<p><strong>A Mother’s Love</strong> by Nova Reed</p>
<p>Being a mother pulls at every essence of your being.</p>
<p>You feel love you never knew you could feel.</p>
<p>You know your way, yet never walked that way before.</p>
<p>You are guided by your love, your devotion, and spirit.</p>
<p>Mothers understand like no else.</p>
<p>A mother comforts hurts with just a look of warmth.</p>
<p>Being a mother heals and mends disappointments of the past,</p>
<p>Filling the tears of life with drops of love with every hug.</p>
<p>You find wisdom, strength, and a purpose for life.</p>
<p>A knowing of what truly is your calling;</p>
<p>To nurture a spirit, to feed a soul,</p>
<p>To enhance security and watch over their health.</p>
<p>Being a mother is the greatest responsibility, and yet the greatest joy.</p>
<p>The bond you have with your child connects you deeper with God.</p>
<p>You can sense your child’s presence like a tingle of an angel blowing down your back.</p>
<p>You know when happiness or sadness falls on them, or when they are in need.</p>
<p>You would gladly sacrifice anything for their contentment and inner peace.</p>
<p>You quest for their fulfillment above and beyond your own.</p>
<p>With just one look upon your child, your heart can overflow,</p>
<p>And remind you of the meaning of life.</p>
<p>Being a mother is God’s greatest gift, a priceless treasure, an all encompassing love.</p>
<p>Happy Mother’s Day.</p>
<p>Warmly,</p>
<p>Nova</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I started seeing you, I was lost. I functioned in life but couldn’t find happiness. I felt like I was living in a fog, defined by things and my career. I kept living like that until I had to find a way out. To everyone else, my life seemed perfect. But, in reality I was truly unhappy.</p>
<p>I came across your site and something triggered some hope within me. If anything would help, if anyone could help, I thought it could be you. I was nervous reaching out to you, I’ve never asked for help. I’m a successful businessman whom many look up to. My success in business was no longer enough, I needed something different. You were so warm and caring. You listened to what I was going through and were confident you could help. For the first time, in a long time, I felt hope.</p>
<p>I did not anticipate where my journey would take me, but I trusted you enough to begin. You expected me to work, be accountable, and also to be forgiving of myself. You taught me to live in the present, to experience joy, and realize my fullest potential. You listened when no one else would. Your focus was only about me, my life, and my success.</p>
<p>I learned to redefine “success” and what fulfillment really meant. The true definition of prosperity includes much more than money. I learned to be a better husband, father, and friend. You’ve taught me lessons about communication, stress reduction, and finding balance in my life. My quality of life has surpassed my expectations, thanks to our work together and my new found insight.</p>
<p>My gratitude to you cannot be expressed in words. I’ve realized an energy in life I didn’t know existed. I’ve connected with a faith I didn’t know was even there. You have opened my eyes and directed me in a new direction. I am content for the first time in my adult life, and excited to see where my future goes.</p>
<p>Thank you Nova for everything.</p>
<p>Truly,</p>
<p>Paul</p>
<p>(name changed for privacy)</p>
<p>Thank you for allowing me to share your words. I am grateful to be a part of your journey.</p>
