Dear Life

Today I celebrate life, my own but especially that of my son, he turns 4 years old today. Since I became his mother, exactly 4 years ago, (almost) everything that was ever important to me no longer is.

My son is a miracle, he truly is. Due to a severe form of Endometriosis, I was told by several doctors that becoming a mother was excluded, I was 30 years old. After a long period of trying to accept my destiny, periods of grief and denial, I finally reached a point in life where I decided to stand in my own strength and follow my intuition. I was 38 at the time and had to change many things to become pregnant. I started living differently, healthier, I exercised more often. I changed my sleeping patterns, worked less, ate organic food, drank lots and lots of water. I mostly worked on my mindset and started practicing my gratitude.

Looking back at the process of becoming a mother, I am still convinced that a healthy lifestyle significantly influenced my body. But my mindset was absolute key. It took an eternity (that’s how it felt to me) before I got to the point of believing in myself (and not the doctors that diagnose me). In the meantime, I had developed a love-hate relationship (in all areas) with my aging body. When you experience fertility problems, doctors are raising red flags when you pass the age of 35. I’ve been regularly reminded that not only my outside but also my inside was in decline. Tik Tak, Tik Tak… you are aging, stop the clock, hold my eggs, there is so much more I want to do.
