"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief... and unspeakable love.” - Washington Irving

The Beauty That Life Has To Offer

I was looking through cooking blogs today and stumbled upon this poem from the most unexpected place. I believe this perfectly conveys the mark of a strong woman - or person - who has experienced that "spice" of life has to offer.
I am STRONG because I am weak
I am BEAUTIFUL because I know my flaws
I am a LOVER because I am a fighter
I am FEARLESS because I have been afraid
I am WISE because I have been foolish
... and I can LAUGH because I've known sadness

*Thanks to Reeni of Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice for sharing these beautiful words.

P.S.
Thank you my baby boy for giving Mama's life more meaning. I Love You.
