Mumma Monday: Moments of Awe and Gratitude

Liz and Olivia just after her birth.

Today marks the second anniversary of the most amazing and happiest moment of my life so far. My greatest teacher, my little yogini, turned two today! I had no idea at 7:23pm on April 12, 2008, what wonder was about to arrive at 7:24pm. So much pure, uninhibited love and joy squeezed into a single moment! Little did I know what a fabulously unpredictable and blissful journey I was beginning!!

What would happen if we saw every moment to come, as holding the potential for pure, uninhibited love and joy? They do...

But for now I sit here in complete awe and gratitude that this beautiful, perfect soul chose to come into this world through me without searching for meaning in it...just awe and so much gratitude. I cherish every giggle, every hug, every lesson, every tear, every conversation, every snuggle, every dance...every moment, that she shares with me.
