May 2007 find you feeling at home in your body with all its changes and the marks of its experiences.
May you continue to get to know your babies as people, shaping into individuals you both know and find mysterious.
May you continue to get to know yourself as a mother, shaping into someone who is both her old self and someone completely new.
May you find the time to care for yourself, for your own health and your own goals while you manage the complete responsibility of dependency.
May you sleep with dreams that refresh and calm you for the next day.
May you use your new power of mother love to reach out to the world and change it for the better.
May you have the confidence to speak your mind, act on your convictions and declare your intentions for your life and the planet your children will inherit.
May you be spared heartbreak and suffering in your heart, home and family.
May you discover a sense of newness in each moment in the lives of your children and the adventure of parenting.
Thank you for the beautiful warm wishes. I hope you have a wonderful 2007! BTW, I love those Anne Geddes photos. She’s a genius!

Nice sentiments.

How much nicer to read special wishes for others rather than the regular self-focused New Years resolutions. Thanks!
