Mother holding her infant child in dedication of Mother's Day.

Mother’s Day is so special, and carries with it its own meaning for each of us. Perhaps you celebrate this holiday as someone who had an incredible mother of your own. Perhaps you yourself are a mother, a stepmother, a godmother, mentor, teacher, or caregiver. As we honor the mothers in our lives on this Sunday in May, let’s find some inspiration in the beautiful words of writers, poets, actresses, and other figures who perfectly express the beauty and raw strength that is motherhood.

No matter how or who you celebrate on Mother’s Day, we hope it is a time of tribute for you and/or the strong, loving women in your life who have shaped you, comforted you, taught you, and showed up for you in many ways throughout the years. On this special Sunday, we honor all mothers and mother-life figures, motherhood in general, and the profound impact of mothers on society. They truly deserve all the thanks!
