A MOTHER'S LOVE

Joy is in really valuing yourself as a woman! The resilience, strength and ability to unconditionally give as a mother is awe inspiring!! Recently, I went to the shops, desiring to buy something for our room that I'd had my eye on for a while. I was really conscious of a particular thought about whether I could really give myself this item. Before Ethan, I would've purchased it in a heartbeat!! In that moment, I felt my heart expand and I reflected on the times I had unconditionally given to our beautiful son: kisses on his forehead to soothe his tears; endless cuddles; trips to the park for the sheer joy of it; murmurings of 'I love you' and the numerous smelly nappies changed. I thought, YES I can absolutely give this to myself. Can you give as freely to yourself as you do to your husband and children? Sending you so much love and joy xx

STRENGTH OF WOMEN

Joy is in celebrating the power of women!! I always knew women were strong, but after having a baby, I realised how innately and incredibly generous and giving women are. I remember for the first few months after our son arrived, grieving terribly for the loss of myself. I couldn’t find or feel who I essentially was. My life was devoted to giving wholeheartedly to my son; I was a mother now. Where had I gone? I struggled to find the words to communicate to my husband how I felt. However, I reached a pivotal point, where I realised, I hadn’t gone anywhere – if anything, I had transformed into a female warrior, determined more than ever before to contribute to our planet. A planet where our children are always encouraged to choose love over fear. A planet where we are encouraged to step out onto our path and share our very own special gift within us with everyone! A planet where we are encouraged to embrace our innate strength, personal power and potential! It is NEVER too late to step out onto the path that excites you and fills you with LOVE every time you think about it. Love always attracts more love xx
