It is a good day to be thirty years old and the mother of two wild things. I have reached a place in my life where I know who I am, what I am capable of and have gathered just enough wisdom to start making better life choices. It is a gift to posses this things and a gift that I wish I could share with my sisters of motherhood. Migraine pain, the fear of migraines and the leftovers from a migraine can give us one of two things. 1) Despondency and a failing in our determination to do what we want or 2) A feeling of great power to conquer and defeat that which threatens to breakdown out life goals. I choose #2. I am not defeated.
I have said for sometime that the gift that pain gives us is compassion. I am thankful for the compassion I have. I am grateful to have faced unbearable misery so that I can stand tall now knowing my own strength. I am amazed at myself for crushing the fear that threatens me every day. With out the suffering I would not be all that I am. I so wish I could share even a piece of the power I feel in my self knowledge with all of you. But, you have the ability to find your own worth, and your journey is your own. It’s gifts are there for you to discover and enjoy. I believe in potential and am certain that we are all born with equal potential for great things. If you feel hopeless or lost, believe in yourself. Start small, wake up and tell yourself ’I am wonderful, no, I am marvelous!’ I would add, because you are, but you do not need my validation. Believe in yourself and great things begin to happen. I hope you live life to the fullest, and to overflowing.
