One of the things I love about blogging and Twitter is all the wonderful new people I have met.  There are new ones every day and I am delighted and honoured to have their company on this writing journey.

Regular visitors to this blog will know that Sundays here are for showcasing interesting people and projects.  Mums certainly qualify, so today, this is for the Mums.  This is my prayer and wish for you.

For the Mums

For the new Mums, who are overwhelmed with love and the responsibility of nurturing this tiny miracle that has invaded and taken over your life:
