Mine was spent with family; my
mom and aunt and little ones.
Being a mom is hard work. Its also rewarding, frustrating, exhilerating,
draining, and overwhelming. I'm a CFO and being a mom ss actually harder than
that. The numbers are always the numbers and I can doa Board presentation in
15 minutes but nothing in life prepares you for your autistic 6 year old to
coat your kitchen in flour or spray away half of your bottle of expensive
perfume because they wanted to play.
I didn't think I could do this parenting thing on my own and I was right. My
village has been what has sustained me through what has been quite a renewal
season for me. Over the last two years they have supported me, encourgaed me,
allowed me to vent, bought me groceries, loved my kids, provided resources and
served up much needed wisdom.
While I was fully prepared to raise my kids as a single mom I'm so glad I
don't have to. I'm grateful to be so loved and although all the women who have
loved me and my children don't all hold the title of mother, I believe this
Rumi quote is true. Love is our mother.
Shop Mommy and Me
I know Mother's day can be hard for those who have lost their biological
mother for whatever reason but I hope that there is at least one woman who
has mothered you in your lifetime.
So to my mommy, my sisters and friends of my sister, to all my aunties,
friends, my godmother, the fantastic teachers at my kids school; my faith
and your love gave me hope, made me whole and kept me going and I hope that
you have felt that same love from me in return.
You are all mother because of your love and I celebrate you!
Who are the special mothers in your life that have poured into you that
powerful restorative love?
