, we only publish a few.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
