Happy Mother's Day Weekend

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, but I like to look at it as a Happy Maternal/Nurturing Day, too. Mom energy comes to us in so many ways. Biological moms, the woman/women who had a hand in raising us, nurturing us through any point in our lives, sisters, grandmothers, mother-in-laws, aunties, cousins, colleagues, friends, all the nurturing relatives and friends we have known/know/will know, Mother Earth . . .  the list is long and beautiful. Not all the women in our life are necessarily nurturing, but tomorrow is a day we celebrate and say thank you to the ones who are.

To all the nurturing women in my life, Thank You. To all the women who have come before me, are now, and are yet to come and nurture our world and each other, Thank You.

Now I know it's Mother's Day weekend, but like the stories I write, I want to value and celebrate  women and men. So to all the men who value and support the amazing women of this world, Thank You brothers . . . and to the kids who put up with us adults, Thank You for your patience, and joy!

To all the nurturing people in the world, Thanks!!

Happy Mother's Day!!
