This Sunday is Mother’s Day. Regardless if it’s a holiday spent celebrating with mom or just an ordinary day, I’d encourage you to think of it as a day to mother yourself.
The increased heat that comes when spring changes seasons can bring up a lot of emotions. Summer can be the beginning of a fresh new start. But it can also be a reminder of the New Year’s goals we didn’t achieve yet, the habits we’re still dealing with and the weight we can’t seem to lose.
It can provoke a sense of desperation. How many times do we have to keep coming around this same circle of problems? Maybe it’s addiction or a reoccurring theme of weight gain or depression associated with bipolar disorder or anxiety from dealing with OCD. Whatever you’re plagued with, the key is to not beat yourself up about it. Be the mother that you’ve always needed. This week’s most popular posts offer compassion, hope and explanations on why you deserve those things.
Happy Mother’s Day!

Mother’s day definitely isn’t an “ordinary day”…for many women. Mother’s day is difficult and loaded with emotion.
