It is a feeling that is felt deep
down of our hearts
It is the purest form of love,
respect
It is an honour, an emotional
bond
Difficult to define a mother?

Mother’s Love for child: no bond so strong in the entire world
Patience
Affection
Unconditional & selfless
It knows no law, no pity
No love so insttantaneous &
forgiving

What is motherhood ?
A divine role, a gift from God,
Highest, holiest selfless service
Both a daunting responsibility
& a glorious opportunity
An indescribable journey
where the umbilical cord can
never be cut!

When you first missed your period, test was positive for
pregnancy
When you saw your baby’s heart beat on ultrasound
When you first felt nausea
When you first felt the kick
When you first held the baby in your hand, first touch & feel
When you first breastfed him
When you saw the first smile
INDESCRIBABLE FEELINGS...

mommy moments. What’s one of your
favorites?

My Give to You All in your journey as a mother………..
As you rise, you need to ask for help. Ask
people to help watch your kids. These are
family goals…not just mommy goals. Don’t
isolate your business from your family.
Bring in your spouse and your kids into
your business.
