May is for MOTHERS

by Christine on May 9, 2012

We can think of all the different kinds of Mothers – Mother Earth, our own Mothers and Grandmothers, being a Mother, being a Grandmother, being a care-giver, and very importantly, our own inner Mother that takes care of those in our lives whom we love dearly, including ourselves.
