"your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding" Kahlil Gabran

i am always intrigued by how much we want to resist pain. childbirth is a great example. we view the pain of giving birth as bad- however through the pain comes an incredible being...a gift.

i used to run from pain until i gave birth. i realized the potential in allowing my body to feel it- and what was on the other side of it...

was more gratitude- more life- a beautiful child and endless potential of what my body can do.

miracles.

this is just one area- but in life there are many experiences that bring the feeling of sadness and pain. it aint fun to be in those times, however, when we allow ourselves to feel it, there is another side.

maybe a deeper understanding of a lesson that was needed to be seen/healed. maybe a deeper love of life...maybe peace.

we are all different which ROCKS- but we are also all the same.

when my daughter falls and gets a boo boo she wants me to kiss it better....

i wonder what the world would look like if as moms we asked others to help us ...support us...and love us in those moments of pain.

i believe in our potential- i believe that in order to demonstrate to our children what it FEELS like to be supported we need to experience for ourselves.

pain, joy, confusion, frustration all have their place.

we are human beings that go through this thing called life to DISCOVER more about who we are; just like our children do.

why is it that at times, we forget to kiss our own boo boo's? 

my hope for the world..and for all you mommas is that you embrace your feelings- ask for love and support in the boo boo times and RECEIVE the kisses that make you feel better

this is the very essence of unconditional love...

and it starts from within...
