A Mother’s Day Message…

Mother energy is one of the most beautiful things. It’s always amazed me - the strong capacity for love, the overwhelming connection that a “mother” has for their children and loved ones. I say “mother” in quotes, because there are all kinds of mothers - aren’t there? Grandmothers, aunties, teachers, close family members, deeply supportive friends…there are so many chances to be “mothered” out there! These cards flew out at me the other day and when I layed them out on the table, I was struck by the simple, yet powerful message that they spoke to me. A “mother” has the difficult challenge of loving more deeply than anyone else, but letting us go despite that connection. We may venture away from our “mothers” in defiance and try so hard to carve our own path, but when we lose our way, that “mother” is always there with magic and fire to lift us up and inspire us. No matter how far we wander and how much we “do not want to be like our mother” we will always return to that love. There is a special, undeniable strength to be found in one who loves despite having their heart broken again and again and never waivers in their dedication to your success and happiness. Whether it’s your mother (in flesh or in spirit), your grandmother, your auntie, your teacher, your caring mentor, your dedicated friend who has “mothered” you along your journey, today, thank them for not giving up on you and always being there, surrounding you with the magic of their love.

“A mother is the one that fills your heart in the first place.” - Amy Tan

“Being a mother is learning about the strength you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.” - Linda Wooter
