Sometimes I feel weak. But then I remember that I was awake while being cut open, had a baby taken out of me, and just a few hours later, I had to get up even though it felt like my insides might fall out. I fed that baby with my own body and took care of them around the clock, all while barely able to move and recovering from major surgery. So, I guess Iām not that weak after all.
Sharing One of My Favorite Story as an Adult āŗ -Life Lessons Ahead The Potterās Clay There was a woman who lived in a small home by the rice fields, spending her days caring for her family and tending to her little garden. For years, she wondered if her life amounted to anything, no big career, no awards, no name in the news. One day, she visited an old potter at the edge of the village. She watched him press and knead a lump of clay. Again and again he folded it, pressed hard, even pounded it gently with his fist. It looked messy, broken, and misshapen. Finally she asked: āWhy do you make it suffer so much? It looks like youāre ruining it.ā The potter smiled and said: āIf I donāt press out the air bubbles, it will crack in the fire. If I donāt shape it firmly, it will lose its form. The pressure doesnāt ruin the clay, it reveals what it was always meant to be.ā He then placed the soft, unimpressive pot into the hottest part of the kiln. Days later, when he pulled it out, it glowed smooth and strong, painted with colours no one could have guessed were there before. āYou see,ā he told her, āthe days when you feel pressed, stretched, or invisible? Those are not wasted days. You are being shaped. The work you do in quiet, loving, waiting, fixing, giving holds everything together. What looks like ordinary is actually extraordinary, because it is built to last.ā Lesson of the Story: We are not made in the easy moments. We are made in the ones we choose to keep going through.
Just a little update from this stay-at-home momās corner. While my days are still filled with meals to prepare, little hands to hold, and a home to keep running, Iāve decided to add something new to my routine: taking QuickBooks Accountant Certification Training. It hasnāt been easy, squeezing in study time during nap hours, after bedtime, or whenever thereās a quiet moment. There are days when I feel tired, distracted, or wonder if I can really do this. But then I remind myself, I am not just building a career skill, I am showing my kid that itās never too late to learn, grow, and chase new dreams even while being a mom. This training is more than just a certificate. Itās my way of opening new doors, gaining confidence, and preparing for more possibilities ahead. Itās proof that motherhood doesnāt mean the end of my own growth, itās just a new chapter where I get to build both my family and myself, one step at a time. To all fellow moms thinking of learning something new. It will feel slow, it will feel hard, but every small effort counts. We can do this, one lesson, one day, one goal at a time šŖ #MomLife #ContinuousLearning #EmpoweredMom #ProgressNotPerfection

Today felt long, messy, and exhausting. But tonight I realize: Every meal, every hug, every quiet moment is stitching together the childhood and memories my children will carry forever. I am tired, but I am also grateful. This is my purpose. #MotherhoodJourney #PurposeOverPay #BlessedMom #EnoughAsIam
