today
you may get
breakfast in bed
a dozen roses
a  nice massage

or the guy
in the grocery store 
might be the only person
to wish you
happy mother's day

you might be surrounded
by friends + family
feeling like a queen
or you might be mourning
the loss of your mother
or your children
or maybe you never
really have had a mother


whatever your truth is
today we honor you
for giving
every day
all day
we honor you
for all you've overcome
in your life
we honor you
for doing the hard stuff


life is no
hallmark holiday
so today
i'm wishing you
the simple strength
to make today
your own holiday

don't wait
for anyone
to remind you
how amazing 
you are
or to do something 
special for you

create your own magic
because you deserve it

the best
mother's day gift
you can ever give yourself is
* to make room
in your life
for your own happiness
* to want to feel good
and
* to do the little things
every day that meet your needs

so today if..
you need to cry 
you want to create
your own mother's day celebration
you pick wildflowers
for yourself
and eat your favorite foods
or visit your favorite place
that brings you peace
just do it
don't want for someone else
to show you
that everyday....

​every single day is
mother's day
and today
we give
extra
extra
thanks + praise
as we celebrate
you
beautiful you

You Got This.

Thank you so much for this! I'm a mom of 2 active boys and my day was special because of them. Your post is great for anyone that has kids, doesn't have kids, have lost their kids, have lost their mom, or are just by themselves and it's a great reminder to do something for yourself because we all deserve that! Thank you for the!

    Hi friends,  I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative."  This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family!
