Moms Speak: Velvet Woodly Gives Advice to Moms
Saturday, January 26, 2008
You are the backbone of the family and your job never ends. Don't feel guilty if you can't be super woman. I never realized just how hard the job of being a mom actually was until I became one. I was never very sympathetic to other moms and thought most made a lot of excuses. I also was hard on my own mom for what I thought she could have done differently. I now know that most do the best they can and know how with what they are given. Everything my mom did was what she thought was best at the time. She is only a human being. I finally realized just how much of a blessing it was to have a mom and one who was there and cared. I am now a woman and mom who is doing the best I can and know how with what I am given. My daughter is a blessing in my life and I thank God for the opportunity to be a blessing in her life. Moms, don't ponder over the mistakes and it is OK that you can't do it all. Just embrace and enjoy the journey of being a mom. - Velvet Woodly
