“Pay attention and stay centered. You carry the mantle of "Mother", the eternal principle of balance and stability. When your children's energy is scattered, be grounded. When your children throw tantrums, be still. Know what you stand for. Be firm and consistent to teach your children about boundaries. Thus you will root them in health and release their souls to limitlessness.” The Tao of Motherhood

“Self-love is the root from which all else grows.” Michiko J. Rolek

Being a zen momma is about loving the me in momME. Raising ourselves so we can in turn raise our children.

“You have to find a mother inside yourself. We all do. Even if we already have a mother, we still have to find this part of ourselves inside.”― Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees
