Happy Mother's Day, %FIRSTNAME%!

I want to honor the long line of wombs that brought you into this world.

I want to honor your womb for all the wisdom it holds within you.

I honor the Mother archetype within you, the mature Feminine who loves, who nutures, who multitasks with grace, who cultivates, who uses her life-force to create joy, beauty and connection in the world.

In a culture that prizes the Maiden archetype, honoring the Mother within us can be strange. Who is She? What power does she hold?

The Mother is that force within us that births our creative energy into the world. She is the instinctive drive to give and receive. She is the comfort of unconditional love. She is the desire for new life.

She is the archetype we embody when we create a painting, when we cook a meal, when we plant seeds in a garden, when we cultivate the soil, or a new project, when we launch our business, grow a community, when we give birth to something greater than ourselves, from the depths of ourselves.

The Mother is not just Life; She is the Life-Death-Life cycle. She is the endless wheel of time recycling everything she touches. She is the archetype we embody when we bless and release, love and let go. When you put all your creative energy into a thing of beauty - a child, a painting - and then you lovingly release it - that's Mother energy. She is as at home with Life as she is with Death, and she holds both with unconditional love.

The Earth is the all-powerful Mother, this endlessly regenerative, generous and unapologetically voluptuous force of love that holds us up, gives us everything we need to thrive, and abundant beauty that delights us.

When you tap into the Mother Archetype within you, you are tapping into the endlessly regenerative wisdom of the ages. The very source of Life.

You are that source.

Blessings on you today, and the mothers you love.
