Kwan Yin, the mother in my garden

Blessing for the MothersAnticipate the joy of life as a mother. 
Flourish with the gifts your children bring.
Nurture yourself, too, as you care for your loved ones. 
Show your children the way of wonder. 
Voice your thoughts in kindness and clarity. 
Stand tall for your children, family, and community.
Listen deeply with compassion. 
Envision a good life and a welcoming world. 
Embrace your children with open, loving arms.
Awaken to this day with a grateful heart.

May you find the gift of peace in every little moment of motherhood.
