The stirring of the leaves this fall has stirred up quite a few thoughts and dreams. A professor that I work with at BSU just lost her mommy. It was quick and sudden. They spoke daily though they live states apart. My good friend just lost her grandmother. My best friend that just gave birth to her second a month ago was out with both kids playing at the park just three weeks after labor. My sister, God bless her as she enters the teenage years, is sticking to her guns in a cell phone battle with my nephew. My mommy will be travelling hell or highwater to get here for Lily Mae's birthday and Thanksgiving. And I just changed the battery in my car.
Wonderful Women, Powerful and Strong.
I am proud to be among these women and so many more. I remember a moment of oneness after 12 hours of labor 2 years ago (November 21st!). It was a oneness with the Earth, with Our Creator, with the natural order of things. I knew for that moment I was doing exactly what I was put here to do. I am reminded of this daily as my daughter smiles at me for no reason, pats me on the back, and gives me the tightest hugs an almost 2 year old can give. It rings true everytime we stroll through Winco and she shouts " Bless you Mama! Bless you!!" just to hear her echo.
We are mothers, we are creators, we are life, we are love.
Thank you, Mommies!!! You are all beautiful women!!!
