she and me
i am stepping into this new me who is a mother.
me.
a mother.
i am wrapping my brain around this path that is my path.
(this path i wasn't sure i would ever walk.)
this path i will forever walk with her.
i am seeking a new rhythm for this life as we find our way.
(and, i must admit, i love this photo so much i can feel my heart expanding each time i look at it.)

Lovely; a modern Madonna and Child portrait worthy of Raphael, and all of the future wrapped up in seven sentences.

ps. isn't it an amazing path to be on?!?!?
The best days are the ones where you realize, no matter how hard or crazy this path seems to be, you realize that it is an honor and a privilege to be your child's mom.
I rarely comment in the blog world, but I stumbled upon your blog (because i was reading the Artful Blogging magazine and found your website) anyway.... that post just gave me goosebumps. Good luck in motherhood. It's a wild ride but totally worth it.
I love the way that, together, you cast a long shadow.
This is your strength.

~ Yes ~ One thing I learned the first year of living with my baby girl is this: it takes time to absorb the feeling and the truth which is: i am a mother. For some reason, I was under the impression that this knowledge / feeling would click - instantaneously. Nope. It took time for that too.
This photo is beautiful. I hope that you print it out and put it somewhere close. You + her. The journey will be a beautiful one.
I love that you are able to stop and embrace this. You take the time out to think about it and soak it in. You are one special mother.
i love this photo liz! mama and baby.....you are a wonderful mama! love you!
I love this too!!!
Magnificent! Enjoy your journey.
Peace!
i still say these words to myself too.
love this photo!
My son is now two and at least once a day I look at him and think, "he's my SON". And I wonder when it all happened. ; )
Can I come visit very soon,
the mother?
the baby?
I remember this time of my motherhood. It was weird, revealing, exhausting, scary.
I look and talk to my 19-year-old son now and think, where did that time go?
But WE Talk and hug and love.
So in many ways, our time together is still present and means something to me and him
;)
I want to drive down for a quick visit.
