Soaking in the magic of a contact nap with my beloved is the best mother's day gift.
There is so much I could say about motherhood. Its truly been the greatest initiation and deepest love and joy. It has lit a fire in me of knowing what truly matters and I have come to protect our diad connection like a fierce mama bear. To quiet the outside noise of a world that pushes for disconnection and celebrates a version of motherhood where we are somehow expected to still thrive as versions of us that existed before our bodies became the home and safe space for an entire being. So I have had to change some things, say no sometimes, not show up at times in the way some might expect... continue to re define, evolve, and stay true to what matters most.
As my little one grows I am also going through new initiations... like full days away at forest preschool, skipped naps, and new rhythms.... who knew watching a baby turn into a child is simultaneously the most epic joy and crazy heart ache!!! Wow.
AND my heart goes out to anyone who struggles with mother's day. Having gone through fertility challenges it is not lost on me what a privilege and blessing it is that i got so lucky with one magic embryo. My own mom passed 11 years ago and I missed having her mother me through motherhood. I love all of you who nurture and care for animals and the earth.
May we all be held by the divine mother.
