 Greetings!I' m so loving my little boy! Matt turned two a few months ago and he is talking a lot. I delight in being able to communicate with him - I'm a coach & coaches are all about communication! So, being able to connect with Matt in this new way rocks my world. Connecting and communicating is the essence of motherhood for me right now. This week's newsletter is about the Essence of Motherhood. Scroll down to Your Coaching Moment to find what it is for you. All the best from your coach, Me & Matt sharing a moment this weekend. :) |

The Essence of Motherhood essence definition: the basic, real, and invariable nature of a thing or its significant individual feature(s) What is the essence of motherhood for you? What is the basic nature of motherhood for YOU? What is most significant to you – what stands out about motherhood at this age and stage? Here is what I heard on this question from polling some of our mommas: The essence of motherhood is … "Kissing my babies when they are sleeping and feeling complete joy. And it doesn't matter that they are now 12, 10 and 7. The feeling is the same as when they were 5, 3 and 1." "It completes me. It fills me up over and over again. It's bliss and a lot of hard work. It makes me so human." "Embracing what is, not what should be." "Love. I guess that’s a cliché, but love is really it for me. I think if you come from a place of love, no matter how hard this all is, it will be okay." "Putting someone else’s needs in front of myself." "It's challenge. The duality of wanting to be close & wanting to separate. It’s like a channel that draws me deep into the heart of life, into my true nature." "When he hands me his beloved teddy bear. He won't let anyone else touch it." "A new and previously unknown kind of love, like the whole universe has shifted, and our little baby girl is the center." (This from a brand new mom 5 days after the birth of her little girl) So, why ask the question? Because it gives you a chance to listen to who you are – what you have to say – what you have to offer. I don’t think we take enough time to connect and express the depth of this mothering thing. It’s SO easy to be caught up in the doing of motherhood and forget to stop and enjoy what it is all about ... for YOU. I welcome what you have to say! COACH YOURSELF: Answer the question: "What is the essence of motherhood for me?" It might be a word or a feeling or an image or even a scene or situation that stands out for you. Take a moment to breathe and just ponder. Enjoy what you find! Email me at amy@empoweredmotherhood.com and share your essence! And click here to see our newsletter archive. |
