Mothering is Sacred Work

Mothering is Sacred Work

We celebrate Mother’s Day on Sunday. People associate this day with flowers, cards, phone calls and taking mom out to breakfast. For those of us who have been fortunate enough to be raised by a mother who nurtured us, believed in us, and helped us to see our value and worth, this is an important day for remembering and giving thanks—and sharing the love that we have received. Mothers not only birth us into the world, they help us become ourselves and discover that unique and wonderful gift that each of us brings to making our world a better place. Moms, we celebrate and thank you!
