Hello, beautiful friend!

This is a shout-out to you, from me, on this 2020 Mother’s Day. Yes, a total Hallmark holiday that we celebrate here in May in the United States. I have no doubt that whether you have a younger human you are responsible for in your life or not, that you, my friend, have those mothering, nurturing qualities that you shower upon someone in your life – and yes, that may even be your pet.

But, what I’m here to say to you, today is that you, my friend, are crushing it. You really are.

This has been one heck of a year. You’ve had routines evaporate from your life; you’ve had a house that has either become a fortress of solitude or a scene of the brady bunch with little escape from either. You’ve adapted in ways that you of one year ago wouldn’t be able to comprehend.

Think about that. This isn’t something that we are going to come out with ratings on who handled it best. No one receives a 4.0 for how they handled a pandemic. My friend, there is no such thing.

You may think that other women have things more together than you, but remember that is your thought to have and if it doesn’t make you feel good, then please try another thought.

I’m so incredibly proud of you. I’m proud of what you’ve accomplished so far this year: proud of who you are becoming and how much you care about your loved ones. Now it is time for your to be proud of yourself.

Celebrate you. You don’t need anyone else’s permission to do that. You don’t need someone else to say, “Happy Mother’s Day,” for you to have a happy Mother’s Day. I’ve got a whole episode about that if you need to listen to it.

And my friend, please today go be freaking amazing!

See ya!
