Cherishing Mother’s Day with Mother Earth

"Mother," is a powerful term. The purest kind of relationship that comes first and foremost, the epitome of strength, capable of bearing a child for nine months but making a lifetime commitment. The mother not only wields power, but also a tremendous amount of love, nurturing, and domesticity. We love our mothers above all else because they mean the world to us. Mothers are known for their ability to give. The word ‘giving’ also reminds us of MOTHER EARTH. Providing us with a place to live and flourish, food and water to survive, materials and shelter for our daily needs and necessities, nutrients for a healthy life, climate to preserve the natural cycle, and, most importantly, oxygen to breathe. 

Nonetheless, we have detached ourselves for the sake of our dear mother earth, based on our own convenience. We have created a superficial world that separates us from nature. It may appear cool to go for a hike in the woods or a walk on the beach, snap a photo, and post it with a nature-loving caption, but we must imply that nature-loving caption by genuinely caring about mother earth.

Let us consider Mother Earth as a person, like our mothers. While we recognize that she cannot prepare your meals or do your household chores, she is equally essential for health and well-being. Starting with small gestures, such as buying flowers for mom, we can also engage in some planting and gardening, or create a small kitchen herb garden for her. Or even better, instead of cutting flowers, buy mom a flower plant. When cleaning your home to impress your mother, remember to clean your surroundings and neighborhood as well. Using a reusable grocery bag can make a significant difference, so get your mother a sassy reusable grocery bag in her favorite color or design. Connect with the beauty of nature by taking  mom for a hike or even a walk.

So, on this Mother's Day, let us honor our Mother and Mother Earth and make every day Mother's Day by continuing to show our unconditional love.  Share you Mother’s day moments with us @UrbanBody Fix.
