With Mother’s Day around the bend, another type of Love to examine would be a mother’s love. So today’s blog is a tribute to the mothers we are, the mothers that we have in our lives (biological or otherwise) and the mother’s we are becoming. I hope you will acknowledge this incredible energy this Sunday and will continue to bring it to your relationships. We experience it in many ways including Mother Earth (nature), Mother Teresa (spiritual healers in our midst) and auxiliary mother figures in our lives (like teachers, close friends, pet owners etc). Maternal energy is not limited to the mother-child dyad.
Here are some of the things (just a list of 25) that mother’s do to protect, support and nurture us:
-communicate telepathically
-get up at all hours of the night
-comfort us whenever we’re sad
-listen
-advise us
-teach us about relationships
-nurse us when we’re sick
-Put our needs first many times
-comfort us when we’re scared
-know all of our strengths and weaknesses
-witness our whole history
-feed us & clothe us (when we’re young)
-teach us values and knowledge
-build our self esteem
-build our skill base and facilitate our talents
-get us special help when we need it
-make us laugh and play with us
-believe in us even when we are down
-remember and celebrate every holiday
-gave birth to us!
-nurture our creativity and imagination
-teach us to deal with and communicate our feelings
-teach us discipline
-teach us to withstand optimal frustration (so we can manage in imperfect circumstances)
-provide a safe home base and environment
 
I’m sure that there are many more but you get the idea. And all this…for free! Most mothers invest in you with all their hearts and one thing is for sure, if it was not for them, we would not be here.
So let’s give our thanks to mothers this weekend. I am dedicating this blog to my mom and grandmother. This is also my own first Mother’s day (because my son will soon be one year’s old) so I am starting to experience the wonders of mother’s love from the inside out myself.
Happy Mother’s day everyone!
 
My Best in Love,
 
Paulette
