Being a mom has affected me in the greatest way possible - and in a necessary way. Having my son has helped me to be grounded, and I feel like with a child you have to really think about things all the way through.

Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.

Being a mother changes perspective. Things that were once really important, the sole focus of your life, aren't the same.

Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around. However, I am a mother who continues to give birth to ideas and ways of experiencing life that challenge the norm.

Being a mom has made me a better person. It's made me more compassionate. It's just awesome. I think I was put here to be a mom.

The first few weeks of being a mom were profound, not just emotionally but also, physically. All the changes you instinctually go through are miraculous.

Becoming a parent gives you access to a whole world of feeling. It gives you a much stronger sense of life and death: becoming a father made me realise my own mortality.

I am a better mother for having something in my life and not just my children.

Motherhood has made me a much better person. I see everything from a new perspective - with a sense of wonderment.
