We are so much more than the selfies that we take.
We are so much more than the Facebook status we post.
We are so much more than a number on a scale.
We are so much more than a dress size.
We are so much more than the color of our skin.
We are so much more than the scars on our body.
We are so much more than a tidy house.
We are so much more than parent volunteer hours.
We are so much more than fast food on a weeknight.
We are so much more than a bad hair day.
We are so much more than wrinkles on our foreheads and the plumpness of our lips.
We are so much more than “eating good”.
We are so much more than “exercise more”.
We are so much more than “mama, you don’t need that wine”.
There is a real woman beneath all that you see. There are hurts and there are moments of glee. There is exhaustion and there is adrenaline running through our veins.
Look beyond the surface and you will see …
We are mothers.
We are women.
We are cherished.
We are beloved.
