The greatest gift you can give your child

Is to believe in yourself...

Not be absorbed in yourself...

Or think only of yourself...

Or sacrifice yourself...

But to be confident as a mom (even when you don't feel it), and to try your best to stay centered in the fact that you are truly trying to do what's best for your child and getting better all the time...

Just as every child is different, so is every mom...  And the one thing I always focused on was the desire to be the best mom I could be... for MY child, not someone else's...

Part of that means becoming the best person you can be, for yourself...

And learning to balance the two...

Every child deserves a mom that's fabulous... 

So be fabulous!

(note - This post was written mother's day morning but just as I was about to preview and post my door opened and my family burst in and I completely forgot about it for the rest of the day.  And isn't that how it should be?)

I guess I often feel as if I'm sacrificing myself...
but when I really think about it...
That has very little to do with her but rather,
the entire situation.
And I'm doing my best to make that better.
I really am.
Because I want to be the best mommy that I can be.
Because we both deserve that.

Sounds like you had a fabulous Mother's Day and that is just exactly as it should be. :)
