Our challenges don’t define us; they show us how strong we are as we overcome
them.

We want to support one another in our choices about how we mother our children.

The more we feel secure in our own unique way of mothering, the less we need to
shame or judge others.

The more we feel secure in our own unique way of mothering, the less someone
else’s choices will make us feel insecure or angry.

By cultivating more grace and understanding for ourselves, we are able to give more
of grace and understanding to others.

Our circumstances as mothers don’t need to be perfect in order for us to experience
joy and peace.

We have extra understanding and compassion for mothers who have unique
circumstances: children with special needs, mothers who are parenting alone,
mothers with chronic illness, mothers navigating marital difficulties and more.

We choose not to allow ourselves to become isolated if we are struggling;
vulnerability is one of our superpowers!

Motherhood wasn’t meant to be a means of perfection, instead we allow ourselves
to be perfected in love.

Our hard days, shortcomings and failures don’t make us a “bad” mother.

We won’t be victim to our circumstances, and we’ll be resourceful in finding a way
to receive support and build community, even if it means getting creative.

We become powerful when we utilize our ability to choose what kind of mother
we’ll be and how we spend our days.

We aren’t defined by the events that happen during our motherhood journeys
because we get to choose the meaning we assign to those events.

to keep showing up and doing our best.

It is possible to find joy in motherhood, even if we don’t enjoy every moment.

We don’t have to “do it all” all at once. We find freedom in knowing our assignment
for our current season.

We don’t bow to fear because there’s always an answer with love.

We don’t mother out of our own strength because love bears all things, believes all
things, hopes all things and endures all things.

We celebrate every mother in her distinct expression of motherhood.
