Earth Day : Blessing the Water

Let us bless the humility of water,
Always willing to take the shape
Of whatever otherness holds it.

Water: vehicle and idiom
Of all the inner voyaging
That keeps us alive.

Blessed be water,
Our first mother.

- John O'Donohue (To Bless the Space Between Us)

Easter: Springing of the year

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year....
For this is love and nothing else is love. - Robert Frost

Time Flies: Mother's Day Giveaway 2014

I am both of the earth and I am of the inexplicable beauty of heaven
where I fly so easily, so welcome, yes,
and this is why I have been sent, to teach this to your heart.
 ~ Mary Oliver

Several years ago, whilst my son and his pals sat on the floor creating their own talisman necklaces with colorful beads, I decided to make an early Mother's Day gift for myself. I made myself a little bird's nest with one tiny turquoise egg to represent my son. I wear it on Mother's Day or whenever I need to remember my own divinity. 

Each year for a limited time in my etsy shop, I offer this Mother's Day talisman to you...to remind you of your own divine nature.  The proceeds of this sale help support Mighty Girl Art empowerment camp.  The early birds get the worm and I will stop taking orders after May 2nd.

In honor of Mother's Day, I will be giving away a custom nest necklace to one lucky reader. Just leave a comment here, tell me about your favorite Mother's Day!
 
(Please share on fb, twitter etc.)

Winner will be chosen by random generator and announced on Monday morning, May 5th.


Happy Mother's Day!

Made so and rooted by love,
Wendy 

 PS - It's no secret that Ram Dass is one of my favorite peeps on the planet.  Well I've got a story to share...

The other day I was taking a long walk to the lake, when I heard someone yell, "Hello Satchel's Mom!!!"  It was one his schoolmates.  I smiled at the little girl and bowed before continuing my walk.  If I ever meet Ram Dass I'm going to tell him that you don't have to take LCD and get kicked out of Harvard to experience loss of the ego, just become a mom.

Inspired by the cover of one of my all time favorite books "Be Here Now", I made myself this shirt and you can order one for yourself too...just click here!
