Mother’s Day Retreat

May 10, 2014

beach-ocean4I know this is a tough weekend for many of you, as the Mother’s Day hoopla comes to head and you wrestle with taking care of yourself, fulfilling family obligations, and dodging the flippant “Happy Mother’s Day” greetings.

I thought we could use and emergency Whiny Weekend/Support/Retreat, so I’m posting this here and have also created a topic on the Community Forum, in case you need to just get away. I chose the image for this post so you can imagine yourself there if things get too wild.

So, hope you’re all doing okay. See you back here on Monday, when it will all be over.

    Just when I think I am so strong, I’m suddenly vulnerable all over again. Saying a prayer for my LWB sisters as we head into this weekend. May we get through it with grace, self-respect, and a lotta love. xxoo

    I posted on my FB page that tomorrow is for ALL nurturing women. It’s for sisters, daughters, god mothers, aunts, and friends. I received a lot of positive comments so I encourage you to do the same. Why do we have to be depressed when we all nurturing women as well. If enough of us do it then maybe the people who market to mothers will get the hint. I encourage you to fight back!
