Motherhood is hard.

And motherhood is beautiful.

Return to the joy.

The joy in your baby's sweet,

Contented smile.

Their sleepy eyes gently fluttering into soft slumber.

Motherhood is hard.

And motherhood is beautiful.

In those moments when they scream at you for taking care of them.

When they seem to make your job impossible.

Stand firm in those moments of challenge.

Knowing your worth.

Believing in your abilities.

Believing in your goodness.

You are doing your best with what you have been given.

You are growing and learning right alongside them.

Believe in that and know that you can be the calm in their storm.

Motherhood is hard.

And motherhood is beautiful.

Hard does not equal bad.

Hard can be good.

Hard is where things grow.

Shoots rising up from ashes.

Fire breaking open shells to reveal the seeds of new life.

Walk through that fire.

Unconsumed.

Holding fast to the knowledge of your inner goodness.
