Away for a bit

Just wanted to let everyone know that another situation has arisen that will prevent me from being on the blog, or answering correspondence or comments. My apologies to everyone who has commented recently that I have been unable to respond. It will more than likely be several weeks. Thanks so much and take good care of yourselves. ~ AG

Happy Mother’s Day

For those of my reader’s who are moms, I want to wish you a Happy Mother’s Day. Your commitment to healing and working through your issues are such a loving gift for your children.

For those of you who have mother’s for whom it is difficult to have the kind of sentiments expressed in Mother’s Day cards, I want to say I am sorry and that it’s ok you don’t feel that way. Not every mother is a paragon of love and devotion and while we can still love them (or not, I know under some circumstances that may not be possible), Mother’s Day brings its own pain and guilt. I pray you can find comfort from other people in your life who love and appreciate you and find peace about what your mom is like. Be gentle with yourselves. love, AG
