Day 6: Love Is Strength and Vulnerability

"What has love taught you about your own strength?"

P.S. This blog is part of my upcoming Mother’s Day book, and we’ve got something special dropping soon: the M.O.T.H.E.R. GPT.

GPT Affirmation: “Love doesn’t weaken you—it roots you. Your softness is sacred. Your strength is wrapped in grace.”

 

I used to think strength was never crying, never breaking. But becoming a mom showed me real strength is loving so fiercely it hurts—and still showing up. Every scraped knee I kissed, every tear I wiped, that was strength.

In the quiet moments between bedtime stories and early morning hugs, I discovered that true strength comes from surrendering to vulnerability. It’s in our willingness to love unconditionally, to risk deep connections even when the outcome is uncertain, that we reveal our inner power.

This journey has reshaped my worldview. I now see that embracing our weaknesses can lead to profound personal growth and resilience. The vulnerability of a tender touch, a heartfelt smile, and an honest tear illuminates the courage it takes to be all of who we are in a world that often celebrates only perfection.

As we celebrate Mom’s Day and honor the journey of motherhood, remember that every shared moment, every seed of softness, contributes to the strength that binds us together. The powerful mix of love and vulnerability isn't just a passage—it is the foundation of our human experience.

Let's cherish this beautiful paradox: love that both comforts and challenges us, that heals and transforms us. Every experience, every shared pain, and every joyous triumph is a testament to the enduring spirit of compassion and resilience.

If this resonates with you, share it with someone who reminds you that vulnerability is the birthplace of change. Let’s spread the wisdom—love truly is strength and vulnerability.
