.Mamahood.

Seven years a mama.

Wow. So much and so little time at once.

As I go back to that moment I can see and feel the transformations that have occurred since then.
'They' say that every seven years all our cells in our body are completely new. So, we’re all completely new people since that day, seven years ago. Is it true what ‘they’ say? Well, I believe it is. And since I create my own reality, then I guess it is.

And what a relief! I’m ready for NEW.

Motherhood is all the things. All the joys and challenges are real. And my heart broke open in all the ways seven years ago. And more and more each and every day since then.

My body also broke open and experienced deep trauma seven years ago. A trauma I’ve been swirling and diving deep with, healing and transmuting, working intentionally with every day since then. And while I know it’s not gone, I’m celebrating the seven year mark. Embracing the new, and moving forward, with and through.
Our traumas don’t define us, but they do deepen us. They expose our raw essence, and make us more of who we are. And if we’re lucky, they leave us with a gift. A gift of empowerment, something to transform us, to strengthen us, and possibly leave us with a drop of wisdom to experience, share and impart on others.

I love celebrating the joys of mamahood. Because they are real.

And today I’m also holding and honoring the traumas that so many mamas carry, as they are just as real. We’re often meant to believe that they aren’t conversation worthy. And they are hard conversations. But those conversations are also healing. And in support of holding myself and all mamas dear, I’m honoring myself today. My courage, my strength, my power, my efforts, my failings, and ultimately my wisdom. It’s a remembered wisdom. A wisdom that comes from my mama, and hers before that and back through time immortal.

I am meant to break the silence.

I am meant to support and honor myself.

I am meant to support and honor others.

I am meant to be held and supported by others.

These are my truths.

Times are changing.

Truth is coming to the front of the line. And I’m here for it.

.Truth is personal, it is yours. Even if it doesn't match someone else's, it is still true.

I’m also here to support mamas in the ways I can.

It is one of the gifts I’ve been given. And it won’t go unused.
