Namaste beautiful mamas! I am SO delighted and honoured that you are here!
A teeny bit about myself, I am mama to five glorious beings, four earthside and one growing beautifully in my belly. He/she will be joining is in March of 2011, yay!!!! I am married to my soul mate whom I have been with earthside for 20 years.
My main career choice is: Mother. Nothing brings me more joy than being with and raising children. They are such incredible teachers and I learn new things from them every day. Some are things I may not want to face, but children being children, they leave little choice. This, I believe, makes them such powerful spiritual teachers.
Motherhood, oh motherhood, so bitter sweet...but it's the sweet that warms the heart and feeds the soul and that is the emphasis in my art. Those little everyday, ordinary miracles. You know what I am talking about. Gazing at your little one sleeping beside you when you know you really, really need to be sleeping because you will sure feel it the next day! But, oh, the sweet miracle lying before you is too beautiful for words. So pure and perfect it almost hurts. How can one sleep with a wee miracle lying right there before your eyes?! Those first kicks inside your belly, the first time you look into the eyes of your newborn, fresh, pink and smelling like heaven. The first smile, the sound of your baby laughing, sweeter than the most beautiful of symphonies. The perfect, rosebud mouth, the sweet smelling breath like that of angels...yes, you know exactly what I mean. Every day, ordinary miracles. These miracles I want to capture so I never forget this precious time that passes by so quickly, and so that I can share this journey with other mothers who too feel their heart swell with love as they experience their own every day miracles.
Ahhh, motherhood. Yes, the sweetness outweighs the bitterness by a thousand miles.
Blessings mothers of the world. You are amazing!
