I have a love-hate relationship with the month of March…
March is honestly the month that arrives with a swirl of mixed emotions, excitement or anxiety. It marks the beginning of spring, a season that demands transition, growth, and blooming.
For many, the start of spring can feel like an uncomfortable push into a new phase. The pressure to blossom is not only felt in nature but also in our own lives. We feel the weight to grow, perform, and show up as our best selves. It is as if something is telling us that after the winter hibernation, it is now "go time."
Amid the challenges we face, both internally and from the world, March holds something incredibly beautiful: Mother's Day in the UK.
This month, we have the chance to salute and honour those who embrace one of the most beautiful yet demanding roles in the world.
To the mums, mums-to-be, grandmothers, stepmums, and all the women who love, guide, and nurture with all their hearts, March is the month we acknowledge you.
Being a mother is so much more than the picture-perfect images, maternal love, care, and patience often highlighted. In reality, this role requires countless sacrifices, moments of doubt, and sleepless nights, but it is one of the BEST jobs in the world. No career path compares to the deep sense of fulfillment and reward that comes from raising the next generation of humans. No professional accolades or awards can match the pride and joy of seeing the little ones you have nurtured grow, learn, and start shaping their own paths.
So, to all the mothers out there… thank you! You juggle work, family life, personal dreams, and everything in between. Thank you for your patience, kindness, unconditional love, resilience, and sacrifices.
To the mums-to-be, who are ready to step into one of the most transformative roles of your life: my advice is to embrace every moment, for this new chapter will be nothing short of beautiful.
To the stepmums, who provide their blended families with love and care, thank you for stepping up and being a guide.
To the grandmothers, thank you for your wisdom and experience, which have provided your families with a rich foundation for generations to come. Your love is a true legacy.
To every woman who guides, nurtures, and loves everyone around her, your role is immeasurable and you are appreciated beyond words.
Motherhood is truly a journey, and while many things in life may seem attainable with enough effort, there is no blueprint for being a mum. It is an ongoing process of learning what works best for you and your family, all while embracing the chaos and finding moments of peace through the storm. There will be days of self-doubt, but there will also be moments of pure magic and once you realise that despite the challenges, you are doing the best job in the world, it becomes clear: you are raising a human who will one day carry your love, lessons, and strengths into the future.
As we enter March, a month of both pressure and growth, let’s take a moment to reflect on the amazing women in our lives.
To all the incredible mothers and mother figures, may you feel the love, admiration, and gratitude you so richly deserve.
Love from SHE,
A mother giving another mother her flowers when she needs them the most.
