To the Moms who are DOING IT ALL - you're working, raising them up and juggling all the things! Give yourself a kind pep talk - you are AMAZING! Stay bright, keep smiling, and keep pouring your love into those little souls who worship every word you utter and follow all the moves you make. Whisper blessings into their ears before bed and fill them up with your generous spirit and unconditional love.
To those who are struggling to become a Mom, you are NOT alone. The secret pain of fertility challenges can take over all your thoughts and become an overwhelming giant in your life. I have been there. It's impossible to let go and no one ever offers great advice. I will just say this: be kind to your body and be kind to yourself. Don't give up. There are many ways to become a Mom and you will find the right path for you. Rest and nourish your body with good things. I'm praying for you.
To the Moms who have babies about to graduate and move out into the world, YOU DID IT! Congratulations! I tip my cap (and gown) to you. Hold their hands and squeeze 'em tight then gently, let them find their way... you did a great job preparing them for this!
To the grandmas who are filling in as THE MOM, God bless you! There's a special place in heaven for you, angels! You're making such an impact on these young lives.
To all my friends reading this, write your Mom a letter, make her breakfast in bed and take her somewhere special, she deserves to know how deeply you feel about her. Sending you all my love on this Mother's Day!
