It still amazes me how I’ve passed two very important milestones in my life in the past year.

In 2007, I did not only turn a quarter of a century older, I also became a wife and a mother.

So far, I think I’ve adjusted well to the new roles I took on. But I have to say I’m still challenged with the responsibilities that come with them.

I always remind myself that it’s no longer just about me, My life is now entwined with my husband and my daughter. And whatever I do can affect them.

They inspire me to always find ways to be a better person everyday. Thus, I’ve created a “Better Me” mantra to help me remember who I want to become.

***

I am a better WIFE…

one who loves her husband fully and takes care of all her husband’s needs,

one who stays stunningly sexy and gorgeous,

one who understands her husband’s nature and listens to him a hundred and one percent,

one who helps her husband to raise a family comfortably and abundantly.

I am a better MOTHER…

one who loves her baby unconditionally and attends to her patiently,

one who knows how to respond to her baby’s needs,

one who is gentle but firm when necessary,

one who sets a good example.

I am a better WOMAN…

one who takes care of herself more and spends time to pamper herself,

one who is confident and sexy,

one who loves her body with all its scars and imperfections,

one who appreciates her uniqueness,

one who knows her self-worth and loves herself.
