Thanks & Hope

I have had some incredible women in my life that have influenced my path for the better. I have a mother & mother-in-law whom I love, admire & appreciate. I have friends that are mothers, sisters that are mothers & cousins that are mothers. They are all amazing & beautiful! I am grateful everyday for the influence these women have in my life to help me realize when I am being irrational, to give a supportive hand when it's been a hard one & to laugh with on a regular basis. I am truly blessed this mother's day with amazing women in my life. I look forward to joining the ranks of motherhood one day & until then I hope for that special time in my life when I am ready & prepared! Until then I will keep learning, observing & practicing with all those little kiddos I am so blessed to have in my life! I love them all & enjoy their sweet spirits. Thank you for sharing you're lives with me!

A little inspiration (maybe for you, but totally for me!)...

To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. - Elizabeth Gilbert

*Amber-Thank you so much for being so aware & loving to remember me & honor me on this day reserved for Moms! I was deeply touched, I love you!

  1. That was a beautiful and inspirational quote. Thank you. It's so hard to actually trust that something you want so much (something that is truly a righteous desire of your heart) will come and that you will be blessed. But my sister and I are living proof that motherhood is possible...even when you feel like your hope is almost all used up and you can't keep going. And don't forget, just because your little angel isn't here quite yet, she still calls you "mommy".

  2. You are awesome, and it has been so nice having you around to be an Aunt to my kiddos. You teach them things, play with them and help them all the time, and that is what a mother does! You deserve to be appreciated and loved on that day too! Love ya!
