My daughter just turned 8 months old, and she just amazes me!!! For those who have children, how in Gods’ name did we ever create something so perfect and amazing? I believe that before coming back to live another life, we choose who we encounter to learn from. Hence, my daughter CHOSE ME to be her mother. She wanted to learn from me. That is just incredible. I look at her in awe. As a mother, I love watching her discover something new…how to wave…clap her hands…make silly faces. Then you throw in the other side of me, my spiritual side, and I’m dying to pick her brain. She still knows EVERYTHING!!! I could learn so much from her, but all she says is goo-goo. Actually, I already have learned a great deal from her. Before having her, I was never vocal enough when defending myself. I would bite my tongue and swallow blood in fear of making matters worse. Once I had her, it was a whole other ball game. I REFUSE for anyone to hurt her like they have to me in the past. Basically, my throat chakra is wide open!!!!! So in 8 short months, I grew myself a set of balls. 
I thank God everyday for her, but I also always remember to thank her for choosing me as her mommy. Because of her I am a better person, and I can’t wait to share all the other lessons I am supposed to learn with her!
I’m so happy to hear that you are enjoying the blessings of motherhood. As long as you keep that loving spirit; and realize that you can indeed learn from your child, as well as teach and guide your child, you and she will be blessed in so may ways. Keep that spirit!!!
Isn’t it funny how when it comes to our children, we automatically go into protective mode whenever we feel that someone or something might harm our little ones. We may be timid about speaking up for ourselves; but we certainly can gain unknown courages when it comes to our children, even when they are grownups. (You’ll see one day). But, there will come a time that we must realize that they are grownups and let them experience pain on their own so that they can learn and grow. That’s so hard to do (Sorry for the regression)
Congrats on the new baby!!! What a joy children bring to our lives. All you can do is love em. . .
Peace, Light and Love to you and yours . . .
