#HappyMothersDay

Today's most sensational hashtag is probably #HappyMothersDay.

Technically, everyday should be mother's day, but today, in particular, is that one day that all the children around the world devote to celebrating and hastagging how special their moms are. To be honest, for a large part of my life, I never even knew when mother's day was, let alone celebrating it. Things have changed now. I've realized that its not always enough to feel that your mom is the most special person in your heart; expression matters. It makes her so explicitly happy, even the smallest expression, that its so totally worth it.

Your mom is probably the most unconditional person there ever is when it comes to you. The only thing she's qualified in is Love, and she expects nothing back. Oh yes, she's done her PhD in How to Love, Unconditionally - something most people can only dream of achieving. I wonder how they do it. In fact, even now, I am undoubtedly my mom's career. She's worked on me since I was born. And even in my worst times, I am my mom's Star Project - All day, Everyday. 

In my opinion, mothers should be celebrated everyday. But let's ask ourselves, how much does that happen in reality? So many mothers, and women in general, are controlled, beaten up and/or insulted. In short, treated as worthless. Fair? I don't think so. Jonathan Simpson, a Labour Councillor, tells us of ways we can help these women and these mothers out in his blog A Happy And Safe Mother's Day. Have a read!

For now, lets all go make our moms feel special, with maybe a small collage, a FaceTime call or something as little as saying "I love you Mom". 

Happy Mother's Day!
