Dear Friend,

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working through the notion that I. AM. LOVE. And I would like to share thoughts about this subject with you today.

Say it aloud with me, “I. AM. LOVE.”

– Karter’s Mom

You. Are. Love. WE are the embodiment of love for our children. We are the center of their joy, laughter, sorrows, fun, good/bad times, learning and peace. We were created to love them. We were created to shepherd them. We were created to call forth all of the talents that are within them.

By being a tangible expression of LOVE to them, we are loving ourselves. And until we recognize ourselves as our kids primary source of LOVE, we may never truly see ourselves as the conduit which all else will flow through us and to our children. If we clog our channels with hate, drama, doubt, fear, selfishness, resentment and other negativity energy, we might not get the gifts of LOVING and being LOVED in return.

“You are love, loving and loved.”

– Karter’s Mom

We, as Mamas, ultimately determine the capacity of love our children can grow into as they mature. Mamas intrinsically set standards for love. Love is attached to acceptance and belonging. Acceptance and belonging are hinged on self-worth; which is where we determine our value in life.

Mamas, I see your efforts and I feel your pain as you try to pour from a depleted reserve. And if no-one has told you this today, then please let me be the first to say, “I love you! You’re doing an amazing job!” You are love, loving and loved.

“Pause, refresh and refill your cup with love; then pour even more love into yourself and your children. You deserve it! Y’all are worth it!”
