		<description>Lisa, your eloquence makes me cry. This is all so true about motherhood, and nobody but mothers will understand that. Husband will not/can not understand, children will not understand what it means, what it takes to be a mother. It's gut-wrenchingly difficult, but it is also one of the most beautiful things in the world if we can just take the time and savor those precious moments that make it all worth it.
If only our children would listen to us and not make the same mistakes, or hurt themselves although we tell them to be careful. It is so hard to not be able to safe them from harm and to have to let them make their own painful mistakes. I applaud your writing; definitely try to get this published!</description>

		<description>What beautiful writing...images and poetry that we all need as women. Aren't we after all the true poets of the earth, of Gaia? Your words capture the truth that we are beautiful, strong spirits and that together we are even more a power to be reckoned with.</description>
