Mantra Monday: Brightly Shining

A mantra is a statement repeated over and over, often used to allow greater concentration in meditation. I offer different mantras every Monday and encourage you to find the mantra that speaks to you in the moment. 

Challenges are often growth opportunities cleverly disguised as problems. As mamas, challenges are inevitable and there will be days when it all seems like too much. On those days, extend the same loving kindness to yourself as you would your sweet child. Then, celebrate your strength for darkness allows stars to shine the brightest. Without the challenges, there is no growth. Without the darkness, there is no light. It takes an appreciation of sadness to fully understand true joy. Shine on, mama stars.
