For you, The Goddess. Ode to Mothers Day.

It's not always glamorous. We may not get to go out and wear that cute skirt we once did or get our hair done as often as we use to. We may not always get to wear those fabulous high heels that we love (in my house my son is the one who walks around with my heels on!)  Our nails may be ragged and there may even be dark circles under our eyes some days. That's OK! It is worth it.

Worth every second!

This is for you:

For you, the one who is always cleaning up the crumbs, the fingerprints, doing dishes, and loads of laundry

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who effortlessly gets up in the middle of the night to nurse your child, to soothe your toddler, to tuck them in one more time

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who puts her children and family before her, who doesn't get to shower each day, who doesn't get to have those 5 minutes to herself

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who feels unappreciated, tired, worn down

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who shares her shower time and can't use the bathroom without a follower

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who makes sure her children are fed, dressed, and clean. Even if you aren't.

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who works full time, the one who works part time, the stay at home mom

You are a Goddess

For you, the soccer mom, ballet mom, baseball mom, the girl scout troop mom

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who wears her heart on her sleeve, who wipes away tears, kisses bruises, and hugs away the bad dreams

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who stays up with them when they are sick, rubs there back at bedtime, and lays with them until they are asleep

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who spends hours worrying about her child and waiting for them to walk through the door after being out with friends

You are a Goddess

For you, the one who stands by them, believes in them, loves them unconditionally and selflessly

You are a Goddess

This is for YOU. For every mom. For every woman who gives all these parts of her, everyday. You are appreciated! You are adored! You are extraordinary! You are admired! You are loved!

May all you Goddesses enjoy your mothers day. May it be spent with the ones you love, doing what you love! I thank each one of you for being a part of my Goddess journey, for sharing in the ups and downs. This thing called motherhood is an exciting journey. It's the most amazing experience, but let's face it, it is not always pretty. Without a doubt, it is rewarding! Hug those creatures of yours and remember that they help to make you the Goddess you are!

Lastly, Thank you to my mom! I appreciate you for all you have done and all you are.

Happy Mothers Day Goddesses!!
