The biggest surprise, which is also the best, is that I didn't know I would love motherhood as much as I do.

I've been blessed, acne never knocked on my door. I think I look pretty darn good.

'Thank you power' is writing down the moments that are good in your life so that you can go back and reflect on them - so you've got this sort of repository of good stuff in your past.
