This week, some thoughts on motherhood, its challenges and its joys.
“You have to fall with the direct intention to rise.”-Joanne De Simone
Navigating the intricate journey of parenting is challenging in itself, but when faced with the added complexity of raising children with special needs, the path becomes even more difficult. And Joanne De Simone faced this path with not one, but two children.
Through her parenting, Joanne found herself recalling her days as a dancer. There was wisdom in dance, and Simone found many life lessons that helped her navigate the road ahead of her.
Sports and arts can provide metaphors and inspiration for our journeys. Where do metaphors from your past help guide your future?
“Determination is number one.” -Carolyn Jensen
Carolyn was a Thunderbird pilot which meant balancing her military commitments with raising her son.
She authored a children’s book, “Thunder Mouse,”inspired by her experiences and her deep bond with her son. The book is a touching tribute to military families and the challenges they face.
How do you find balance between your role as a mother and your dreams as a person?
“Life is not happening to you. Life is to be experienced by you.” -Cynthia Girman
Cindy Girman has a doctorate in biostatistics and epidemiology. In short, she’s a scientist. She’s analytical. But what happened challenged her mind and her soul.
Cindy lost her 22-year-old son, Alec, to drugs. But what emerged from this experience was a transformative experience in spiritual connection that forever changed her world.
Cindy talks about the profound lessons she learned from Alec, both in life and in death. Her connection with Alec led to a book “A Voice From Heaven: From Earthly Struggles to Thriving in the Afterlife.”
Our time with our children can teach us so much! How have your children added to your own life wisdom? What have they taught you about yourself?
Happy Mother’s Day!
