Sanaa this is triumphant. The power you claimed in that moment arose from deep inside your self. That is something to seize with both hands, as your delicious cake is too.

I wanted to restack quotes from so much of this piece. "My love for my children will not come with an emotional price tag attached." Well said, and to be honest, a little reminder I needed too! Thank you for sharing this powerful piece Sanaa

Beautiful, Sanaa. The power of one! Embracing all roles at once and making deliberate choices whatever they are show that you’ve evolved with determination and courage. The tart looks delicious.

Thanks for your words dear Amela. The power of one indeed. It took me a while to embrace all roles but that's ok. It's never too late :-)

Ah Sanaa, this is so relatable. And you reminded me of when I lived in Warsaw — winters are so cold there. I remember the first day it snowed: I walked outside and it was so cold I instantly got a headache. I promptly went out and bought a warm hat and a coat that looked like a sleeping bag! lol
