Mother’s Day can come with a spectrum of emotions, and that’s okay.

​

Whether you are a mom, have a mom or had a mom…Mother’s Day is a reminder of motherhood, mothering, mother wounds, and mother grief.

The cliff notes:

• As souls, we may choose mother-related aspects of our journey proactively but, dang, it doesn’t mean they don’t sting. 🐝
• Love and grief are inter-connected and this can play a role in the way we feel on Mother’s Day.
• Mother’s Day can be all flowers 💐 and sunshine ☀️, but it can also be rainbows 🌈 to honor those who are no longer here or never came, clouds 🌧️ to acknowledge the heaviness of missing someone, or lightening bolts ⚡️when you feel upset someone couldn’t show up the way you needed them to.

We chose to be human, and to be human is to have a range of feelings.

My emotions today looks something like this consciously: ☺️🥹😍(smiley, nostalgic, heart eyes)

But subconsciously, there’s a little of this: 😢🥺🤔😩😮‍💨 (teary, disappointed, questioning, upset, stressed)

Many areas of my mother-experience here as Kristen did not go the way Hallmark and those little carved wooden people that you give to someone on Hallmark holidays (what are those called?) make you THINK should they should go. (Cough, cough… what is: perfectly?)

I honor those who are experiencing a soul journey that is perfectly imperfect but still turbulent to navigate on days like this.

Some of us lost a mother, some of us chose to be separated from a mother, some of us lost a pregnancy, some of us are feeling the emotions of not yet being a mother, and some of us love someone who is experiencing one of these things.

The day I realized I needed to be a mother I sobbed. It felt like grief. It felt like something was missing because I realized what I needed and it wasn’t here…yet.

The day I gave birth I also grieved a loss… and navigated the immaturity of the mother I’ve chosen to separate from.

But…this is my journey. I’m a whole human being with a spectrum of emotions about the same thing: motherhood.

Many folks didn’t choose to navigate mother dynamics as a part of their lessons in this lifetime, I honor you and genuinely hope my child gets to spend his life on other lessons because, hopefully, I broke the cycle my soul came here to break.

I know one thing for sure: we are all doing our best. Yes, all of us.

From my years of channeling mothers for their children I can say I’ve learned a few things:

1. Souls see the full picture when they’re on the other side and can acknowledge things they couldn’t as humans.
2. Mothers on the other side are eager to connect either their children but understand if there is resistance for one reason or another.

In connecting with spirit babies and rainbow 🌈 babies on the other side I’ve learned:

1. They are hovering nearby and are vibrating slow enough to experience life alongside you, they’re so close.
2. They are observing and want to be a part of your life but will only come if your life aligns with the life they need to live - meaning, it’s not your fault and you aren’t doing anything wrong if they haven’t arrived, it’s just not their time or place for one reason or another.
3. They take journeys in ways we don’t fully understand - they may come to experience the womb, but not the world…and that can be hard for us. They want to help you navigate this joint soul contract.

So, like any of my emails, I am not sure you expected this.

Or, maybe you did if you’ve been here a while?

Whatever emotions you’re feeling today, just know this: you’re not alone.

Someone is likely feeling the thing you’re feeling, whether that is joy, grief, or a mix of things. (Maybe me, because… you saw that list of emojis 😅)

Sending you hugs and flowers 💐 and hopefully moments of the things you need today.❤️
