When we approach motherhood as a "job,"
we put ourselves at the service of our children.

If approached as a spiritual practice, we see it as a journey of mutual
benefit. It becomes an adventure to be embarked upon with great
anticipation and expectation, a pilgrimage of the soul.

We do not embark on great journeys expecting all to go smoothly.
Schedules will not always be kept, not all roads will be easily traveled,
but there will be learning in every step and joy in unexpected places.

We emerge transformed.
This is (wholly) holy sacred practice.
