Freedom within LOVE
By: Mallory Schlegelmilch
Vulnerability, a delicate thread,
In the armor of love where hearts are led.
Yearning to surrender, to let go,
Yet the mind holds tight, afraid to show.
A captive of thoughts, a hostage within,
But deep inside, freedom wants to begin.
Love without limits, that's what I seek,
For myself and the ones I choose to keep.
No walls, no barriers, just pure affection,
Embracing vulnerability, with no hesitation.
To open my heart, to let love flow,
To give and receive, and let it grow.
In vulnerability strength is found,
A courage that breaks barriers all around.
For LOVE is the essence, the ultimate prize,
And vulnerability, the key that unlocks the ties.
So, I'll embrace this chink in my armor,
For Vulnerability is a gift, a true charmer.
With an open heart, I'll surrender and believe,
In the freedom of love, where I find reprieve.

Mallory Schlegelmilch Poem
Being a mom is a journey filled with both incredible joys and daunting challenges. Each day presents its own set of trials and tribulations, often leaving us questioning our abilities and choices. There are hard days when you look in the mirror and wonder, "How am I going to do this?" Yet, somehow, amidst the chaos, you find the strength to push through, surprising even yourself with your resilience.
A mother’s mind is a whirlwind of thoughts, constantly nurturing and caring, but also filled with doubts. You find yourself second-guessing whether you are doing things right, whether you are giving enough, or if you might be inadvertently causing harm to the little ones you love more than life itself. It’s a heavy burden to bear, the fear of not being enough. In these moments of uncertainty, it’s essential to remind ourselves that perfection is not the goal.
We must forgive ourselves for the missteps and acknowledge that our hearts are pure, and our intentions are grounded in love. We are doing our best, even when it feels like we’re barely keeping our heads above water. Learning to take life day by day, minute by minute, becomes a vital practice. It’s about living in the moment, cherishing the little things, and not getting lost in worries about the future.
Every hug, every smile, and every shared laugh serves as a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do. In the end, being a mother is about embracing the journey, with all its ups and downs, and knowing that through it all, you are enough. Your love is the guiding light for your children, and that, in itself, is a testament to your strength and commitment.
