Every Monday and Thursday at motherscope.com you will find a new story or poem written by one of our 31 regular contributors from around the world.
At Motherscope, we believe stories are unique and universal. Our mission is to democratize writing and storytelling by elevating the voices of mothers. We believe reading stories is a self-exploratory and unifying experience. When we receive and celebrate another mother's story, we become open to honoring our own.
These stories are here to keep you company, remind you you're never alone on this motherhood journey, and inspire you to take the time to write your own.
Be Careful
By Leesha Mony | Before becoming a mother, I always wondered what type of parent I would be. I wondered if all of my best efforts and intentions would pay off. I wondered if I would know what to do or how to handle the difficult moments and seasons. I wondered if, in some way, mothering would be easier than I was expecting and if I would silently think to myself – what are all these people talking about?
Surrendering: A Painful Act of Love
By Leesha Mony | It was a cool and peaceful day. We moved with ease and openness as we made our way down the ravine near our new home. The breeze carried a playfulness that had returned after a long season. Finally, after making a big move, we were able to not only explore our surroundings but also try and connect to one another.
