In celebration of Mothers Day, I dedicate this edition to the true heroes in our world of change.  I will begin with a moment of appreciation and devotion to the greatest Mother of all - Mother Earth (HEART).  Without the support, nurturing, provisions and life opportunities, we would not exist in this reality.  Take a moment and just imagine giving Mother Earth a much needed and deserved hug. Wrap your arms around her and let your heart open to embrace all that she represents.

Then I would like to dedicate the next blessing to my own Mother, who has chosen not to be a part of my life and my journey, but whom I have learned to love from afar and cherish the life lessons we have shared in the spirit of growth and wisdom.  There is great love for her in my heart that has taken a long time to replace the hurt that was once there.  Love you Mom.

Now for the biggest group of sacred souls that inhabit this planet in a time of great challenges and growth - a hug that embraces all the mothers of the world who have come to bring forth life in so many special ways.  For those that consciously created life by choosing to give birth to the next generation of souls on a journey of light - you are such blessings and inspiration to the world we share.  We honour you today - both those that are present and those that have passed away.

To those who unconsciously created life (and I am one who shares that vision, as my first born was not consciously planned but equally loved) I salute your courage and determination to carry that little creation through difficult and sometimes hurtful situations, into this world so they could experience life in these times.  We respect you for your choices and decisions.

And last, but not the least - I also would like to acknowledge all the women who have for whatever reason been unable or unwilling to be a mother in these times - you make awesome teachers, mentors and warriors that inspire our children and give them a whole different perspective on what family means!
