365 Days of Sophia Penelope

To my great blessing and dear love, Sophie P.,

You are growing up so fast. Your first year on planet Earth has been an adventurous one. You are a peaceful and wise soul navigating through a beautiful body. Daddy and I watch you grow and change each day, and we are truly amazed at how awe inspiring life can be.

You teach me about myself, and I feel more grounded and mindful now than I ever have before. You teach me to follow my intuition. You make me want to be the best individual I can be, through challenging me, in more ways than one. I've learned I have more patience than I thought I could muster up.  I never thought I would be a mother. And most days, I feel like you're my mom disciplining me and encouraging me to stay in the present moment. Daddy and I have discovered that we are your guides, your disciples, your friends, and your partners along this journey. Thank you for being you.

I hope that when you read this, you realize and can feel how much we love you. From the very beginning.
