A mother’s strength is divinely gifted. You carry the ability to give life and you are a Queen in your own right. You are doing an amazing job, I know you get tired in ways no one may understand, but it’s worth it and definitely the most rewarding job you’ll have. Cherish every moment because they grow so fast. You are an amazing mother and your child thanks you for all the love and sacrifice you make. Now, hold your head high and walk in your power. Don’t you dare go doubting yourself, you can do this!

This is my first mother’s day and I’m overwhelmed with joy and happiness. It’s truly a blessing and I’m grateful. I’ve had my challenges that may of been out of my control, so from one mother to another, you are stronger than you think! Trust your intuition because it will never be wrong, you know your child better than anyone. Ask for a helping hand if you need it.. believe in yourself because I believe in you.

Happy mother’s day Queen.
