Happy Mother’s Day?! Or should it be, Mother’s are you happy today? Yesterday? Are mamas really happy?
Like for real?!
Do you actually have the conditions around you to be happy today? Yesterday? Tomorrow? Forever? What about 7 generations from now?
Or are women out here carrying everybody on their backs while people throw flowers at us once a year and call it love?
I raged about this for a long time. And then I alchemized it.
Because that’s what mothers do.
We co-create. We turn pain into life. We keep weaving even when we’re tired. And at the detriment to our health and wellbeing and that of our children too. We got to talk for real about what we are carrying in our bodies.
What will you do with your Mother’s Day wilted and dead flowers? Don’t throw them away. Lets come make medicine with them.
“After the Flowers Die”. This gathering is for people ready to move past the fluff, the performance and past symbolic appreciation.
Because if mothers are drowning, isolated, unsupported, touched out, exhausted, overwhelmed, and doing everything alone… then something is broken in the ecosystem.
And if you got something for the ecosystem, come weave it in.
A meal. A ride. Childcare. A resource. A story. A skill. Money. Presence. Love. Accountability.
Come pour in.
Come pour out.
Come remember what village feels like.
Because next Mother’s Day, I want the conditions mothers actually need to already exist.
Not as a caption, a campaign. And Not as flowers that die.
But as real community. support. care. Real infrastructure around life.
We deserve that.
Our children deserve that.
7 generations deserve that.
Come through
