“Shine Bright

Take it from me
This life is amazing
You are the one with power
To choose what you desire
Please make the right choice
Do not just make noise
Have a voice
Which people can listen to
Be that special person
Who is known for solutions
And not for causing trouble
You have what it takes
To turn this world around
Let go of any self-doubt
Get out of the mud
Shake off the dust
Work hard, my child
Make sure you shine bright”

“It Can Be Done
An inspirational poem from a loving Mother to her child

It can be done!
Yes, we have to believe it
We have seen God do miracles for others
And we know He has power
To turn the situation around

It can be done!
It does not matter what happened in the past
It may seem impossible
But highly possible
To the Lord of all possibilities

It can be done!
Even if you have failed before
You can still try once more
Work until you are sure
Of a better outcome

It can be done!
As long as you do it with passion
Just go on your knees and say a prayer
Make sure you prosper
Because it can be done!”
― Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman

“Worth More Than A Precious Jewel

What a brilliant woman!
She thinks beyond the now
Yet, she lives in the present
Will not let her past define her
Never scared to face the future
She is very influential
And knows the power of self-love
Takes pride in her life
Such a humble Soul
She lets nothing bring her down
Even after a fall, she stands back up
Where there seems to be no way
Her resilience keeps the enemy at bay
The universe celebrates her bravery
As she walks from victory to victory
A special human with a passion for humanity
She dispels any myth of inferiority
Sees herself as a priority
Recognizes her own reality
She does what she can do best
Always has it covered by prayer
A sister, a friend, a Mother
A daughter, a neighbour, or a leader
Who remains a great treasure!
Because she is worth more than a precious jewel”
― Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman

― Xóchitl González, Olga Dies Dreaming

full of parents
my son scanned the room
looking for me.
When he saw me his

He wasn’t looking for
the perfect parent.
He was looking for his mom.
Don’t ever forget the power
of simply being their mom.”
― Rachel Marie Martin

“That afternoon when I forgot about my kids, I was jolted into realizing how much of my sense of self and even my sense of worth was bonded to my writing. That’s why I could so easily become engrossed in my work, even forgetting I had children while I joyously ruminated over word choices: Should it be dismayed or distraught? How about perturbed? Would discomposed sound too Victorian? Time really flies when luxuriating over the 1,300-plus pages of a Roget’s Thesaurus.”
― Judy Gruen, Bylines and Blessings: Overcoming Obstacles, Striving for Excellence, and Redefining Success

“Her Hands

My Mama was my first home
Her womb
My homeland

Her smile was the first sun I ever saw
The place, I was most safe
Her hands

“My Philosophy as I wish my beautiful daughter a Very Happy Birthday, I hope your day is as beautiful as you are.
The magical miracles of Life are all about tap dancing on the pages of your own story book.
Within each one of our story books are chapters of the mystery and adventures of all the stages of our life. Well on May of 1997, not only did a new chapter begin in my story book. A sequel was created. I was blessed with the gift of motherhood and from that moment on it was not just about my story anymore. It was about hers. It was about my story branching off into hers. It was all about giving her the love and tools to create a healthy foundation for her storybook. Well, I pray every day that I did a great job giving her all the love and tools to dance as she embraces all the mysteries and adventures life throws at her. Here's to 100 ♾️more and beyond Happy Birthday my daughter !!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I was graced with this remarkable truth: “Knowing who you are in Jesus Christ makes it easier to function in this world.” I soon realized I didn't know who I was in Jesus
Christ. Not only did I not know my identity in Jesus Christ, but I also realized that I didn't know my Saviour enough to know myself. It's like, how can I know who I am if I don't
know who He is?”

That is, I suspect, the best that any mother can do.”

“It was this love that allowed me to push through the unyielding exhaustion each day, hour after hour–picking up around the house, packing organic lunches, stumbling through meltdowns and backtalk. The endless appointments, and endless worrying, and cooking, and cleaning, and baths, and battles–over, and over, and over.”
― M.E. Evans, House of Secrets
