“For years, while raising children, a mother’s time is never her own,
her own needs have to be kept in second place,
and every time she turns around a hand is reaching out and demanding something.
Hence, a mother raising children,
perhaps in a more privileged way even than a professional contemplative, is forced,
almost against her will, to constantly stretch her heart.”

Happy Mother’s Day to all my mothering friends out there … even if your day is just a regular day, know that the best gift of all is your family, your children and the memories you make within your home.

These precious moments surpasses flowers, adventures and gifts of monetary value. I’m so thankful to be a mother ten times over!
