“The psyches and souls of women also have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying, being involved and being removed, questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul-place.”-Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“When sleeping women wake, mountains move.”
-Chinese Proverb
“Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.”
-Alice Walker
Held on the Thursday before Mother’s Day, this day is a celebration
of ALL women, Non-Mothers and Mothers alike!
Last year, I spent time nurturing myself for the day and it was a lovely celebration. I am not a mother. I have watched in awe as my sisters-in-law, friends, and my one and only Mother gracefully embody myriad roles and strengths as they raised their children. I am full of honor and respect for them. But there was a hole each year for me, and for many of my childless friends – we celebrated the Mothers, but were never celebrated ourselves. We as Sapphire Girls celebrate all women on the Thursday before Mother’s Day.
Let us know how you will love & care for yourself.
