Not all our mothers are biological…..

the sister who always makes sure there’s cake for your birthday (or anyones).

the colleague who takes you under their wing.

the yoga teacher who places a hand on your forehead and the warmth reassures your soul.

the aunty who always seems to know when to call.

the friend who swears a lot and makes your stomach hurt from laughing.

the lady at the tuck shop who makes your kid lunch when you couldn’t / didn’t / forgot to.

the beautician who reminds you to drink more water.

the one that sends you podcast episodes because she knows inside your head (and heart).

we all have many mothers, and are mothers to each other. Take the opportunity today to celebrate all the mothers in your life; the biological and elected, the blood and the chosen.
