My dear, dear friend,
Raising children is the most beautiful gift for your personal growth. You are challenged, tested and questioned every day, especially with teenagers.
Although I never dreamt to be a mom as an adolescent, and while not being a very typical mom, I can say that motherhood has enriched my life in a way I could never have imagined.
It taught me the meaning of unconditional love.
Last week after a conversation with my 14-year old son, I felt grateful to be a mom, it was a profound moment where he opened up after being defensive and closed for months.
And it made me realize once again, that if there is one reason for my existence, it is this one: not to let my child go to sleep and feeling alone and unloved.
We showed our son the meaning of unconditional love and at the same time made him aware about his responsibilities, choices and consequences in life.
Every single day we are an example for our children how to lead in the world, they look at us for guidance and support even when they don't show it.
And that's what I am talking about in the live broadcast of last week. You can watch it here.
Much love,Barbara.
