Betty D’Couto recalls Lady Doak College’s pioneering creche, which enabled generations of working mothers to remain close to their children while pursuing careers, with care, compassion and peace of mind.
A reflection on a woman whose strength lives in her capacity to carry, courage to move, commitment to excellence, power to create, respect for others, and the enduring beauty of her spirit.
A quiet reminder that life may leave us with scars, but it never has to take away our joy. Even after the hardest seasons, there is still room for faith, laughter, wonder, and the courage to bloom again.
A meditation on the abundance of self-discovery where healing, solitude, and inner peace become life’s greatest riches.
A tribute to motherhood’s extraordinary transformation where pain becomes purpose, fear becomes courage, and the birth of a child marks the rebirth of a woman into the strongest version of herself. She was never just waiting for a baby. She was becoming someone entirely new. This poem is inspired by my niece’s journey into motherhood a journey of quiet courage, unimaginable strength, and a love that begins long before the first cry. Every mother carries more than a child. She carries hope. She carries fear. She carries faith. And somewhere along the way…she discovers herself.
