Motherhood of the Heart: I’m a Spiritual Mama

11 / 5 / 0811 / 9 / 20

In this entry I’m going to tell you about a special kind of motherhood: motherhood of the heart or spiritual motherhood.

You may not have heard about it. I coined it, because I couldn’t find a type of motherhood that would suit my kind.

I am a mother of the Heart or a spiritual mama, a woman who deeply loves other human beings of true motherlove, and these people love me back with the devotion and affection that only children — sons, daughters and queer children — have.

And they do call me “mom”.

So, a spiritual mama is at halfway between an adoptive mother and a birth mother: she didn’t give birth to her children, but her love gave birth to a connection to her children’s hearts, who are now linked to hers.

This is a motherhood that’s mostly spiritual and pure. But for that, so precious and cherishable.

I have a new ‘adopted’ son 😀 His name’s Riku and he is so sweet and adorable – and, how he said himself, cuteylicious :3

Welcome in my heart, my sweet dear son! ♥ Thanks for wanting me as your mom, and may God bless you always. *mwah*

Bonding Pendants

Two months ago I was searching Ebay for “motherhood” and “breastfeeding” related items, and I came across these beautiful wood ornaments made by the Ebay seller bluemoonlaser, an exquisite person and a creative artist.

I totally fell in love with these pendants, such a warm and kind reminder of the symbol of the relationship that bonds a mother and a child through breastfeeding.

“Mother’s Milk – Nurturing the Soul of – (name)” is what is written on each of these pendants, where I requested the names of three of my children to be placed on: G, Y and W.

The truth is, I’ve never breastfed these spiritually adopted children of mine to date, but it’s the symbol that counts 🙂 These pendants are the symbol of the bond that links us to each other, that connects our hearts recognizing ourselves as a family.

I thank God everyday for this special gift of love, and I thank this great Ebay seller for creating such a beautiful reminder of this love. ♥

This is the one I bought for myself:

I wrote all of my 9 kids’ names on its rear ^^
