As you might expect, motherhood has really been top of mind for me (more than usual) since last month when I launched my first solo book project, Mother’s Work:  Pearls of Wisdom and Gems from my journey.  In writing Mother’s Work, I reflected on my experiences as an outmanned and overwhelmed mom of twin boys.  I unearthed many lessons and thought-provoking experiences.  I tried to capture meaningful insights that I hope will inspire and encourage other moms on their journey.     

Before we turn our focus toward Dads on Sunday, I want to share some reflections on perspectives I collected during our celebratory “Month of Mom”.  Enjoy!

There are many different aspects to motherhood. The most important aspect is the unconditional love that mothers have for their children. Another aspect of motherhood is the sacrifice and hard work one must endure to provide for her family, which can be a difficult task at times. Mothers also face challenges like balancing work with parenting, but it's all worth it in the end when they see what a difference they make in their children's lives.   

Mothers are the foundation of their family

Mothers are the foundation of their family. Mothers hold everything steady.  They provide for children while also nurturing them to become productive members in society. They bring life into this world with one single touch that is filled with love more powerful than any other force on earth.

Mothers are a pillar holding up their house so it doesn't crumble under pressure or collapse due to lack of support from others who should be there but aren’t there to provide either physical or emotional reinforcement when needed most.

Mothers should be respected and appreciated for

all that they do…

Mothers nourish and nurture everyone around them, whether they be children or adults of all ages – even pets! Mothers should never go unnoticed for the great job they do in keeping things moving smoothly at home.  They also make life outside it much better by being there to support other mothers when times get tough.
