Jacqueline Winspear



“True friendship isn’t about being there when it’s convenient; it’s about being there when it’s not..”
 

William S. Burroughs

1.   To slow down.

2.   To slow down, even more.

3.   To enjoy slowing down.

4.   To say “Thank you!” and allow others to do for my children and me when they offer.

5.   Who my true friends are.  (“A true friend walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”)

6.   Just how loving my children are (“Let’s sing to the babies!”  “Can I watch the babies move?”  “I can’t wait to hold the babies!” “Phoenix, be gentle with Mommy’s belly…the babies are in there!”).

7.   What real, complete, and utter exhaustion feels like.

8.   How to distract myself from intense nausea and exhaustion, and find gratitude.

9.   How difficult it is to be ridiculously hungry but not be able to find one single thing that is appetizing.

10.    How patient my husband is when I absolutely positively must have watermelon and it’s 9:50pm on Sunday night.

11.     How to consume small amounts of food every 10-20 minutes from the second I open my eyes to the moment I fall asleep—and chew well.   ;)

12.    How much love there is in the world.

13.    How much love I have to give.

14.    How little fear I have left after A LOT of yoga (“OMG TAYLOR!  You’re having TWINS?!  Are you scared?!”   “No.”).

15.    To truly appreciate the miracle of creating life and be present with it.

“The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it.”
 
Jim Goodwin

“It is not how much you do, but how much Love you put into the doing that matters.”
 

Mother Teresa

“Where there is great love there are always miracles.”
 

Willa Cather

“The greatest thing she’d learned over the years is that there’s no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one.”
“My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.”
 

Michael Jordan

“I thought my mom’s whole purpose was to be my mom. That’s how she made me feel.”

Super-Mom of the Month

Super-mom Jen Murray:
I am so grateful to be a mom to twins Laney and Danny(10) and my youngest Jake(6).  My children have taught me what unconditional love truly is. Being a mom has brought so much joy to my life. As I help and watch them grow, they in turn help me grow!
  Constantly growing and changing I decided last year after practicing yoga for some years to do a teacher training program through Prana Power Yoga.  The benefits that I gained from practicing has helped me get through so much that I wanted to share that with others.  Now I am able to do just that.  Since graduating in April 2012, I immediately started teaching and sharing my love for yoga and all its benefits.  Through our own breath we can self soothe.  It sounds easy yet we are all faced with this “simple” challenge.
Loving what you do and being able to do what you love is a true gift.  My family and I benefit from this.  My kids notice a difference….especially my very intuitive Laney who always keeps me in check.   When I told Laney I was writing this blog for Super-Mom.  I read her what I wrote and she said “ You should put in that you yell at your kids.” Ha….I chuckled at her honest response and said you’re right.  I do yell at my kids when necessary sometimes even when its not necessary.  I also love them unconditionally and continue to work on loving myself unconditionally even if I yell at my kids ;)
I will continue to live my life the best that I can, making mistake and perfecting things as I go but always doing my best. I feel honored to be a part of such an amazing community that I found through yoga.  Forever thankful for my children, my family, and my yoga.    Without them all I would not be able to feel so grounded, supported, and loved.
