Mother's Day is Women's Day
We're celebrating all who nurture. This is the day for you.
Happy Mother’s Day to women everywhere. Not all women are mothers, but they don’t have to be. The nurturing gene is alive and well, whether or not there were ever live-in kids involved. This is what we celebrate today and every day.
Except for Marjorie Taylor Green and a few others who have that gene missing, we women work hard to figure out a balance between giving ourselves over and giving ourselves grace. We play so many roles it’s sometimes hard to find the real us, but we’re in there. We’re here.
It’s becoming harder instead of easier, with this new regime a constant threat to the women they pretend to want to ‘protect’, but we’ve learned there is safety in numbers, and our numbers have skyrocketed. We’re in this together, and ‘together’ is a formidable place to be.
I wrote this a couple of years ago, and it still applies. Enjoy this day. It’s not just Mother’s Day, it’s Women’s Day.
