Some moms are nurtured more than others on Mother’s Day
And here’s a pair of insights spotlighting why I believe that’s true
The first insight spotlights each child being guided to
Nurture his/her mother’s heart by Mom’s life partner, who models how
Best to love, appreciate and respect each family member’s spirit, every day
The second (and more important) insight spotlights the mother, herself
Role modeling a high degree of self respect while simultaneously loving
Her family with generosity of spirit acting as a barometer to emulate
As each of those insights spoke through my power of intuitive thought to
My conscious awareness at different stages of my Motherhood adventure
My expectations readjusted to match parental signals picked up by my sons
Once expectations match reality, we’re more likely to take note of
That which feels copacetic, all around vs
That which feels in need of cooperative change for the better, all around
So—if you’re feeling deeply appreciated and lovingly respected within your
Family circle, today, then it’s likely that your present expectations are realistically
In sync with whatever is currently being role modeled in your home
However, if (knowing that what goes around comes around) you feel that
Change for the better is in order then may I respectfully suggest that an objective
Examination of your family dynamics may be just what the doctor would prescribe?
Either way, as the sun rises, shines over our heads and sets on today’s holiday
Honoring ‘Mother’s Nature’, please keep this third classic insight in mind: If your
Heart longs for change for the better, ask—have I given what I hope to receive?
In short, if change is the only constant in life and if all things get better or
Worse but don’t stay the same then it makes sense to say
‘Be the change you wish for the world’ (Gandhi)—starting at home
Sending my wishes for a Happy Mother’s Day throughout cyberspace!
Your friend,
Annie
PS
Even happy families find it rare for everyone to feel content, peaceful and
Relaxed, all at once—for example, let’s consider Ravi (in the photo below) who’d
Fallen peacefully asleep in her stroller before our photo session began and was not
At all happy about being rudely awakened and expected to smile on cue; as to
Ray’s facial expression of angst, we learned why his ready smile was
Nowhere to be found when he’d up chucked all over the ground soon after hearing
The photographer say—Cheeeeese!—and how could any of us have had a clue that
By evening tide, Tony as well as every male role model in the photo below would
Feel the same degree of personal misery (as demonstrated by our sweet
Five year old’s frown) when all of the guys ‘catching’ onto
Whatever airborne virus had distressed Ray’s tummy, were seen taking turns
Worshipping on bent knee before the porcelain god, and thus, though
Ray had seemed uncooperative on the surface, his loving spirit had
Actually withheld much more misery than his tummy’s build up of distress could
Valiantly contain, and as a picture is worth a thousand words, our family photo
Illustrates this classic fact: Much more remains secretly repressed behind
Each person’s defense system’s wall of denial than can be seen until
Unidentified angst, mixing it up with a happily relaxed momentary
Stance, frees each person, who composed the mixed bag of our family photo, to
Feel whole from the inside out—Geez, I had no conscious clue as to where
My power of intuitive thought was planning to lead us, today, until
My think tank felt inspired from within to copy our
Family photo (shot two years ago), below, followed by scrolling back up to
Insert this last string of insights, which, having been aired, suggests to me that
Every human brain is a Devine Being that works in mysterious ways ...
