For many months now, I have been asking God to help me be a more joyful mother— not just a good mother, a present mother, a loving mother, but a joyful mother.
Hehe I love reading this and knowing how you would say it in person , how your eyes would widen in some parts and arms flinging in the air in other parts , sitting forward in your seat then sitting back , gee I love the way you write woman . So many giggles in here . Love you !! And holy moly you now have 3 !!!
Oooh its so nice to read from you again. And thanks for the ramble around sleep. Resonates a 100%! I'm not a mumma, but having phases of great insomnia I've also found out that the stressing about not-sleeping is the most exhausting. Of course I'll still be tired if I've slept just very little, but also I'll be very much ok. And eventually the anxiety is a big chunk that keeps the insomnia wheel turning so if I can just accept it (but I have to admit it's kind of the hardest part) then my sleep will eventually return. And as you also say it, isn't it like this for everything or at least a lot of the things in life ? The story we make up about what we experience weaves deeply into our life-experience... we gotta choose the threads that we want to be feeling. Thank you 🫶
Ahhh the stressing over ‘feeding to sleep’ … I nearly (probably did) destroy my 3rd bubbas newborn phase and myself with that dilemma 😑
He’s 13 months now, we sometimes (often) feed to sleep, sometimes until just drowsy, sometimes daddy or nanna put him down. And it’s all ok 🙂 I’m trying to remember to just cherish it and him. Surrendering my mind from all the chatter. In another 12 months life will be so different again. The 3rd time breastfeeding saggy boobs do get uncomfortable and agitated by constant suckling at times though 😬
Caring for His creation. I love that visual and truth of motherhood.
Beautiful, PETA. You're doing it all right, in alignment with the divine design of mother-baby dyad. Xx
I love You. ❤️
I loved jumping off that platform dive. Ahh the peace 🙏🏼💜✨ I feel more peaceful just reading x x
So beautiful. Thank you, Peta.
