Over the last few months I have watched many women talk about what they do not like about themselves. They strive to become these perfect specimens by getting things tucked, sucked, and cut this way or that. Cosmetic surgery has become a billion dollar industry; and while I think it does have its place, it is not the answer to loving, or even liking yourself.
I have learned to come to grips with my imperfections and I know that they are a part of who LaTara is. I am a perfect imperfection with dents, bumps, and bruises. I understand that there are no perfect people- though there are many who want to believe they are. And you know what? They are perfect…but now in the way they may think.

Last month I was tagged by Daisy over at Dr Mommy Chronicles. The topic is Motherhood Lessons. It took me a few days to decide what I would talk about because I did not want to write just any thing. After that I just kept forgetting; but on this Sabbath morning I have time to write a bit now.
If you have been participating in reading and commenting on this blog for any amount of time then you know that I am going to come a little off the cuff with my thoughts. So here goes.
As a mother I guess you could say that the main lesson I have learned to always allow your children to be molded by God. I think the most valuable thing that we can learn as moms is that we cannot control our children. We can manage and guide, but not control. God blessed us with children and as with everything we are given, we are to be good stewards over them.

While I am not a political blogger and likely never will be because politics is not at all about God, but man in my opinion. However I do find that it is a topic that many mom bloggers are discussing. I have noticed that some of these moms are to the left while others are to the right. This made me think, “LaTara, what type of mom are you?”
I have been thinking about this long and hard for the last few days and I have decided that I am a Vertical 
Mom. I don’t beat to the beat of a man’s drum. My drum is mine and only God can have a turn on it. That is not selfish because man is not the determiner of my life as it should be. I am not concerned with whether or not I am liked, if that were the case I would cry everyday, as there are many who think I am different - not at all like the rest. To that I say thank God because as I watch the path that many take, I am glad that my road is a little different.
