Download or read book Essence of a Mother written by Julie Jensen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Julie Jensen used to believe that mothering meant being on task--making homemade cupcakes for school birthday parties, chauffeuring her kids to all of their various activities, and so on. But as her Multiple Sclerosis progressed, she was no longer physically able to keep up, and she watched one role after another slip away. It forced her to look inside: Was her value just her physical body and her ability to do and be productive? Julie soon realized that these activities were far less important than she ever imagined and that the true source of her power came from within. Her children simply needed to be close to her to feel connected. Far too much emphasis is placed on doing and not enough on being. A mother's real purpose is to endow her children with a deep understanding of connection, love, self-esteem, and compassion while reinforcing the importance of human values. In her heartfelt, encouraging book, Julie shares the lessons she has learned about fostering self-reliance, taking it slow, cultivating radiance, adopting an attitude of gratitude, and being mindful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a mystery about mothers that no scholar or philosopher can quite explain. It is the mystery of the bond that exists between mother and child. Who speaks to a dying soldier through the shouts and smoke of a distant battlefield? Whose presence in a doorway can calm a five year old on his first day of school? Whose face does a bride happily and frantically seek as she steps out of the church and into a helpful future? We know the obvious answer to these questions, and yet, the love anyone has for a mother is not easily understood. It is formed when we are formed. It says with us through calm and crisis, and it endures longer than the span of a lifetime. This series of brief stories, quotes, and Scripture illustrates the depth of a mother's love in a powerful way. Collected expressly for all, from the newly-expectant mother to the most seasoned grandma, these thirty stories will bring tears to her eyes, put a warm smile on her face, comfort her heart, and give her hope for today and all eternity. For we know that God has given us a most precious gift in the face of a mother.

Book excerpt: An Honest and Revolutionary Guide to the Emotions Moms Feel But Seldom Talk About A few years ago, Dr. Claire Nicogossian began noticing a trend in her therapy room: Mothers are struggling with the challenging and unexpected emotions that surface during their journey through motherhood. In the confines of a safe, judgment-free space, they share about the heavy guilt they carry from losing control and yelling at their children; the crippling fear that they are failing their families; and the exhaustion of juggling work, home, and family.

In this breakthrough book, Dr. Claire sheds light on these shadow emotions and provides a path to thriving joy, inner calm, and radiant confidence. Drawing upon her own experiences of raising four children and many years of counseling mothers as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Claire shares practical tips, strategies, and encouragement to help women in all stages of motherhood.
