Happy Mother’s Day to:
Moms who work 24/7 to raise loving, kind human beings in a world that insists we are all cogs in the machine.
Moms who weren’t able to be there for their children in the way their kids needed but tried their best.
Moms who were/are emotionally immature to raise their children but are working to develop the skills they needed.
Children who never had the moms they needed but became the moms they wanted.
Children whose mothers transitioned and they miss their moms every day.
Women and female-identified people who are childless by choice or circumstance. You give birth to more than you know.
Those who had/have a difficult relationship with their mother, but a woman or female-identified individual loved them like a mother.
Those who love the earth because she is the mother of us all.
Honor your vibrant heritage by learning more about my “Writing With Your Ancestors” class.

Writers learn to use ancestral settings and cultural landscapes to enrich their storytelling, deepen authentic characters inspired by ancestral figures, and explore ethical considerations of using genealogical research and family history in their writing.
