Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day! Today, as we celebrate the incredible women who hold the title of “mom” in our lives, we’re reminded that motherhood extends far beyond the realm of biology. At Thrive by The Rising Muse, we’re excited to join in the Mother’s Day festivities with a special episode dedicated to the joys of motherhood, while also recognizing the diverse forms of maternal love that enrich our lives every day.

Join us on this special day for a heartwarming and candid conversation with Naty, Veda, and our special guests Cindy and Emily, as they share their experiences, insights, and wisdom on what it truly means to be a mom. From humorous anecdotes to heartfelt reflections, this episode offers a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of parenthood.

But as we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s also take a moment to honor the many faces of motherhood beyond biology. In our lives, we encounter countless women who embody the essence of motherhood, whether they’re spiritual mothers, adopted mothers, or simply women who extend their nurturing presence to those in need. These women weave themselves into the fabric of our lives, offering guidance, support, and unconditional love that knows no bounds.

For some, motherhood takes on a spiritual dimension, as they mentor, counsel, and uplift others with the wisdom and grace of a motherly figure. These spiritual mothers provide a source of strength and inspiration, guiding us through life’s challenges with unwavering faith and compassion.

Then there are the adopted mothers, who may not have given birth biologically but open their hearts and homes to children in need, offering them love, stability, and a sense of belonging. Their selfless act of motherhood transforms lives and shapes futures, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those they nurture.

And let’s not forget the countless women who may not have children of their own but mother in countless other ways – whether it’s through teaching, mentoring, caregiving, or simply offering a listening ear and a comforting hug. These women play a vital role in shaping the next generation, leaving an enduring legacy of love and kindness in their wake.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s honor and celebrate all the women who embody the spirit of motherhood in its many forms. Whether biological, spiritual, adopted, or simply maternal in heart, their love and nurturing touch enrich our lives in ways that words can scarcely express. Here’s to the mothers, in all their beautiful diversity, who make the world a brighter, more loving place.

When I think about a mother, my frame of reference is obviously to think of my own mom. As many daughters, my relationship with my mother has had many stages. If there’s one thing I’m always sure is that no matter what, my mother loves me and that I love her too. Some days she drives me absolutely crazy, but that is her job and she does it very well. Some days I catch myself behaving just like her, reasoning like her and saying the same things that she says.

Last year for her birthday my brother came to visit, I heard him say something that I could hear myself saying and I joked, “I think we are related”. He then replied, “Don’t forget we have the same mother” Which reminded me that our wit comes from that little 4’10 woman full of personality.

From her I’ve learned that a mother’s love is sacrificial, supportive, unconditional, protective and educational. A mother’s love is essentially the closest thing on earth to God’s love.

Now a mother is more than someone that has a biological connection with another human being. Being a mother is a more intimate connection than DNA. Therefore I know for a fact that there are more mother’s out there than those who have carried a child inside of them. So to every woman who has mothered someone from her heart. Happy Mother’s Day!

“Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift, the fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth. Oh, how blessed are you parents, with your quivers full of children! Your enemies don’t stand a chance against you; you’ll sweep them right off your doorstep.” (Psalm 127:3-5, MSG)
