Motherhood

The most precious things in my possession are the hand made cards my daughter Marisa makes for me on birthdays, Mother’s Day and other special occasions.  Being a mother to a most creative, active and intelligent daughter has been a real blessing for me.  As a single parent, I am rewarded by her humour, wit and intelligence and the connection that we have as mother and daughter.  It’s a big responsibility – raising children – especially in a space that means extra work to boost their sense of self as authentic individuals.  Raising a child not to follow the crowd or judge themselves by others is tough but with consistent guidance – it can be done.
