These 50 meditations are intended to help new mothers recognize a basic, sometimes overlooked truth: that God is with them and is already present in the life of their child. Mothers may wish to place Meditating Mamas in a spot where they can see it easily: on the dresser, on the change table, on the kitchen counter, or by the phone. Each reflection takes only a moment to read. Subjects for meditation include: Anger, belonging, calm, cranky, crying, family, gratitude, isolation, joy, monotony, teething, tiredness and work. Written by mothers for mothers, Meditating Mamas is an oasis of calm in the sometimes stormy seas of new motherhood.
