a day to revel in me


Mother's Day has never been so cherished, so important in my life as it is now. Motherhood is integrated into my person, my soul. I am a mother to three spirits who have graciously come into my life. Nobody can ever prepare you for the transition into motherhood. I knew all of the logistical changes but I could never have conceived of the shift at the core of my being. I care more about the mother I am to these children than I do anything else. I love any chance I get to talk about parenting styles, temperament, and discipline. I listen in on other mother's conversations about their children, looking for validation or even a tidbit of advice. This is most definitely the most challenging role I have ever taken on, but I am fuller, more grounded, and feel a more expansive field of light and love. This is the first year where I feel like this is my day. The sun is shining, there are two vases full of beautiful flowers on my counter, a hand made frame with this picture of my three gorgeous babies, and 3 small cards full of encouraging, glorious, and loving words from my husband. Today, I revel in this challenge, this opportunity, this most amazing journey.
