Last April I was given the opportunity to look at this Scentsy warmer for the very first time while I was on a trip to Meridian, Idaho. Aka Scentsy birthplace. I was asked to reflect on it and Motherhood. As I stared at this beautiful warmer tears began to flow from my eyes. Not the sweet gentle tears, I went into the full boo hooing tears. As I looked at this beautiful hand blown glass I saw a ton of imperfections. They where beautiful and enhanced by the light that shown from within. I began to reflect on Mother hood. I often feel so imperfect as a Mother. Basically like every day there are things in my life as a Mother that I feel I could do better. I have made mistakes along the way. I am truely imperfect. As I gazed at this piece of glass I began to think . It is like me full of imperfections. However, look how beautiful it is and look how the light shines so beautifully through it. That is just like me. The light of my motherly love is perfect and shines through all my imperfections. This warmer would not be as beautiful if it was smooth glass. The imperfections are what make it beautiful and unique. Im sure no two are alike. Just like no two Mothers are alike. Yes, we are all full of imperfections and that is ok. The true light of our love shines through and shows the beauty of every flaw and imperfection. I want to challenge every one of you Mothers out there to not be so harsh on your self. You are beautiful just the way you are. Imperfections and all. Let the light of your love shine through you and light up those imperfections because it is with in those imperfections that your true beauty lies!
