“Bringing my babies into this world and loving them, has given me the wings to fly to my highest potential.”
Motherhood is indeed a sacred journey. Looking into my babies' eyes for the first time, were the most significant and life changing experiences I have had thus far. Here were these two little souls that had the power to reshape my entire existence. I was entrusted with the task of guiding their lives and I knew that the only way to honor them for choosing me to be their Mother, was to become a living example of greatness for them. In what seemed like a matter of moments and on two seperate occasions, my daughter and son became the absolute center of my universe. From the time they were born to present, everything I do is an extension of my greatest and most fulfilling role as their Mother.
As a new mother, there is a transition from taking care of self to being fully responsible for another young life. In adjusting to this new reality, it is easy to forget that you have dreams and aspirations that must live on as well. In my experience, giving birth to my babies, ignited a fire that had always been inside of me. I was awakened and felt alive in a whole new way. I had been on a conscious spiritual path for years and it all culminated to bring me to this place of surrender. I was ready to be my highest self and teach my babies how to become the same. I knew it would be the most challenging, seemingly impossible but, beautiful struggle of my life; the hardest thing that I would ever have to do.
I realized that I had to finally live my life authentically, as I had always envisioned. I had been a student of yoga, meditation, health, and wellness for several years. I came to adulthood in a community that was primarily focused on African culture and history, politics that affect Black people worldwide, and progressive community-building. Through these experiences and in my process of self-discovery, I learned that my greatest challenge was the discipline to live what I had learned and embraced as my desired way of life. I knew that I had to get out of my own way, in order to move forward. With two reflections looking back at me, I realized had no choice.
I am now learning to balance mothering two babies, writing projects, working on myself, daily life responsibilities, and seeking spiritual fulfillment. I wanted to use this blog as a pathway to share my journey, and inspire other Mothers to live their best lives, despite the stress of it all. The greatest lesson I have learned thus far, is that becoming a mother is a golden opportunity to tap into an innate power that can lead to boundless possibilities. It is a pathway to self-awakening, oneness, and personal freedom.
So, take this journey with me, open your heart, and embrace the endless power of you, the divine Mother.
It's exciting for me to imagine the journey you are now on and what it will look like as you guide you little family of superstars, including yourself of course, to their rightful place in the stars. I can't help but thinking right now of your brilliant destiny. It's your time right now to step fully into it and write your name in the heavens. We're all sitting here on the edge of our seats listening as the story begins.
