The Road of Motherhood; 2010-2023

Inspiration, Shibumi ProjectApril Higashi

I think the road to motherhood has given me super powers!  My son Ando turned 13 this year.  I see him thinking and fending for himself these days and think, ‘Wow his childhood is really over!’. He still needs me but it’s different. He is carving his own path and I watch in awe as I see this fine young man grow into our world. 

So with this reflection I want to honor all who have mothered with a wish for a beautiful Mother’s Day.  May your super powers ignite all areas of life - family and parenthood, your career, your community and every nook and cranny in-between!

I know motherhood has made me a better person and I am so grateful.

And as everyone warned me, it goes by so fast…   


My very best wishes to mothers everywhere for your journey!
