Yes, even on Mother’s Day we cannot expect mothers to only feel positive emotions - perhaps ESPECIALLY on Mother’s Day we shouldn’t.

If your Mother’s Day includes feelings of fear, doubt, grief, loss, anger, sadness - you’re not broken. It’s ok. The goal is mixed emotions. Whatever you’re feeling I hope you let in the positive as well - self-compassion, pride, hope, and love are a few good ones to intentionally bring in with the rest, if this day is a challenge for you.

Hello 42.

I was born a premature baby on a snowy May 3rd in 1984 to a young mom who couldn’t hold her newborn because she was rushed to the NICU and locked in an incubator. All she could do for days was hold my bruised foot through a hole in a box.

Today when the clock struck the time of my birth, I was walking with my mom in the sunny weather. Chatting.

Here’s to 42. It’s going to be a good one.
