Motherhood beginning at 27 years old
About
Hi, my name is Elizabeth Frances Woodson and I have been privileged to birth the most wonderful child on the planet. Her spirit ignites a humming inside me filled with beauty and grace leaving me weightless. I remember going to church with my cousin Miah and dreaming of the day I would become a mother. Though, things have not gone to plan; they are evidence of God's glory and I am grateful.Â

Dear Filasofia,
​
You've just sho easily have become my favorite person in the world, and there are people on this Earth that cure disease, discover new ways to worship God and plant gardens filled with my favorite flowers. None of them Sofia, have manage to do what you have don't in your two years on Earth.
​
Cure me of my worries simply with a smile; make me feel a part of something greater than myself; put a drive inside me to autocorrect the things that could cause worry and overall make me a better person effortlessly and without pain.Â
​
Fila, you are so effortlessly wonderful, so playful, so filled to the brim with light that I know you are the evidence of fair fights and hard work because I can confidently say I have been awarded you.Â
​
I love you, and everything that I do is for you.
​
Your mother,
E. Woodson
Dear Mommy,
​
I'm so happy to call you mine, and I know I have made a good choice asking you to be my mommy from heaven. The beauty I have been allowed, because of your grace and power. I love you so much.
​
You have allowed for so much creativity and learning in my life, where I know I have a voice that matters in the community. Where I can stand confidently for the things, policies, issues, movements that I believe in and know that you may have a different opinion than mine, but more than not you are in my corner supporting me.Â
​
I thank God everyday for your stability. That I have a mother that doesn't drink or indulge in devilish activities, who supports me financially and invests in my dreams. I model myself completely after you when it comes to Sofia. If I can make it to your table as a mother, I know I gave my all and that even in times when she wishes to be alone, she will find her way back to me.
​
​
Thank you for taking me in, for mentoring me, supporting me with Sofia. Through doctors appointments and my journey of recovery and sobriety.Â
​
With love, your daughter,
Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth,
​
What should we call you today? Are you tapping into your masculine energy, climbing the greatest mountain that ever was? Or perhaps you want to spin around dizzy? Nevertheless self, you are adulting. Paying your phone bills, your house bills, your daughter's essentials and you still have time to build a website. (Smiles)
​
I am proud of you. Through all the bliss and all the hardship you stayed focused on your priorities. You used your resources and your prioritized family. I bet you can feel their names pumping through your blood stream.
​
I love you Beth, oh not Beth? (Smiles)
​
With joy,
E. Woodson
01.
Pray
There is no time of the day that once can't pray in. Sofia brought me closer to God and being able to worship anywhere is a privilege America allows. I find myself praying for opportunities, that my mind stays clear. Praying just to say 'Thank you, God.'
02.
Stay Grateful
My pregnancy wasn't delightful, Sofia stayed healthy but I was no showered with pleasantries and gift. I was fighting for my mind, for my life. And still I wouldn't have taken the journey any other way. I have such a deep root in graititude that wouldn't exist if it were for F
03.
Kisses
I honestly can't keep my fingers off her. Finding any excuse to kiss her and hold her. She is my miracle, my hope, my connection to God. I know I am doing God's work being her mother and showering her with affection.
04.
Clean
And it's dirty, and I see it, and I smell it and I'll get to it with an air I have never had before. Do I love it? Yes. Let me smell it to make sure she didn't sneak a banana. Sweep, fold the clothes, take out the trash and do it again in another hour. It's a chore? No it's a privilege.Â

When my whole life lead to this very moment
I was so sure that I came to this Earth under God as an independent; here to gift my talents to people of the world. That I have the power inside me, Jesus's blood, making me the purest light. With the responsibility of care for a child, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper.Â
