happy mother’s day to all mothers and mother figures alike! although not glittery, here are a few things which represent my own mother:

|The Empress| “The Empress is full of creative energy. She stands for all the female qualities in motion.“ |Mint| my favorite in our herb garden when i was growing up. we ate the leaves, used them in teas, and rubbed them in our palms to cure stuffy noses. |Chicago Peace Roses| it started out small in our yard and my mum was convinced it wouldn’t grow in the heat. every day i would ask it to grow for her when i watered it. one day, it finally did and it’s been flourishing in the yard ever since. |Bay Leaves| we wrote wishes on bay leaves during hard times and burned them together. i’ll never forget how quickly she ran to the cabinet and grabbed a decorative candle off the table the first time we did it. |Aquamarine| my mother is a 4th generation Piscean woman, making me the 5th Pisces in line on my maternal side. we share a very deep bond that sometimes seems to transcend this world.
