Finding our identity, giving and receiving, Mother, mother and daughter, Mother's Day, Mothering
Here I’m making sand castles on the beach with my mother when I was a young child. She always encouraged my dreams.
Having a child defines us for the rest of our lives…. Each mother-child relationship teaches us our limitations and our strengths. It changes us in constantly unfolding ways and entwines us in the unpredictable mystery of another life….
Our mothers are our first teachers, and we teach others the same lessons we learn from them. As a child, when your mother believes in you, you believe in yourself, and when that happens there is nothing you can’t do. As a mother, that is the greatest gift we can give to a child.
