What is about Mother’s Day

I’d love to cheers to all the great mothers and women out there.

I want to dedicate my weekly newsletter to all the mothers and women! We celebrate Mother’s Day in many countries around the globe. It’s a significant event that we honor. Today probably is more of a commercial occasion that sells experiences and merchandise, but let’s not forget about the importance of our moms and women around us.

When I think about my mom, I see strength, courage, determination, and overall honesty! Still today she is my pillar, and she always will be. I have learned over the years to appreciate everything she has done for me. All the energy she put into our family to raise my brother and me without never fall. Especially today that I’m an adult I can understand the effort she put into it. I had never seen her tired or complain.

As an adult now I realized the efforts that take to raise a family and try to hold everything else together.

A Mother by definition is a woman in relation to her child or children.

A person who brings up a child with care and affection or give birth to a child, but I’m convinced that is more than that. A mother is a person who is loving and caring, who is great to another human being, animal, nature, even though she hadn’t the possibility to give birth to her child. My life is surrounded by incredible women who for choice or not don’t have any children, but they are mothers to me! They are amazing women that gave me so much and massively contribute to this world, women that are essential figures to other children and other persons.

What’s the meaning of Mother’s Day

If we look back in the history, we realized that the modern holiday of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. St Andrew’s Methodist Church now holds the International Mother’s Day Shrine.[8] Her campaign to make Mother’s Day a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Ann Jarvis had been a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor all mothers because she believed a mother is “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world.”[9] (source_ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother%27s_Day)

A woman is a mother no matter if she has children or not because she can bring so much to other’s people life by nature.

I love this quote from Holley Gerth: “All women are mothers because all women bring life to the world in some way.”

Have a lovely Mother’s Day, and celebrate the women around you always not just this Sunday!
Cheers to the Special Woman who is my Mother, I will always celebrate her as the powerful woman she is.

With Love,
