BEING A MOTHER IS
IMPORTANT
As mothers we can at times feel a bit slighted, over worked, unappreciated and just plain
burnt out. We try so hard to do it all and attempt to juggle more tasks and duties than
any human possibly could. A little voice inside tells us that we need to be perfect
and when we aren't we are ridden with guilt. At these times if we aren't careful, we feel
like a failure. It can be hard, but please remember: you are a mother, and you are
important. Your job is not going unnoticed even though many days it may seem like it. You
will reap some rewards instantly and others you won't experience for years to come.
When you are having some of those darker moments, try to break away in
your thoughts. Close your eyes and see the faces of your children and the
preciousness they hold. See them with their smiles, their outstretched arms asking for a
hug, and their tears needing to be wiped away. Envision all of those special craft
projects and homemade cards that were made for you, out of love from your children.
Relish in both the joys and trials as they will teach you to grow in ways you
never knew. This thing called Motherhood is a wonderful, exciting, and
at times, a frightening ride. But, would you want it any other way?
GOLDEN NUGGETS
I wanted to share with you some of my favorite and most powerful quotes
that I've come across for women. I have found many of these to either give me the extra
encouragement I needed, a gentle push in the right direction or the ever necessary
"reality check". I hope you will find some of these helpful for your life and
your business.
"Our job is not to straighten each other
out, but to help each other up." Neva Coyle
"Your example is much more powerful than anything you can ever say."
Elisabeth Elliot
"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you got put up with the rain."
Dolly Parton
"It is easy to love those who are far away. It isn't always easy to love those who
are right next to us. It is easier to offer a dish of rice to satisfy the hunger of a poor
person, than to fill up the loneliness and suffering of someone lacking love in our own
family." Mother Teresa
"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar".
Helen Keller
"It is not how many years we live, but what we do with them."
Evangeline Booth
"When we are away from God, He misses us far more than we miss Him."
Ruth Bell Graham
"If we had no winter,the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes
taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." Anne Bradstreet
"Whatever our situation in life...we can and should surround ourselves with friends
who not only understand us, but also inspire us to make the most of our current
calling." Beverly LaHaye
"Originality is not doing something no one else has ever done,but doing what has been
done countless times with new life, new breath." Marie Chapian
"I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery
depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances." Martha
Washington
"Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength.
However, there are times when it takes much more strength to now when to let go and then
do it" Ann Landers
"A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can
do a great deal to make all women beautiful." Jacqueline Bisset
"Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them: but do not let them master you. Let
them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. When we do the best we can, we never know
what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another." Helen Keller
"It's never too late - in fiction or in life - to revise." Nancy
