This month’s theme is:
Grateful for Mothers 💗
In honor of Mother’s Day, I want to take the time here and in class to give a huge shout out to mothers and all the hard, often unseen work that they do. (“Mothers” here could be grandmas, aunties, nonbinary parents, or anyone else channeling the divine feminine into caring for tiny humans). Aside from flowers and heartfelt thanks from the kids and dads this Sunday, I want to say directly mom-to-mom that I see you. I see all the invisible labor that moms do, the mountain of care and compassion and thought that goes into your actions all day every day, and I see how heavy of a weight it can be. I’ve been quite immersed in the world of mothering since becoming a mom (especially stay-at-home mom) and I am consistently amazed by the love, creativity, and *work* I see mothers doing. They are not only doing all the million daily tasks like packing lunches and doing laundry, but also planning and creating magic for things like birthdays, holidays, or even Sundays at home. All that while still caring for themselves (as best as they can), *and* growing and nurturing relationships with friends, other moms, and creating the roots that uphold a community of children, *AND* they are also using their creative energy and unique skills to care for the larger community - volunteering at school, organizing food drives or clothing swaps, basically creating the supportive, caring world we want to live in. It’s moms that are often the ones making it happen. (And shout out to the women without children out there doing lots of this work as well, and *thank you* for all you do to help take care of us moms - I have often felt very held and cared for by you 💗.)
Thank you, moms for all of your organizing, caring/maintaining, and creating. Thank you for your softness, your fierceness, your perseverance, your compassion, your hard work, and your unconditional love and caring for not only your kids but for your community near and far.
So this month I’m not inviting you to *do* one more thing, I’m sending you these wishes:
🌷 May you feel seen.
🌷 May you know you are loved.
🌷 May you take the space, time, and energy you deserve.
🌷 May you gift yourself what your body/mind/spirit is asking for this weekend (and every day).
🌷 May you know that you’re doing great work - keep going.💖
