This week, the coming of Mother’s Day ignited a lot of meditations. In these very deep and soul searching sessions I rediscovered and connected with certain qualities possessed by my mom that my ether self was attracted to while designing essential lessons into my life. These lessons would act as sign posts along the way to me and are part of why I believe these qualities are the very reason that I chose my mother to be my mom in this incarnation.
Follow Your Heart
My mom has always followed her heart in everything…if she hadn’t…I would never have been born 
Throughout my growing up I saw her relentlessly pursue the ideal of heart over all else. This road was not without its bumps, rough spots and craziness but I learned to never ignore how I feel and that there are times when your heart is a truer path than your head.
Love Is Everything
As a child my mom always told me that love could do anything…from moving mountains to saving lives. I was always told that God is love and that expressing love is what we are here to do. My mother was raised half Catholic and half Protestant. My grandfather had a falling out with the church when they would not perform marriage rites unless my grandmother converted to Catholicism. As a result he did not fully trust his own faith and my grandmother was never allowed to fully express hers. My mother left her roots behind and created her own code of conduct which was entirely based on the power of love…it was her religion, and she still follows this simple and powerful belief today.
Trust Yourself
Mom was used to being corrected. My mother to this day can not read and write beyond a third grade level. She was the second to youngest of seven kids and was used to having older siblings, parents, teachers and just about everyone else constantly tell her she had gotten it all wrong. Naturally, she didn’t trust herself to navigate many of life’s situations and often would defer to the wisdom of others whenever something had to be figured out. There was one exception to this rule however and that was when her intuition would rise. If my mom’s intuition had been triggered, she would become stubborn as mule. No one or thing could sway or deter her…she would follow her gut at all costs. Watching her transform I learned just how powerful intuition can be…I never observed her more in her element and in control than when she heeded her inner self.
Intertwining Paths
I am so grateful to my mom for walking her path and providing me with the many lessons that she alone was a perfect match to give…I am also grateful for her dedication and service toward life…because that is what a mother truly represents. A mother brings life forth into this world…through her body the immaterial takes form. She nurtures this precious new being and devotes herself to its growth providing as much safety, security and love as she is able…motherhood is one of the ultimate spiritual opportunities and being a mother myself I am truly grateful for the experience. On this day while my family showers me with attention, appreciation and special care…I reflect on how the ultimate gift is life and I am committed to the continuity of this most beautiful expression of divinity.
I’d like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all those who nurture life regardless of gender, age or child status. May loving thoughts be yours
