Happy Mothers Day to all you Queens out there! 👑 💜

For those who have Mothers no longer with you on this earth, do not believe for one second that you are without her. That is not possible. She beats with your every heart beat. She breathes with you in every breath. She is coded into your every cell. She is the place you came from, your first home. Your first love, your first friend, maybe even your first enemy. But nothing on this earth can separate you. All of this simply cannot be undone. 💜

💜
In a quiet corner of Ichikawa City Zoo, a tiny Japanese macaque named Punch entered the world — and was almost invisible from the start.

Born small and fragile, Punch was rejected by his mother just days after birth. For a baby monkey, that kind of rejection isn’t just sad… it can be life-threatening. He needed warmth. He needed comfort. He needed someone to hold on to.

So the zookeepers stepped in.

They fed him by hand, kept him close, and gave him something simple — a large stuffed orangutan toy to cling to. No one expected what happened next.

Punch wrapped his tiny arms around that plush toy like it was his whole world.

He slept with it.
He carried it everywhere.
When he felt scared, he buried his face into it.

Visitors started noticing. Then someone shared a photo online. A baby monkey hugging a stuffed animal like it was his mother.

Within days, the image traveled far beyond Japan. Millions of people saw Punch — and saw something deeply human in him. The loneliness. The need for love. The quiet strength.

But the most beautiful part of the story came later.

As weeks passed, Punch slowly began interacting with other macaques. At first, they kept their distance. He still clutched his stuffed “mom,” unsure of where he belonged.

Then one day, something changed.

A fellow macaque approached him gently… and began grooming him.

Punch hesitated — then let go of the toy.

For the first time, he leaned into real fur instead of fabric.

It was a small moment.
But it meant everything.

Punch’s story went viral because it reminded the world of something simple and powerful:

Sometimes love comes in unexpected forms.
Sometimes healing starts with something soft to hold onto.
And sometimes, even after rejection, you can still find where you belong.
Sometimes the only other person you need is YOU.

Little Punch didn’t just win the internet’s heart.

He found his place in the world. You can too. 💜

I have read this many times, but today it’s really sitting with me.
Sometimes in the eyes of others, we will never be right, never be enough, never be perfect.
But what matters is that we are enough in our own eyes, perfect in our own way and love ourselves despite our flaws (which everyone has!).
Taking the time out to “just be” is so very important, ignoring all the external noise and the need for external validation. Concentrate on nothing but your breathing, and listen to what your body and heart wants and needs. What are they telling you? 💜

A new year. A new start. A new chapter. Even a new book.

Why not take some time to notice and give yourself the praise you deserve for the achievements you made last year. No matter how small they may seem, they ALL count. Especially if you achieved them despite experiencing struggles - giving you even greater reason to be proud of yourself!

We can’t change the past, but it does contribute to the person you are today and the strengths and qualities that you now possess. YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT.

Here’s to 2026 💜 📖 💫
