Be Calm, Be Ready for Mother’s Day
Mother — (n) a person who loves unconditionally and is a keeper of precious memories; a person greatly loved and greatly admired.
We all know that some how, these events can sneak up on us and catch us off guard.
This year is going to be different!
Our mothers usually say they are good and it’s enough to have “you” around. And as a mother, that is a true statement. But as women, some of us like to hear words of appreciation, and seeing them on a card is like icing on the cake! We are moved by truthful spoken words; they touch our hearts.
I hope that you know your mother. How does she really want you to touch her heart? No matter what her lips are saying. I know you’ll do your best, which does not always include purchasing her something.
- crafts
- yard and gardening
- project for house or garden
- purchasing a gift
Remember when you were in school and the teachers would help you create a gift for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day? Those were hand-crafted items from a younger you. Maybe you could revisit that creative part of yourself to do something like that this year.
What about the yard – you could buy a plant that can be added to the garden. Help her plant it, or plant it yourself. What would be her favorite plant? Think outside the box: herbs, food plants – especially those that take a long season to grow.
Maybe she has a part of the yard that she wants to spruce up this season. Help her with that project. You’ll feel great, and she will love that you spent time with her and that it looks fabulous, too.
When it comes to buying items, check with her, or maybe you’ve been listening to see what she has been looking at. It takes time to order and ship, so it’s great that you are planning ahead.
I have a couple of choices for you as well. These are great because they are consumable – won’t last forever! They are great for health and youthfulness. Some moms are looking for that, that is great. So let me tell you about them.

Essential Oils Luxury Oils
Elemi
Elemi, part of the same family as Frankincense and Myrrh, has been used traditionally to support the appearance of the skin.
Roman Chamomile
Roman Chamomile has a sweet, herbaceous aroma with notes of bright apple. Its warmth and gentleness can help create a relaxing and calming atmosphere that can make an excellent addition to children’s nurseries or play areas. Soothing for all skin types, it’s often used in skin and hair products and even perfumes. Roman Chamomile is a critical ingredient in many of Young Living’s most popular blends, including Awaken™, Forgiveness™, and Joy™.
Chamomile has been used as an herbal remedy since ancient times. Chamomile is derived from the Greek words khamai, meaning on the ground, and melon, meaning apple—likely because of its distinct fruity aroma. Roman Chamomile is a low-growing plant with parsley-like leaves and daisy-like flowers. The flowers are steam distilled to create Roman Chamomile essential oil.
Blue Tansy
Though blue tansy is harvested from tiny yellow flowers in the chamomile family, the naturally occurring chamazulene turns the powerfully pure Blue Tansy essential oil a beautifully rich blue color during the steam distillation process. Native to Morocco, blue tansy is a rare botanical most commonly known for its use in high-end, luxury beauty products.
For years, Young Living members have enjoyed the benefits of Blue Tansy essential oil in some of our most popular blends, including Valor®, Peace & Calming®, and JuvaFlex®. Now Blue Tansy is available as a single oil for you to diffuse, apply topically, and share!
Manuka
Manuka essential oil is the perfect addition to your daily wellness and beauty regimen. Its warm, gentle fragrance and numerous skincare benefits make it a great addition to your favorite skincare products. When applied topically, it supports healthy-looking skin and reduces the appearance of blemishes. You can also enjoy its sweet aroma by diffusing it, adding it to household cleaners, and massaging it into tired feet. Manuka includes the naturally occurring constituents leptospermone, copaene, and isoleptopsermone.
Whatever you do for your Mom this Mother’s Day, put some thought into it. Appreciate this journey she chose with you. Do your best; that is all that is required of you.
Many people may be without their Mothers this year because of the corvid19. I recognize this brings a new journey for you. Whether her departure was sudden or part of a longer process, be kind to yourself. Do something in her memory – big or small- you choose how to mark this new step forward.
Thanks for stopping by today. May you be blessed and strengthened on this day.
