Red Lotus Mama

This is my online journal of being a single a stay-at-work mom of an amazing 3 year old daughter.

The Buddhist believe that the lotus flower symbolizes infinite potential, renewal, transformation and new beginnings. The red lotus symbolizes the original nature of the heart. It is the lotus of love, compassion, passion, activity and all the qualities of the heart. To me this identified the new strange and unknown world of motherhood.

Therefore, I am the Red Lotus Mama.
