Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day! This day is reserved to acknowledge and honor mothers; albeit, your biological mother, spiritual mother, guidance/mother-figure, yourself as a mother, and other women that you know have taken on the loving responsibility and sacrifice of being a nurturer, provider, and counselor to their children and others.

I think it is so beautiful to see women, biological mother’s or not, being celebrated by those whose lives they have impacted in a positive way! On the other hand, this is not always the case and there are indeed times when celebratory occasions, such as this one, bring emotional distress to those whose experiences where troublesome. Then there are those that are remembering their mothers or mother-figures that have passed on from this life’s journey. That’s my story. This day for me is one that often starts off with sadness. My mother passed away just under two years ago. It’s still awkward for me not being able to see her and greet her with gifts on days like this. Her smile was priceless! I turn my sadness into joy by being intentional about focusing on the positive memories of her and holding those dear to my heart.

Take this day to acknowledge, embrace, or remember your mother. Then take some time to acknowledge, embrace, and remember yourself! Happy Mother’s Day to all of the multifaceted women out there!
