I have never been as accepting of motherhood as I am now. In the beginning, I struggled tremendously. Unprepared when life thought I was ready. Mentally and emotionally I suffered in silence at nobody’s fault but my own. Regularly deflecting any outreaching hand and too afraid to own my truth.
Now I see this struggle as one of my greatest accomplishments. I am not a perfect mother but I am a great mother. In truth – it has nothing to do with my ability to lead as it does with my ability to follow.
Our girls are the unexpected guides I didn’t realize I needed. Their ability to love endlessly, provide grace and understanding, stand strong in their beliefs and live unapologetically authentic is my constant source for inspiration to be a better version of myself each day.
I find it difficult to formulate words around their influence; enriching my life is only a partial truth of how they have altered the reality I live.
My truest heart’s desire is to have a loving, respectful and expanding relationship with these women in the making.
To uplift them in any way I can.
Always be their support system when allowed.
I promise to never want for them in ways that they do not want for themselves and allow them the space to explore as much as they wish without guilting or shaming them.
To encourage them to seek out life experiences with a courageous heart and curious spirit.
And to love them wholly, no matter the circumstances, in the best way I know how to.
Forever & Always.
