Being Mom is not something one chooses to do, complete or achieve – it is simply whoyoubecome.It’swhatyoumorphintoonce you embark on this adventure withthe‘LittlePeople’.
BeingMomtakesallofwhoyoueverwere,are today or ever hope to be. It takes your passions,interests,hobbies,yourflaresandflaws,yourirritationsandgiftsandsquishesthem all together – a bit like the red and blue play dough you tried so hard to keep separated. Being Mom creates someone new, as unique and beautiful as thatmusheduppurplenowoozingwithdelightbetweenyourtoddlersfingers. Being Mom is something squished together by little armswrappedaround yourneck,sticky fingers wiped on your pants, waxcrayon flowers placed on your officewall, tear stained report cards and smellyboots left in your hallway. Being Momis not something we choose to become
Being Momor can make ourselves be. It’s just whathappenswhenaMotherisborn.Whenanindescribablecordoflovecollideswiththeheartofalittlepersonandtheyareforeverbound. Whatnoonetellsyouisthatthisisaonewayticket.OnceyourhearthasbeenopenedtoalittlepersonwhocallsyouMom,thereisno return.
That call of “Mom” will draw your heartstrings into eternity. It is one of the most vulnerable, tender places to allow one toventure, it changes you forever and in turn you–ohMom-havetheopportunitywithinyourhometochangetheworld–bysimplybeing Mom.
