what do you want for Mother's Day?


What do you really want your partner to do or say or create or book for you to feel seen and celebrated?

Are you telling them?

Sure, you might tell them and they might not deliver, but at least then you can say you gave them a clear shot and picture that they could choose to deliver on if they wanted.

the time to tell them what you want a month from now on Mother's Day, is now.

Get clear about it yourself.
Find the ways to clearly and kindly communicate.
Do your part and see if they step in to honor you in the ways you've asked.

Love isn't mind-reading. Love is a choice to care for our person and get to know them better everyday so the way we love them gets more and more aligned with who they are.

A lot of people have been grabbing the Communication Tips for Couples lately- maybe it would help you too!

PS if you're a man reading this, hell yeah. Take this as your nudge to ask what she pictures when she imagines a great Mother's Day. Then listen.
