Smart enough to make these millions Strong enough to bear the children Then get back to business

A mother’s existence in this world is a web of strength and fragility.  A mother is made to nurture, build and lead. She raises children in preparation to let go. She instills a love that endures through a lifespan.

My mother said something profound to me the other day: ‘You can always talk to me. I am always here to listen.’ These are eloquent words for a mother to say. They are diamond words.  In the everyday business of life, where the pushes and pulls of our time and energy are constant, we forget that the light within the soul is kindled by the warmth of a mother’s love.  Her message is one of true peace and healing.  She can give you peace in an instant.

I am reminded that even as a married woman, I still need to hear my mother’s voice. I am thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones. Let your voice shine on the hearts of others.

I know that you said to me "This is how exactly it should feel when it's meant to be" Time is wasting so why wait for eventually?

The truth is, life is very different now than it used to be. In a little over a year, this guy I knew a lifetime ago, walked into my life. Then I flew half way across the country so see him for the first time in two years. We already knew we’d spend the rest of our lives together. We met each others’ families. He proposed to me at the place we first met. I made plans to move to Halifax and I quit my job. We then realized we belonged in Vancouver and then given a great opportunity to stay here. We planned a wedding and now we are married.

My head spins.

The past makes even more sense now. I am glad I figured it out. Thank you, faith. I learned the hard things I had to learn about myself in order to be worthy of the kind of life partner I wanted. I have a greater understanding of what love means to me. We watch movies, read books, and listen to songs about it. We might even look it up on Wiki. But what is our personal definition of love? What does love mean to you? What am I willing to do/not do for the sake of love? What will I do today for love, even if I feel unloved? What will I do today, for the one that I will be with forever, but have not met? How is the love I give to others connected to the love I give myself? These are questions I have asked myself once I was ready to bring love back into my life. However, these questions we have to keep asking ourselves. It’s the only way to keep love alive.

Five years ago today, I met my future husband. Little did I know then what obstacles would lay before me and the bright future that would be waiting on the other side. Today, I say thank you to all who have supported me in love and honesty.

Five years ago at this time, I was driving into downtown Vancouver to the Boathouse. When I walked into that restaurant and sat down beside a guy named Daman Beatty, little did I know how my life would change.

Five years later, is the beginning of something new.
