Love letter to my daughter

There hasn't been anything more rewarding than being your mother. Watching you outgrow my mistakes and standing in your truth has been beautiful.

My dear Aria,

I pray my life exhibits love in its purest form

I pray my love heals you

I pray that my smile is infectious and causes warmth and security

I pray that my stories of being bound helps you to break free

I pray that the memories we share will be a reason to survive a dark moment

I pray my generosity of love will cause you to share love with others

I pray my harvest makes yours bountiful

I pray my essence enhances the aroma of your own

I pray I am prepared when you need me

I pray that as I rise, that you rise and experience wholeness as you ascend

I pray that my “hardness” shows you that beauty can come from ashes

I pray my passion fuels your fire to pursue your own

I pray that my very being makes you confident in yourself

I pray that you always know that I am refuge, that I am safe, that I am love

I pray that you remember that I am always mama
