I have earned my stipes and I am proud of it


This body created magic.

This body sustained life.

I carry the symbol of the process upon me so that I never forget how amazing I am.

She grew here.

With me.

We were one.


Now when she is away from me / my body; I can look down and smile. I will wear these signs as badge of honour and pride. A reminder that I am, as all women are, amazing.

Motherhood is not something to be forgotten or covered. I will not place my idea of beauty on an unmarked form. Instead i will see what is actually there.

I see the beauty, strength,, commitment, determination and love that each of these marks represents.

I look down to the marks and then look up to see her and find myself blessed and content in all respects. I have everything that I wanted and I have the best of that it in the whole wide world.
 

IVY RISHI (#IvyBaby) is the one around which my world moves now. These two words have the depth more than any ocean can ever have; at least for me.
IVY + RISHI = TANU’S EXISTENCE
