Happy Mother’s Day to you! I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships recently and since it’s Mother’s Day, I thought it might be a good time to share a favorite memory of mine that I have with my own Mom.
Have you ever considered all of our relationships as going through Seasons? 🍂🍃
One of the beautiful things I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older is that relationships, (like all things in life) follow the Laws of Nature, and in particular, the Law of Cycles. Realizing this has helped me to not only understand life better but also deepen my appreciation for change.
What I mean by this is that relationships are dynamic, living things and hence are ever changing and moving through evolving phases. I think it helps to think of relationships as “seasonal” and thus they all go through the normal process of:
- Beginning/Gestation
- Blossoming/Bloom
- Death/Transformation
- Rebirth into something new
Even if there is a relationship in your life that you might think of as being “stuck” or boring or even stale, these phases still apply. Yet the good news is now that you are aware of them, you can influence the outcome! 🙂
That’s why on this special day of Mother’s Day, I wanted to share with you one of my most favorite memories and experiences with my Mom. 🌸🌸
This picture was taken just a few years ago on a trip we took to Italy. Although it was an incredible experience for so many reasons, one of the things that stood out for me the most was that it occurred to me at this time that I am now in a different and beautiful phase of my relationship with my Mother. I feel so blessed that I’ve lived
long enough to go from Child-Parent Relationship to Friend-Friend and I am so grateful for this change.
Life is truly a mystery and agift🎁and my heart-felt wish to YOU is that you too experience the flow and beauty of the Law of Cycles with your own Mother or whomever is close to your heart.
With Love,
Amy
