The Strange House of Motherhood

When I became a parent, I began a life-changing journey into uncharted territory. Caring for a newborn was like walking into a strange house blindfolded. There were no blueprints to consult, no floor plan to get my bearings. Everywhere I turned, there were missing stairs and secret spaces that led to unexpected emotions and tears. With my history of psychological and physical health issues, the foundation of the structure felt shaky, the ground uneven.

I'm honoured to share my latest essay, "The Strange House of Motherhood," which is part of an amazing new anthology called "A Mother Knows.” Please check it out if you have a moment, and let me know if you can relate. I hope it helps someone know they're not alone.

It is the wonderful sight of the adoration for a mother that show in this letter. Mother is the delightful blessing that God give us and without mother, our homes are nothing and only a bit of lost island. I have no words to portray the enormity of the mother however need to thank you for sharing this post which makes me enthusiastic.
