Mothers : A Celebration
By Alexandra StoddardIn her previous books, Alexandra Stoddard has written movingly about many of life's important benchmarks. Now, in Mothers: A Celebration, she reaches deep into her soul and personal experience for inspiring insights about the blessings and challenges of motherhood: how this life-changing event transforms us, matures us, and pushes us to live more profoundly, wisely, and mindfully than ever before.
"When you become a mother, you have an unparalleled opportunity to learn to trust your heart," she writes. Trusting our hearts means knowing how to nurture ourselves as well as our children: "How can we find ways to nourish our minds and souls as we concentrate on doing the same for our children?" she asks. Stoddard explores this empowering link between mother and child, including stirring memories of her own mother; her experiences as a mother and stepmother; and memories of other powerful women who shaped her life. Finding balance within our many responsibilities, learning the lessons of joy and play and learning to let go are central themes.
"Motherhood transforms us, not just once, but over and over again," Alexandra Stoddard notes. In this penetrating book, she honors the strength and power a mother holds in the family. Filled with Stoddard's noted wisdom, down-to-earth honesty, and sparkling spirit, Mothers: A Celebration is a book every generation of women can treasure.
