Good evening and Happy New Month to everyone!

August is here… I don’t know why but I always considered August as a special month. Maybe because it is my birthday? August for me means, summer, heat, love, celebration, beautiful sunsets, happiness and some sadness at the same time as it brings the end of the summer and holidays. And then a new season starts again…

But this August finds me a bit different. I am a new mother with a baby and this year everything feels different. It is the most amazing and one of the hardest years so far at the same time… I can’t think of the Holidays, and the sunset, the celebrations and the chilled vibes of August. Instead I am thinking I haven’t been the mother I wanted to be so far. I have been tested and I have broken down, a few times… And all I feel is tiredness and nostalgia for old times, and confusion.

But here it goes: I am also feeling a love I have never felt before, a strength I didn’t know I have, a person I never knew I could be! This August is not different, I am. And this Birthday is going to be the most special of all! My first Birthday with my son! My little boy, and to him I know I am the whole world. I know I am everything he knows. His home, his safety. And I promise I will always be!

Enjoy your August everyone, whatever it is you are doing and with whoever you are sharing it. Enjoy the heat, the love, the sunsets. Be happy! You got this! Goodnight.
