Mother’s Day is for EVERYONE regardless of your parenting status…

In honor of Mother’s Day I am reposting my annual Mother’s Day tribute in honor of all the women out there who have mother love in their hearts. This is for you. This is a Mother’s Day Message for all the mother’s out there and there are many of you and many different kinds of mothers.

My Rabbit and I

Easter and Passover coincide this year.  As I reflect on these two highly symbolic and sacred holidays I realize that Easter is about new life, resurrection, and new beginnings. Passover is about freedom. Both are apt metaphors for my story of transformation that began long ago with a rabbit. I like to say I have my own personal Easter bunny — and indeed I do.
