My first theme in my weekly photo challenge was about who I am. I've been seriously laboring over what in the world I was going to photograph that was going to completely sum up who I am. The obvious answer is that one photo is not going to accurately describe all of the things that make me who I am. But, these two beauties are probably the best bet. Since Nolan was born five years ago, I have immersed myself in motherhood, letting the many other facets of 'me' take a backseat for a while. Though being a mom certainly has its challenges, especially when being home with them all day long, I have found the time spent with my babies to be some of the most precious, fulfilling, and rewarding moments of my life. Throughout my journey of motherhood, I have discovered many things about myself. Here's what I've come up with so far: I am kind. I am thoughtful. I am generous and compassionate. I am musical. I am creative. I am strong, courageous, and confident. I am sensitive and tender-hearted. Pain in others becomes my own. I am nurturing. I love animals. I am faithful. I am determined, tenacious, and occasionally sharp-tongued. I am a teacher. I am practical and logical. I am resilient.
My babies have taught me so much about myself and who I want to be. They are the things in my life of which I am most proud. And because of all they've taught me and the sheer fact that I spend most of my waking hours in the company of these two beautiful souls, they get to be the "poster children" for my Who Am I photo challenge.
