Today, we celebrate the many faces of motherhood.
For myself, I have been blessed with three mothers in this lifetime:
My biological mum, my adopted mum, and my stepmum.
Being a mother has had its challenges.
Relationships with mothers have been challenging all in their own unique way.
The one thing that I have learned is the most important person to love YOU is YOU!
I know being a “mother” isn’t defined by just one path.
It’s about the heart you give, the choices you make, and the love you carry.
Today, I honour:
The Earth Mothers who nurture the world and everyone in it with their grounding spirit.
The Stepmums who stepped in and chose to love children they didn’t give birth to.
The Birth Mothers who made the selfless and difficult choice of adoption, carrying that love for a lifetime.
The Bereaved Mothers holding the quiet memory of miscarriage or loss, whose love is no less real.
The Women who chose abortion, navigating deeply personal journeys of care, strength, and autonomy.
The Women who longed to become mothers but couldn’t, carrying both love and loss in ways many may never fully see.
The Fur Mums whose devotion to their four legged family members is pure and fierce.
The Adoptive and Foster Mums who built their families through patience, resilience, and open hearts.
The Mother Figures who mentor, guide, protect, and love us when we need it most.
Whether your motherhood is biological, chosen, grieving, hoped for, nurturing, or somewhere in between .
Happy Mother’s Day to all.
