You are important. Your role as a parent is valued, and at times, over-strained. This page contains an image of birch trees to symbolize your purpose. The birch tree leaf is often the first to show its beauty in the springtime. To some, birch trees represent renewal, stability, adaptability, hope, and a new beginning. Life can often feel out of balance, with little time for your own self care. Yet, finding what you need to feel grounded allows you to emerge as a better guide and protector of your children. So catch your breath. It's never too late to value yourself, and to find a renewed sense of how you can move forward with purpose and grace.
