But women are “resilient”; they bounce right back. Look at how strong they are. She said she was tired, tired of bouncing back.

By the time girls reach seventeen, 78% are unhappy with their bodies. This lack of appreciation and critical view of our bodies is driven by cultural ideals, peer pressure, and social media. Drug and cosmetic companies market mercilessly and make huge profits from the insecurity they spread.

Have you ever felt less than or diminished because of your gender? Has anyone ever harassed you on the street or at work because you are a woman? Have you ever experienced objectification?

I have always found the history of Mother’s Day, very interesting. It didn’t begin with flowers and brunch. It began as a War Protest. Julia Ward Howe was watching the broken and injured men come home from war in pieces.

Women have often been referred to as the weaker sex, yet look at all we do! From birthing babies and raising them, women are resilient; they are leaders, have voices in government, and build community. We are the glue that holds lives together. Yet, we are not viewed as strong?

Spring is a time of awakening, and every spring I am awed by the power of one tiny little seed. Seed is the source of life. Seeds create, recreate, regenerate, and multiply themselves. We plant it in soil, tend it, and watch as it grows into something magical! A plant that produces gorgeous blossoms in a myriad of colors for butterflies, bees, and me, or after blooming gives us magnificent tomatoes, squash, beans, and other delicious food for our table and pantry. I always feel that it is pure magic!
