For your 1st birthday Mommy wanted to get you
something special. I looked for a perfect necklace for you since before you
were born and finally found one! A “Sacred White Lotus” pearl necklace from
National Geographic, fair trade certified. The lotus is one of your birth
flowers for the month of July. It is very symbolic across many cultures.
Indian culture: It signifies prosperity, fertility and
beauty. It also signifies spirituality and eternity. Lotus is the
best flower found around the goddesses in the Hindu religion. For
instance, Laxmi, the Hindu goddess of prosperity is usually found sitting on
fully blossomed lotus flower.
Egyptian culture: Represents rebirth and the sun. It’s also
associated with various Egyptian legends that describe the sun. One of the
legends holds that the sun emanated from the lotus flower while another legend
holds that lotus itself rose from the ocean known as “Nun” in Egypt.
According to the legend, the lotus flower revealed the Egyptian god of sun when
it blossomed.
Buddhism: Symbolizes purity and faithfulness in the
religion. It also symbolizes spiritual awakening or spiritual enlightenment in
Buddhism. The rising of the Lotus flower from the mud and dirt of the
water signifies spiritual progress in the religion. From its roots in the
mud, Lotus grows into the direction of light. This signifies man’s desire to
rise in every area of life. Lotus therefore stands for the journey from
darkness to the light of knowledge.
To me it means a beautiful birth, a beautiful baby and a
bond between me and you for eternity. Being your mommy is so important to me,
pregnancy was just the first step of a million mile journey with you. I can’t
wait to see you grow and blossom and become your own flower Genevieve. I love
you, I love you, I love you.
Mommy
