Happy Mother's Day!

My mother said to me, “If you are a soldier, you will become a general.  If you are a monk, you will become the Pope. Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.

Happy Mother’s Day!!!!

So far, for me, it has been delightful and a true celebration.  I woke up to my children climbing into bed with me for a sweet snuggle and quiet talk about the day to come (mothering my children).  I took myself and my dog on a lovely walk in the woods (mothering my emotional/physical self).  I took the time to stretch and do a little Ballet Beautiful (mothering my strength and determination).   I made a fresh juice of organic oranges, kiwis, pears and spinach (mothering my body and my earth).  I ate a delicious bowl of my own Home Grownola (mothering my passion and taste buds!).   A trip to the beach with my children, a meal out, time with friends and family – I think I will continue on this path of mothering…

Here’s to mothering in all it’s forms.  Take it in, give it out and from the mother in me, DON’T WHINE TODAY!!!  Focus on what’s good in your life.  Start a gratefulness practice today and everyday from now on.  Start your day thinking about what makes you happy.  I promise it will change how you feel for the better.  What a great way to mother yourself, and since you’ll be feeling better, mothering those around you will happen naturally.  How pleasant you will be.

Be inspired.  Eat well.  Live well.  Be happy.

Love, Patti
