For our kids,


It is a feeling that is felt deep

down of our hearts

It is the purest form of love,

respect

It is an honour, an emotional

bond

Difficult to define a mother?


Mother’s Love for child: no bond so strong in the entire world

Patience

Affection

Unconditional & selfless

It knows no law, no pity

No love so insttantaneous &

forgiving


What is motherhood ?

A divine role, a gift from God,

Highest, holiest selfless service

Both a daunting responsibility

& a glorious opportunity

An indescribable journey

where the umbilical cord can

never be cut!


Motherhood is learning how to mother yourself

Motherhood is

discovering YOU

that YOU knew

never existed


Beauty of Motherhood

Never Letting Go


Being a mother doesn’t mean simply having children

A Life starts within

Choice starts

Caring for yourself & baby

You watch your heart beating

outside your body!


After all motherhood is a choice you make every

day to put your child’s

HAPPINESS & WELL- BEING ahead of your own


She knows when to let go


Her happiness depends on her children…


That cannot be seen or touched

FEELINGS


When you first missed your period, test was positive for

pregnancy

When you saw your baby’s heart beat on ultrasound

When you first felt nausea

When you first felt the kick

When you first held the baby in your hand, first touch & feel

When you first breastfed him

When you saw the first smile

INDESCRIBABLE FEELINGS...


BEING HUMAN & FORMING BONDS

There was a shift: learn to lead

from a daughter to a working mother

What do you want to do when you grow up?

Many answers

Like you, a working mother.

“I still love this question” when kids answer


Balance between Definition & Completion

Motherhood defines me in more than one

way

Work completes me in more than one way


Immense pressure & numerous problems

both at personal and professional fronts

New problems – New wisdom

My Learnings from motherhood



You learn selflessness

You want to give your kids an incredible

experience

That’s all that matters

I will feel like my heart is outside my chest.


As moms, we always have the special

mommy moments. What’s one of your

favorites?


My Give to You All in your journey as a mother………..

As you rise, you need to ask for help. Ask

people to help watch your kids. These are

family goals…not just mommy goals. Don’t

isolate your business from your family.

Bring in your spouse and your kids into

your business.


Tips for being successful in what you do

Think long term, not short termSpend less time with negative people

Don’t be afraid to ask for helpAlways follow through

Learn how to lead other women & menValue your time

Every year, rest new goalsGet uncomfortable

Surround yourself with people who believe in youStay focused

Never depend on anybody for your happinessSpeak up: Be assertive


She brought us to this world

Fed us with her milk

Sang lullabyes

Woke up with us throughout night

Cared all the time

Still holding our hands no matter how old we are

Celebrate for our mothers

Tell your mother how much you love and respect her


We have only one life- only one mother-

before its too late express your love

I LOVE YOU MOTHER


Most of us owe our successes in the world to the love we received from Mom


Happy Moments at our hospital


Unforgettable Joyous moments
