Such a beautiful refocus of the hustle bustle of the holidays to a reverent honoring of the Mother. Thank you, dear Asia. 💕

This is utterly beautiful Asia. Thank you. Two years ago today I was also round as a bauble waiting for my second daughter and your words really landed for me as we are almost celebrating her second birthday in a few days time xxxx

Oh! Thank you. I don’t know that I have ever considered the generations of mothers in my family that came before in order for me to be here now. And my own journey to motherhood and then learning to let go of my only child far too early. Your essay has given me an overwhelming sense of peace and connectedness. Again, my thanks.
