They - little lefty and voluptuous righty - have endured a lot ... I experienced so much pain for 9 weeks when I started breastfeeding my first child 6 years ago, and yet these boobies provided all the milk she needed for 2 and a half years. They went from plump bosoms to small and perky, to soggy tea bags when I stopped feeding her, and then filled out again before I fell pregnant with my now 19-month-old son. They continue to nourish my boy through fevers and growth spurts and moments of needed connection, and they have taught me so much about cultivating healthy boundaries with my children.
The right side is our masculine, the doing/giving side. And the left side is our feminine ~ the part of us which receives. It's safe to say I've been doing a whole lot more giving than receiving on this Motherhood journey... it's been an unfolding from martyrdom and victimhood to feeling like I have truly found my centre as a Mother.
For me, this cast is a reflection of my process of coming into full acceptance of my Self ~ as a Mama and a Woman. A celebration of the Mama I am, a memoir of this season of my life. A gift I will always cherish, and a really beautiful piece of art."
