Mama’s~Graduation is not the end, it’s the beg

Mama’s~Graduation is not the end, it’s the beginning of a new chapter in your child’s life. As a mother, it’s okay to feel bittersweet about this milestone, but take comfort in knowing that you have prepared them well for the journey ahead. Trust in their abilities and have faith that God will guide them every step of the way. 🤍

Trusting your child’s journey can be hard, especially letting go! 🤍

As parents it can be difficult to watch your children grow and take on new challenges. It is important to remember that their journey is their own, and you must trust that they are equipped to handle whatever comes their way.

You can take comfort in knowing that God is always watching over them, and you are here to support them every step of the way.

Letting go can be tough, but it is a necessary part of parenting. Don’t mistake your journey for their journey nor let your fears of the unknown overwhelm the joy of all you have accomplished together.

Sisters, we feel this more than ever right now and we are praying for the moments when the sadness of letting go envelops you as well as the happiness you feel when you see the beauty in the child you have raised. Well done!

"Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it

"Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self."--Mother Teresa

I recall the ache of life transitions, dropping children off to college for the first time, our son standing at the altar readily awaiting his bride, can we name these transitions as a beautiful ache?

I wish I could view transitions as an optimist. If only I could imagine change, “as a caterpillar to a butterfly” or “we’re turning over a new leaf” (new things are coming). I find these funny. Transition for me is like operating in calm water which suddenly turns rapid. My heart wildly stings with emotion.

There’s nothing we want more than to aid our children as they bravely take the next right step. This fills us with joy. Yet, it haunts us with an unrelenting ache like tiny shards of glass in your chest.

Mother Teresa states it clearly, “we must empty ourselves of self.” The umbilical cord which was severed at birth lingers in a mother for a lifetime…she slowly empties or hollows her being of self until the end of time. A beautiful ache or possibly a beautiful emptying that is taking place.

Christ left the tomb open, barren and empty to engulf us with new life. When we release our grip of what was and say yes to what’s to come we realize we haven’t lost but only gained.

Mysteriously, as we continue to release the very life that God endowed as pure gift, the very heartbeat of our bodies for nine months, our lives are enriched and enhanced enormously.

Can we trust the plan? This is God's plan to let go and release our gifts into the world.

This is not my year for releasing. Two of my DPW sisters are graduating their first born children and sending them forth into the world. I’m praying for their tender hearts as they guide them on new adventures. How do you purposefully walk the road of transition?

The beautiful ache is real. Love often hurts, yet, in the slow opening of the tight clenched hand (my desire to keep everything the same), in the releasing we encounter a better plan, God's plan. Don’t be afraid to feel all the emotions of sadness and joy simultaneously. It’s okay to embrace it all. I’m praying for you.

Some see a weed and some see a wish.

Children have a way of finding beauty in the simplest things, like the humble dandelion. Their bright yellow petals and fluffy white seeds are a source of wonder and joy. Let's appreciate the beauty of these little flowers and the joy they bring to children's lives.

Watching children like my granddaughter blow the seeds of a dandelion into the wind is a beautiful sight. As they spread the seeds, they are also spreading hope and positivity. It's a reminder that even the smallest actions can have a big impact. Let's take inspiration from our children and spread hope wherever we go. 🤍

Growing older doesn't mean that life is over. In fact, the best is yet to come! With age comes wisdom, experience, and a deeper appreciation for the little things in life. So embrace your age and look forward to all the amazing things that are still to come. If you haven’t felt yourself lately be reminded that seasons pass.

Go to the mirror, look in it, and don’t dwell on all you dislike, but look Sister at the beautiful woman you are inside and out and be proud of all you have overcome. We are finding the purpose in our imperfections together and working to love who God created you to be. Lean into this and the best is yet to come! 🤍

"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have

"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been." - Mark Twain

Aging is a natural process that we all go through. It is a journey that comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. While you may dread the thought of getting older, as sisters we can acknowledge the challenges, embrace it and age gracefully together.

Aging gracefully means accepting the changes that come with age and finding ways to maintain a healthy and joy-filled lifestyle. These are tips we all have heard and know, but sometimes we need the reminder to not overthink the small things we can do daily that helps us to look and feel good in the age and stage of life we are in.

Don’t underestimate all you have overcome and the wisdom you gave gained along the way! 🤍

Here are some tips on how to age gracefully:

1. Stay active: Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good health and mobility as you age. Strength train as you age is important for mobility and balance.

2. Eat a healthy diet: A balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein.

3. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential for maintaining good health and preventing dehydration.

4. Get enough sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for maintaining good health and preventing a range of health problems, including depression, anxiety, and chronic diseases.

5. Practice stress management: Chronic stress can have a negative impact on your health and well-being. Finding ways to manage stress, such as self-pampering practices, prayer, or deep breathing, can help.

6. Stay connected: Maintaining social connections is essential for maintaining good mental health and well-being as you age.

7. Embrace your age: Aging is a natural process, and there is no need to be ashamed of it. Embrace your age and find ways to celebrate the wisdom and experience that come with it.

Potholes are like challenges in your life. They may slow you down, but they also make you stronger. Potholes may feel like setbacks in life, but they don't have to stop you from reaching your destination.

Potholes are the bumps in the road that make you appreciate the smooth stretches even more and are a reminder that even the most well-traveled roads can have unexpected obstacles.

If your path feels full of potholes remember that you are not alone. We all have potholes in our life and will overcome them together.

What does it mean to console beautifully?

As we consider the wonder, beauty, and enticement of May, I also must reflect on the reality of loss.

May comes with new life, Mothers Day, and yearnings of the heart.

What about those who don’t have a mother because of death or estrangement? What about mothers (parents) who have lost a child?

I've had four miscarriages. It’s heartbreaking. Innocently, there were words spoken that crushed me like cars in a dump. Most people long to show some sign of condolence but often people aren’t sure how.

Some people assume talking eases the pain but oftentimes what’s spoken isn’t what’s needed. Others assume shushed silence is what’s best, yet it’s clear that hurting people must know others care during tough times.

Contemplating thoughtful words is important. Comments such as, I wonder why that happened? Or I wonder what went wrong? I guess it was just meant to be. Even things like he/she is in heaven now made me want to crawl into a deep hole. Sadly, these comments framed an idea in my head that wasn’t healthy. Was it my fault? Did I do something wrong?

We can easily console with simple or no words at all. A deep hug, a beautiful embrace, a meal or I’m praying for you were healing gestures for me. Often these actions speak much louder than words ever could.

What does a grieving person need? I don’t believe it is our job to figure this out. We aren’t called to answers rather presence. Let’s show up, let others know we love them. It might be the sweetest, non-spoken, simple gestures that matter the most.

If you are struggling with hardship, know that I am praying for you. What ways do you show up for those who are struggling? I’d love to hear how you console beautifully.

There is a miracle contained in every seed, whethe

There is a miracle contained in every seed, whether it begins in a womb, in the ground, or those planted in our hearts. We’re surrounded by little resurrections and miracles everywhere. Do you see them?

Even the dandelion seeds blow from their stems up to five miles away and create new growth. Some call them weeds. We call them little miracles—strong, valiant, and determined to leave a legacy, kind of like us!

When God cultivates the environment for a seed to activate, grow, and thrive we can perceive and acknowledge Him as the source working to bring the miracle to fruition. This occurs in our own lives. Not only with the obvious realities seen with the naked eye, like fruit picked from the vine; but the unseen realities we experience when we believe, like faith.

I can’t think of better nourishment with adequate light and daily water, than basking in the light Source and soaking in the life Source of God’s presence.

There is a miracle in every seed waiting to grow. How will you cultivate that seed of faith?

“Be still (cease from striving) and know (by experience) that I am God (our Source of life).” Psalm 46:10
