A mother’s love…
I fear it, every dream, every day and every breath. It is my ultimate fear, one I am more afraid of than any other one or combined fear. If my child should leave this world before I do. Just typing this brings an ache to my chest a heaviness to my heart and tears to...
The Grace of Being a Mother…
Lately I am learning the grace of being a mother, when to say no, when to let things go. Knowing what best for our family on the whole, not for individuals and not sacrificing our family for others. I am also learning how important it is that I feel confidant of myself as an...
I am…
somedays the disconnect I feel between who I am and who I want to be is wide, almost inconceivable. Hope, love and patience from my family and my own self are tending to what I need to be the best me, the best mom, the best wife, and best friend I could possibly be… Over...
