PEACE IN CHOICE

Unlimited Energy for Moms? Say Yes! By Blanca Vergara

The greatest lessons come from moments of profound darkness. I have been blessed to have been inspired by very courageous people, very courageous women, very courageous mothers. I have learned a lot from them. And today I would like to honor one powerful story on self-love, so that its blessings go further. She moved from the warm tropics to the cold north of Europe. She did not have friends in the city and to make new ones was very challenging as she did not speak the local language. She became a mother for the second time. Pajama Days - wearing her pajamas from morning to evening - were plentiful. All her family was affected by her blues, especially her youngest daughter. The daughter just stopped eating. It was so serious her food dejection that she needed to be admitted into an institution to support her healing.

The woman’s eldest son did not understand what was going on. Her husband was very concerned for her. She touched rock bottom. We met in this profound darkness. With courage and curiosity, she changed her entire life in one second. In those shadows, she realized that every moment of life she had two choices: -

Surrender to a downward spiral of negativity.

-

Have the courage to choose for herself – choose from love.
