A mom is many things.
To one mom, this phrase overwhelms. Her many things are an accumulation of the seemingly never-ending daily duties and demands.
To another mom, this phrase encourages. Her many things are an accumulation of the seemingly miraculous things she is able to accomplish in a single day.
In 70 days I’ll be a first time world traveler.
I’ll be in Japan.
Without my husband and five children.
Who has never been away from me for longer than a few hours.
For 10 days–four of them a home-stay with a Japanese family.
If I hadn’t learned to think like more the second mom, my obligation to my many things would have kept me from going to Japan. Instead, I am empowered by my many things to carry out a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because
a mom is many things.
