“
It is a great honor to become a mother. Eckhart Tolle says that parenting is the perfect place to reach enlightenment. Queen Afua says that Motherhood will make you over if you let it. Yes. She says it will create spiritual, emotional, mental and physical muscle and teach you how to master your own life. It is all of these things and more. It is the deepest nirvana ache and the pinnacle of ecstasy. Listen, this is true: It is the most magnificent fight. It is scratches and balmy tears and milk. It is beautiful, it is bubbly and sweet and defies gravity. It is music: it is jazz and rock and roll, it is old soul and symphony. It is color and sound and light. Welcome, Sweet Mother Woman. God bless your new journey, always.
