Despite living in a time of crisis that leaves us struggling with overwhelming anxiety about the future – let’s take some time off and celebrate our presence. Life is truly awe-inspiring. We get to experience a wide range of emotions, we have the opportunity to acquire anything we want out of life, and we’re permitted to make errors while still having the ability to develop and grow.
We’re brought into this world by our beautiful mothers that go through what seems like an unimaginable delivery. Whether you’ve been through the child-bearing process or not, you’re aware of how overwhelming and captivating it can be.
