Treat Mom - We both know she deserves it!

What can we do to thank our moms for all they’ve done for us? How can we acknowledge the essential nurturing that such a loving caretaker provides? Mothering qualities can be experienced in other relationships too: with a friend or relative, even with a neighbor or co-worker. Mother’s Day is about Love as a verb: Love imbued with the vital work of actively caring for others, as well as accepting, understanding and just simply being there. Mothers of all kinds focus positively on their children, family, friends, communities, and even pets!

So often those who give to others don’t give to themselves. Nurturers give a sense of ease and lightness as they help their loved ones to live their best lives. They often overlook their own needs, in order to put others’ needs first. Mother’s Day is a chance for you to even out the scales a bit. On this special day, give the gift of nurturing to Mom, and to all those in your life who love authentically, without conditions.

How did Mother’s Day come to be?

This popular holiday grew out celebrations honoring the Greek mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. It went on to become a European tradition of Christians returning to their “mother church” on the third Sunday during Lent. Then, across the Atlantic, it became a cause for American feminists in the early 20^th century.

After the Civil War, pioneering feminist Ann Reeves Jarvis, gathered mothers on “Mother’s Friendship Day” to help reconcile former Union and Confederate soldiers. Julia Ward Howe campaigned for Mother’s Peace Day to be on a special Sunday in May. Loving care creates feelings of security and peace inside us all, so it follows that good mothers really do promote world peace! In 1914, Anna Jarvis (Ann’s daughter) succeeded in having President Woodrow Wilson proclaim “Mother’s Day” a national holiday in order to celebrate American mothers with all our love and reverence.

Did you know that more phone calls are on Mother’s Day than on any other day of the year? Calling Mom on her day increases overall phone traffic by an average of 38%. That is the perfect reason to pamper her!
