I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed with me.

I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts.

I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete. I lack nothing in myself.

I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time.

I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today I breathe life. And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment.

I honor them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence.

I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence, walking with the wisdom of the heart.

I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.

I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others.

And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.

I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.

I respect and approve.

I honor the Divinity in me and in you.

We are free.

Self love

How many of us can relate to this?
Our journey is all about Self Love now.
We’ve been so distant from self love, so detached from the deep warm loving ‘self embrace’, and so harsh in our own inner self dialogue, that it’s a big journey to find our way home again … back into our own loving arms.

We’re committed though. Step by step, day by day, awareness by awareness… we are remembering how beautiful ‘Self Love’ feels.

~ Janine Savient

………………………………..

'Today I asked my body what she needed,
Which is a big deal
Considering my journey of
Not Really Asking That Much.

I thought she might need more water.
Or protein.
Or greens.
Or yoga.
Or supplements.
Or movement.

But as I stood in the shower
Reflecting on her stretch marks,
Her roundness where I would like flatness,
Her softness where I would like firmness,
All those conditioned wishes
That form a bundle of
Never-Quite-Right-Ness,

She whispered very gently:

Could you just love me like this?'

He was tall...calm and had a nice laughter...
I admired him from far ...never told him much
A trademark Godfather hat defined him...
A smart man,always in a coat in occasions...
He knew me not...would always ask" Who are you!"
I therefore accustomed myself to just passing..." 😭😭😭
He was the only one left of the three Ongere sired...
Joshua Omolo Ongere,Alfred Ongere...Leonard Awiti Ongere...
Nenda salama Leonard Awiti Ongere...
Receive him now dad...as you received Ofori Nyamnaha...
Go well wuod Dana Yuanita Sweta Nyar Koyoo...
I mourn for my father...
I mourn for my sister Everlyne...
I mourn for Nyoyoo...
I will mourn the only blood brother of my father!
I never knew it will feel this way...
Go well Ba Matin...

This is for all young mothers with small babies, married, unmarried, planned pregnancy, unplanned, whatever the circumstances. Those who feel stuck. Those who are overwhelmed but can't dare say it because they are expected to be supermothers.

First, though everything feels like it will last forever, nothing ever does. That child will grow. No, every single day that passes, he/she grows. You may not notice it, but its happening. And each inch of growth means a step towards independence and taking care of themselves. Not being fully dependent on you. Each passing day means you are a step closer to being able to successfully multitask raising him/her with pursuing your dreams. Those dreams may have posed, but its only for a moment. They are still valid. And guess what, there is no expiry date for going after them.

I know you so long for a helping hand, however helpful it will be. May be just holding the baby for a few minutes you take a nap that will restore your sanity. It hasn't been easy. Sleepless nights. Fatigue. Baby's hour long crying. Feeling helpless.

Perhaps all you need is a little bit financial help. Just a boost. Or just a word of encouragement. So you know someone is noticing your struggle. And is not invalidating it.

Well, that help may come or not come. But what I know is that both can work for your good. It all depends on what you choose. To be bitter or to work towards being better. For yourself. For your child. For your future.

As I close, another reminder. That the child will grow. He/she has got no choice. Whether you will do one or 15 nannies. Do day care. Have to plead with your mum to have him/her as you try to regroup. The baby will grow.

And one day, you will look back and smile. Smile because you did it. You persevered. You never gave up on yourself. Your dreams. You never gave up on your baby.

..from kiarie jeniffer

After having a child, I realized that in the eyes of society mothers can't:

-
● Complain (who told you to have kids?)

●Cry (why are you crying? Did you think it was easy?)

●Getting tired of what? (you do nothing!)

● Sleep (You're lazy!)

●Rest (you'll have plenty of time for that after they grow up)

●Getting pregnant again (are you crazy? How many more kids do you want?)

●Quitting work (how will you support your child?)

●Work (who will take care of the child?)

●Leave them at the nursery (Don’t let others raise them!!)

●Being a housewife (Poor husband, works too hard and his wife stays at home!!)

●Being single (nobody wants a woman with kids)

●Going out for fun (why are you leaving your son with grandma to have fun?)

💔And you know whats worse???
90% of these phrases are spoken by other women.

Let's learn to be more supportive of each other.
