Mothering.
It can be the hardest and most soul-devastating time we can encounter.
It can also bring joy that surpasses all we've ever experienced.
Establishing bonds with other mothers can be one rich source of sustenance and delight, wisdom and insight.
Look for opportunities to connect and forge bonds with other mothers whenever possible. Lifelong friends might be standing beneath the swings at Kinder, cutting fruit in Kindy, or passing by us as we drop our babes at Pre-School.
Value other mums highly. They can become the greatest treasure in our hearts.
Mothering really is better done in a team. Build community around us whenever we can.
It's too much to do alone.
