Mother Magic

May is the mother month and one in which we celebrate having and being mothers. Like alot of women, my journey with my mother has not always been fun, respectful or supportive (mainly on my behalf). Nor has my journey with my daughter. The magic of mothers is that of unconditional love and so often those transgressions are forgotten and forgiven and the bond remains. At the risk of sounding cliche, I am so grateful to my mum for who she is and what she has given in that role. I try to emulate that with my own daughter and son. On mother's day it is important to remember the gift we have been given as mothers, and to also honour ourselves for diving into the unknown in trust that our mother essence will be and is enough. To all those women out there who are not mothers or do not have such a loving relationship with their own mothers, you are of the same essence anyway, and therefore deserving of the same honouring. Thank you Mothers of the world for caring and loving, especially in those places and at those times when there is little love and caring to be found. Enjoy your day.
