May Is For Mothers

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” — Maya Angelou

May Is For Mothers

This is a response to I Am Unashamed Of Being Close To My Mom.

May is a month dedicated to celebrating the most important woman in our lives — our mothers. From the moment we are born, mothers are our protectors, nurturers, and our first teachers. They are the ones who love us unconditionally, and their unwavering support and guidance shape our lives in countless ways.

There is no denying that motherhood is one of the most challenging jobs in the world. Mothers are constantly juggling multiple responsibilities, from taking care of their children to managing their careers and households. They are often the glue that holds families together, sacrificing their own needs to ensure their children are healthy, happy, and well-adjusted.

Mothers play a vital role in shaping the lives of their children. They are the ones who instill important values such as kindness, empathy, and hard work. They teach us how to navigate life's challenges and encourage us to pursue our dreams. A mother's love and support are essential to a child's emotional and mental well-being, providing a sense of security and stability that is critical for healthy development.

As we grow older, our relationship with our mothers evolves. We become more independent, and our mothers become our friends and confidants. We turn to them for advice and guidance, knowing that their years of experience and wisdom can help us navigate life's challenges.

Despite the challenges that come with motherhood, mothers never stop giving. They are the ones who make us feel loved and supported, even when we are miles away. They are our constant cheerleaders, celebrating our successes and offering a shoulder to cry on when things don’t go as planned.

This May, let's take the time to honor and appreciate the mothers in our lives. Let's celebrate their sacrifices and thank them for all that they do. Whether it's through a heartfelt card, a phone call, or a special gift, let's show our mothers how much they mean to us. Let's take this opportunity to tell them that they are loved and appreciated, not just on Mother's Day, but every day of the year.

Mothers are truly the unsung heroes of our lives. They deserve all the love and appreciation we can give them, not just in May, but every day. So let's take this time to celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped our lives and continue to inspire us to be the best versions of ourselves.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
