May 8th- Mother's Day

We at OTO would like to say Happy Mother's Day. Motherhood is not only the physical process of bringing a child into the world alone. Motherhood also harbors a spirit of loving consciousness—a choice. A choice made over and over again to nurture and cultivate life. A Mother’s body can do miraculous things, as can a Mother's love. And nothing is like a Mother's love. Embodied by a Mother, a Grandmother, an Aunt, a Sister, an Adoptive Mother, or those that have been divinely put in place to be a Mother in unacknowledged and unconventional ways. We salute you for the ways you advocate for your children as well as others. The way you break generational curses, and how you actively heal yourself while raising your own children. Even the children that are grown. We acknowledge your dedication, your sacrifice, and mostly you. You in entirety. Not just the beautiful part of you that is a Mother but also the you that dreams, that hustles, and the you that, despite all you do, deserves rest. 

We hope this day and many others that you feel loved, valued, and beautifully seen. Always in all ways. 

There’s no way I can pay you back, but the plan is to show you that I understand. You are appreciated. - Tupac
