Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! If you are a mom, I hope you give yourself the gift of love, grace and self-compassion. It is the hardest job and doing our best with the resources we have is all we can strive for. If you need to nudge your loved ones to make you something special, check out last week’s dinner planner for some lovely and healthy-ish brunch ideas. Also, don’t be afraid to tell your partner and/or children how you want to spend your day.  Not everyone can read minds, if you know what I mean. If you are missing your mom this weekend, I am holding space in my heart for you.  When a parent leaves us, it is a void that is impossible to fill.
