This is a shout out to those of us who are not biological mothers and those of us who are mothers in every sense of the word. Being a mother is being motherly, and embracing all of the qualities and embodying the essence of its very meaning. Some of us take on many roles-mother, father, mentor, friend, life coach or guide, teacher, faith leader, role model and caring adult in the life of those we see as vulnerable, are in need, dependent upon us, or who just seem to bring out the most nurturing, benevolent, warm, supportive, loving and protective parts of our being.

Even in the presence of a crowd of angry wolves, keep the faith, do the right thing, and stay encouraged, while you must continue to encourage others. Life is hope, dreams, hurts, disappointments, anger, and it is also beauty, laughter, elation, awesome, and life IS the light! Be the light in the life of others, for there will always be some who will come to us in darkness, but let the darkness be theirs, not our own. Be the light, for you will be, and…

Keep your head up and be ye not weary nor discouraged. You are love, you are loved, and…
You ARE appreciated!
Happy Mother’s Day to all!
