Mother's Day 2020

This is "The Lady" card from the Druid Craft tarot deck. It is equivalent to "The Empress".

So here it is Mother's day. I have been celebrating it as a mother for 5 years now. I have not celebrated with my own mother in 9 years as she is in spirit now. Today I have to work so I did not get to sleep in. In fact, I was not even allowed to sleep until my alarm went off as my daughter woke me up because she was hungry. So as a mom, I got up and made breakfast, which I do 99% of all mornings. The "breakfast in bed" fantasy did not happen this year. However, I got to spend time with my family longer than I normally do before work and my daughter made me a card and a bookmark.

This may seem like a random post. But it comes in a time where I feel I am truly listening to my intuition or inner guidance. With a pandemic underway and everything filled with uncertainty, I had to make a very difficult decision between keeping my family safe or letting my daughter attend dance class in person. Even though the teacher has plans for safety measures, the more I thought about my daughter attending class and participating in a recital (scheduled for the end of June) the more I felt anxious and I had knots in my stomach. I took this as a sign from a higher guidance that I should not send my daughter to dance class. It was such a strong feeling! I find that I am paying attention to my intuition, or gut feeling, more and more lately.

I hope that all mothers reading this post felt as special and wonderful as you are!
