When she looks in the mirror at the end of the day she still sees the chubby girl she used to be. Even when people tell her she is beautiful, she has a hard time believing what they are saying. She has a drive to create success in herself and help others but at times she feels she has set the bar too high thus creating unattainable goals for her children. She struggles with her patience. She feels this impacts her children because it's difficult to adjust to their pace at times. As a single mom, she feels like it's not an option to allow herself to fall apart because there are too many who depend on her. One comment she made that I absolutley love was, "If I wasn't this way with all my strengths and weaknesses, I would be another way with a different set of strengths and weaknesses, because there is no such thing as perfect". "Once we see that everyone has their own set of strengths and weaknesses, its easier to own who you are".Through theirs...

When I asked these girls what they love about their mama, they shyly giggled and looked at each other to see who was going to say something first. They told me she is pretty and smells sooo good! They love when they all go for walks, followed by snuggles at bedtime and stories from their favourite books. They love her cooking and when she plays the piano and sings for them. They think she is funny and love to hear her laugh. They also mentioned how thankful they are because she takes them to all their activities and they have a lot of fun together.
