February Jubilation
Little human,
Pygmyhertz
no bigger
than a minute—
more precious
than the air
I inhale
you fit so
snug in the
cusp of my arm
yesterday
or day before.
February
was cold
but you brought
warmth and I
will never forget
how since that day
and through the years
you upgrade
my frequency

Today is the day I became a Mother and there isn’t a day that has blurred the bliss of this blessing: the best job in the world, ever!
XoXoXo 🤗
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.

Absolutely beautiful, Selma! The day my daughter was born was the happiest day in my life.
Happiest, nothing compares to it—well, there came another baby that helped re-live the joy. But this day marked the beginning so it’s unforgettable.
1992–It was the year when Japan’s asset bubble burst. It was the year my bubble swelled. 😘 🎈 👏🏽

I agree, Selma: the hardest, and the best!
True true true. Bless you my friend.
Parenthood is not easy, but it is meaningful. My late husband, who was a very amazing and accomplished man, said being a parent was his most important job. Congratulations, Selma!
It is the most important! A gift like not other. Parenthood is tops.
We usually say we raise children but really, children raise us: make us aware of things we wouldn’t “normally” notice. They raise our frequency!! Make us so much more attuned to life.
This relationship is so important for growth. Thanks for being here, dearest Cheryl. Xoxo be well.
Beautiful! How lovely to commemorate this day as your birthday as a mother as well as your child’s ❤️
This relation-ship is so beautiful
And deserving of such. Thanks, Sunra.
FYI, moments ago, I received the gorgeous book. Gorgeous!!
