Being Good

Before I had Kara, I didn't know how much I would love being a mom. But I love it so much. It doesn't even bother me that I partly define myself by my role as a mother.

I think what I love most about motherhood is that I have an opportunity to really do something good in the world. I am far from perfect (let me tell you). But when I see all the potential that Kara has and the future that Kara can have, I know that if I just do the best I can and raise her with love and virtue, I will have truly done something worth doing.

And that makes me feel hopeful and happy.
