I've always believed that being a mother is the biggest responsability a woman can have in her life. In mine, I noticed a lot of significative transformations along with a big change in my priorities. The most important thing to me is to be the best mom as possible to my children. I want to love them, communicate with them, be patient and teach them everything I know. I don't doubt that becoming a mother was the most nourishing experience in my life. I can truly say that I know unconditional love.
I was blessed for having an affectionate mom that realized we were unique people that had their own way to go through. She once said to us, "we love you and raised you in the best way possible, but you don't belong to us, you belong to the world and you have to find your own way". My mom was my model and I'll be always greateful to her. Thanks mom!
On this Mother's Day, I'd like to enjoy the opportunity to talk about another important topic, breastfeeding. It's essential for the newborn baby and creates a wonderful bound between mom and child. It's a unique moment, where the body changes to feed someone, it's a blessing from nature! Breastfeeding, especially in the first days, brings some challenges, but the reward is indescribable. Breastmilk, besides having all the proteins, fat, vitamins and water that the baby needs, it's an act of love and affection.
So, today, May 9, I'd like to wish a very special day to all the mothers in the world, and to pray that we will all be the best mother we can for our children that will bring us infinity love and laughs everyday of our lives (and a lot of nights without sleeping as well...)
Happy Mother's Day
Love and light
