Happy Non-Traditional Mothers Day!! š YOU GET TO DECIDE WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIPS MEAN TO YOU. If you came away from an upbringing that robbed your ability to see things in a way that provides the fuel needed to love yourself deeply, that lacked the real love, support, and empathy needed to weave threads of protection, respect, self-acceptance, and beauty around you as a support system ā¦not only is it ok to see it, face it and talk about it to others, but if you feel calledā¦there is a huge percentage of people in the world who need to know that they donāt have to live with feeling shame or bad about loving themselves enough to say, āno more.ā Today, I hope you loved and honored those in your life who nurtured you, protected you, stood up for you, and taught you to honor yourself and your body deeply. I hope that was a stellar mother, but if not I hope you found people in your life to step into those rolesā¦more importantly I hope you have learned to be that person for yourself. I have always said that you are the only person who knows you better than anyone else. Love, honor, respect, nurture, teach, educate, and have empathy and joy for yourself. Celebrate the qualities that you have that allowed you to step up and be there for yourself, when you werenāt lucky enough to have been born into a family that provided this healthy support system. It's not selfish. It's not narcissistic. It does not make you an ungrateful child. It does not mean you turned you back. It means you have finally begun to show up for yourselfā¦in ways that were not modeled for you. I wish that upon every living soul. Especially the ones that havenāt figured it out yet.
