Being a mother is a spiritual path

Playing in the floor with my son my siting practice; 

Responding with kindness to crankiness and toddler tantrums (even some hitting and screaming once in a while) is my Metta meditation;

Being present to potty time as much as for laugher my toughest lesson;

To observe without judging is my daily challenge;

To breathe deeply before anger, irritability and annoyance manifest themselves my life goal...

I have been feeling disconnected from this practice lately... Been feeling overwhelmed and trapped in the intensity of motherhood... I am now a mother for three years and I am learning to accept my enthusiasm together with my limitations. I am not excited about the tasks of motherhood every moment of my day. And that is ok. To acknowledge this is to fully embrace this path...

I will be kind to myself today, I will be loving to my child today, even if my head aches.

I will be free from fear to be missing out in "life", even if the world and "my projects" call my name... I will rest knowing this moment is enough. This moment my son sleeps and I write. Already far from our crying/ screaming disagreement from this morning...

We are safe.

We are loved.

We are enough.

We got this!

With love,
