MOTHERHOOD

"About every true mother there is a sancity of martyrdom-
and when she is no more in the body, her children see her with
the ring of light around her head."

Godey's Lady's Book, 1867

THE ART OF DOMESTIC BLISS

.....in a time lacking in certainty and filled with anguish and despair, no woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the world, through her work, a portion of it's lost heart. -Louise Bogan
“And there are my children!
My darling, precious children!
For their sakes I am continually constrained
to seek after an amended, a sanctified life;
what I want them to become
I must become myself”.

~ Elizabeth Prentiss, Stepping Heavenward

Day 1 Master Cleanse

Master Cleanse Day 1

This morning I started with the Salt Water Flush. I did it about 11:00 and followed that with my first cup of lemonade mixture. I doing fine so far...no hunger pains...I'm excited to see how far I can go this time. My goal is 7 to 10 days. I did it for 14 about a year and half ago and I felt terrific. I chose today to start my cleanse because it was the due date for my baby I lost last August. I feel cleansing is a good way to process sorrow and focus on a positive future.

During the cleanse it's a good idea to do a lot of comforting things for yourself. Bathing is agreat way to relax and detox the body. As you do the cleanse many toxins will exit your body through your skin ...so soaking in an herbal or Epsom salt bath is a great idea. Also body brushing is a good way to exfoliate and further eliminate toxins.





















Reflexology is another thing you can try to help stimulate and heal the body. You can practice doing it on yourself...just find a guide on the internet. I also advise getting massages during a cleanse, just be sure and drink lots of water to continue to flush toxins the massage releases. Otherwise you may get more sore after wards then before you began.Well I'll update you tomorrow...I will be drinking my lemonade all day and Drink my Senna Tea before bed. Let's hope everything comes out alright. LOL!

An Island of Security....A Mother at Home

Very largely does the wife hold in her hands, as a sacred trust, the happiness and the highest good of the hearts that nestle there. In the last analysis, home happiness depends on the wife.
  • Her spirit gives the home its atmosphere.
  • Her hands fashion its beauty.
  • Her heart makes its love.
And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, that no woman who has been called to be a wife, and has listened to the call, should consider any price too great to pay, to be . . .

the light,
the joy,
the blessing,
the inspiration,
of a home.

The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies.

A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of home happiness.

God sends many beautiful things to this world,

many noble gifts;

but no blessing is richer than that which He bestows

in a mother

who has learned love's lessons well,

and has realized something of the meaning

of her sacred calling.
