My reflections on Mother’s Day

The following includes something I wrote several years ago…It’s about my personal reflections on Mother’s Day:

To all the mothers out there regardless of your sex or gender, to the would-be’s but haven’t yet, and the could’ve been but didn’t ( your body , your choice ❤️), to the forced, unplanned and surprised, to the adaptive and community mothers, to all those complicated feelings from love & happiness to pain & sorrow , and to the new , the old, and to anyone else in between: Happy Mother’s Day!

Thank you for everything that you have sacrificed for us 🌷. Thank you for raising us to see the complexity of life. Thank you for the important role ( positive , negative, or mixed) that you’ve played in our life stories as we reflect on all the journeys we’ve been through and learn to evolve into ourselves.

Thank you for your journey so that I could have mine ❤️. May we learn from our past mistakes and become more gentler, kinder, and stronger souls. May we connect with one another genuinely, love one another deeply yet still practice healthy boundaries....Happy mother’s day 💜❤️.
