#MotherStories: A Series for Mother’s Day
Hey You, Yes… you, all of you who feel a load of all sorts as May rolls around. You. Here you are, it’s #allthingsSpring and new life and maybe you carry that load out front or you try to hide it since you have SO much to be thankful for.
🌸
And yet, there’s a cringing at the question “what do you want for Mother’s Day” and you know, there’s a heart that’s weary, a sadness on the edges, or maybe it’s in the deep, deep centre of your soul. You don’t want that feeling – ask for it, plan for it, it catches you by surprise.
🌸
You breathe deep, remembering…
🌸
It’s #MothersDay.
🌸
Hey girls, if this is you, that Mother’s Day (even if you’re parenting) has tinges of sadness mixed in, #ISeeYou.
🌸
I see you and it’s time to admit that the #sadache is there, to not just put on our #Imfineface but to #fessup and #sayso,
🌸
“today…this day…hurts… and here’s why?”

“Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what He did for me” (Psalm 66:16)
Come and listen Dear Ones, as over the next several days I’m committing to writing a series of #motherstories to share the joy and more, vulnerable, fully speaking our hearts in order to be known and hopefully know more about our neighbor, and then, let the #compassionflow for others going through it too …
🌸
Dear Ones, we must speak our stories, including the joys and sorrows of #dreamingmotherhood
🌸
We must #speakourstories, of living through the #journeytomotherhood on twisty paths.
🌸
We must speak our stories of living with the ways reality ~ of living what is ~ forces us to dream new dreams, find new paths, change our #callingasmother
🌸
I can’t wait to share these stories… join me if you’d like.
