Inspiration for a Mother’s Spirit is a new book of thoughts
from 27 women about the joys and challenges of being a mother.
This is the latest book in her “Life Messages” series. Her web site with previous books is:
www.josephinecarlton.com.
Here are some sample quotes from the book: “The biggest challenge as
a mother has been to let go, to realize my children have their own life and
they are different people. I was very blessed to have them in my life for
a while, but I don’t own them. I can’t protect them from death, neither can
I protect them from life. I can’t protect them from pain, for whatever is
going to happen to them. They have their own destiny. To be able to let go
and stand on the side and watch them stumble and fall and not pick them up
because they have to learn the lesson is the most awful, awful challenge
for a mother.” —Isabel Allende/author
“Mothers inspire their children through the life that they live. A mother’s
life lived is what children see and feel the effects of on a moment-by-moment
basis.” —Virginia Harris/Spiritual Leader
The 27 contributors are real moms of different ages, and from various
ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Ranging from a rabbi to an appellate
judge and author Isabel Allende, to a comedienne/stay-at-home mom and a physician,
mother of nine children, who worked with Mother Teresa. Some speak of the
joy of giving birth. Others ponder the significance of leaving a legacy
long after they are gone.
The 246 page hardcover book is $6.98 and is available at Barnes &
Noble and at www.barnesandnoble.com. Life Messages for Moms: Inspiration
for a Mother’s Spirit. ISBN: 1-56731-643-3 Ý Ý |
