Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Happy Mother’s Day,

with love and gratitude for all mothers everywhere.

To the exhausted woman,

You run on fumes and still show up.

To the invisible woman,

Your unseen labour has been the foundation all along.

To the woman who loves deeply,

Your love is the softest and most ferocious force in the Universe.

To the powerful woman, 

You hold mountains steady. You rebuild. You endure and then you rise…and the whole world shifts because of it.

To the mamas of fur babies,

Love is love in any language — paw, purr, or wag. You give your whole heart and that is everything.

To the caretakers of our precious Papatūānuku (Earth Mother),

and to any woman who holds space and nurtures others…

Every woman who nurtures, protects, and tends to soil, to spirit, to strangers… you are also mother. You, too, belong here.

To every woman who has ever poured herself out so something else could bloom…

I see you.

I honour you. 

I love you. 

You are the soil and the sun.

You are the hands that stayed.

You are the quiet and the roar.

You are the reason love

knows its own name. 💖

who am i

who am i

when i’m not hustling for worth

not performing for love

***

who am i

when i’m all alone

no one to see me in free fall

***

who am i

without you

speaks more than a thousand i love yous

***

who am i

an existential crisis 

beneath the armour

and storyline

***

who am i 

without your version

telling me what part to play

authenticity replaced by fear

***

who am i

a dream

a mirage

or divine creation

***

who am i

when my needs are met

when my heart is grateful

and my mind at ease

***

who am i 

when rejected

neglected

unmet & unseen

***

who am i 

under all the labels

the opinions of others

raw and vulnerable 

***

i am brave

even when scared

fear is a call to courage

***

i am honourable

even when betrayed

my integrity never falters

***

i am kind

even when faced with cruelty

i see the pain underneath

***

i am generous 

even after being used

i give without strings

***

i am honest 

even when lied to

never having to look over my shoulder

the truth is easier to remember

***

i am hopeful 

even in heartbreak 

love is always the right choice

***

i am forgiving

even when let down

we all show up the best we can

***

i am grateful

even when disappointed

trusting in divine grace 

***

i am at peace

even when surrounded by turmoil

anchored in my be-ing

***

i am strong

even when i feel defeated

showing up when it’s hard

***

i am free

even when i feel trapped

the cage is only in my mind

***

i am light

even when fumbling in the dark

inextinguishable eternally

***

i am your heart 

your mirror 

your challenge

and your beloved

together we are…

forever
