      Thank you, Melissa. 💜 I have to give my daughter some credit as she inspired this idea on a forest walk.

      Thank you kindly, John. The picture was on a free Mother’s Day wallpaper site. I’m not sure the origin, actually, as it wasn’t listed.

      Thank you so much for these kind words. 💜 I was able to spend time with my mother, my children, and enjoy a little alone time to mother myself this weekend.

   Now, that is perfect, Katie Frances–mother yourself! The poem is lovely and paired with the art makes it quite moving. “You are my canopy”! What a powerful metaphor!
