Diana's Healing Message For May

May is upon us and so is Mother’s Day which is next Sunday.  Some of us had mothers that cherished us and others had mothers that did not.  Some of us are now mothers and perhaps even grandparents and others are not. 

As for myself, my mother and I had a difficult relationship growing up.  All I ever wanted to be was loved (my father loved me too much and my mother not at all).  I never remember my mom telling me she loved me or that she was proud of me. 

My mother died in August of 2001 and by then we had made our peace. Being a mother is not easy and while I could have held many things against her, I did not. 

This Mother’s Day whether you have a mother to honor and cherish or not, cherish your own mothering instinct to yourself.  You deserve to be loved and you are the very best person to love yourself. 

Happy Mother’s Day to us, and may you know the love and joy of your own true self.

 Love, Diana
