So beautifully written. The act of surrender especially hit home. Never has something changed me so momentously for the better than motherhood. Which was such a surprise as I had told myself for so long that all it would do would deplete me and my abilities. And well done for doing the work on yourself. Bloody hell that work IS HARD. I've found my 30s brutal at times to just push through... but without that commitment to being better then we wouldn't be where we are now. Cheers to 40 indeed - the best is yet to come. Happy Birthday!
