Truth is one: angels call it by different names – Rig Veda

There are many paths to the Divine Source, that vast consciousness of energy. – Cecilia

I frequently tell a story of a man I once knew who worked in secret for the government. He wore a gold chain with a gold Buddah, a gold cross and a gold Star of David. I thought it was excessive and contradictory. When I asked him why he wore three different systems of faith around his neck, he answered. ” I want to cover all of my bases.”

I later found out he was involved in extremely dangerous covert operations and must have seriously needed all the help he could get.

I don’t care what theological viewpoint you have or if you even have any at all. The tenets, value and ethos of doing no harm and helping others needs no religion or belief system.

Although this is a sad day for those who have lost their mom, I do want to celebrate Moms in general.

When I first became a mom, there was an unspoken kinship with all other moms. No one ever tells you half the stuff you go through in pregnancy, delivery (no matter which way) and raising children. There is no book yet that has come out and let women know how their body changes in ways too graphic for this blog. But if you have been through it, you probably suspect a few of things I am not mentioning.

As Bette Davis famously said in All About Eve, ” Strap on your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.”

Once you are a mom, you are always a mom.

It takes a lot of guts, maturation, humility and mistakes to raise human beings to become the next generation of society. It takes everyone you know because it takes a lot of encouragement, stamina, help and support too.

We are all descendants of mothers, families, fathers who have survived thousands of years so far. By sacrifice, learning and experimentation, we have evolved.

To all moms, here and gone, mommys to be and mothers right now in the trenches of raising underage children – Happy Mother’s Day! We are lucky and blessed.

Thank you to my husband!!

Forgiveness ends all illusion.

Your mission is simple, it is to demonstrate you are not your Ego.

My purpose is to heal, comfort and bless.

Learning to trust, having faith and giving your life over to a Supreme Being is one of the hardest but noblest actions we dare take on the spiritual path.

When you are feeling spiritually fit, none of your worldly, transitory identities matter.
