I want to send out a blessing and acknowledgement of awesomeness to all of the amazing Mothers who have blessed my life (too many to name) and this planet with their presence, strength, courage, creativity, and wisdom. Some of us birth our own children; some of us step up to raise the children of our Sisters; some of us mother the children of the world. All of us are stewards of the Mother Herself in our own extraordinary ways. A Mother's journey and purpose are complex, unexpected challenging, messy, poignant, infuriating, humbling, deeply rewarding and sometimes devastating beyond measure. My hope is that we can know and honor the magnificence of all of this, and all Mothers, in our hearts today and every day. Deep bow to all Mothers across the world - I am honored to be on this journey with you.
