I love being a mom. Those babies of mine are my whole world.
But motherhood isn\u2019t all that I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love being a wife. My spouse is everything to me.
But being a wife isn\u2019t all that I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All that I am is so much more.
All that I am is so complex, yet so simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am me. All my roles are hats I wear, relationships I have.
But they are not ME.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, I am a mother. I am a wife.
But also I AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a woman full of life and love and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am full of potential and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am capable and powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m a wife and a mother and a sister and a daughter and a friend and a lover and a neighbor and a confidant and a teammate and a leader and a founder and a worker and a mechanic and a designer and a creator and a musician and a cook and a cleaner and an athlete and an adventurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But mostly, I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I experience because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I matter because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I live because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I empathize because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I create because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I breathe because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel deeply because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I care because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My value, my virtue, my presence
is because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My experience matters. My viewpoints matter. My values matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I value my emotions and experiences and desires and my self because I AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I help
because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I cry
because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I shout
because I am<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I laugh
because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I trust myself.
because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe myself.
because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I support myself
because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I value myself
because I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
