So Much to Celebrate in May!

Welcome to May — a month bursting with meaning, beauty, and purpose!

Named after the Greek goddess Maia, the month of May has long been associated with growth, motherhood, and new beginnings.  From Cinco de Mayo to Mother’s Day, Mental Health Awareness to Women’s Health Month, and even Foster Care Appreciation to Memorial Day, May invites us to honor the stories that shape us — both the joyful and the solemn — and to celebrate the strength and resilience that live in every woman.

Spring is in full bloom, and with it comes a gentle reminder: slow down, breathe deeply, and take time to smell the flowers. Sometimes we’re so focused on what’s next, we forget to pause and recognize how far we’ve already come.

So this month, I encourage you to reach out to a sister, a friend, a colleague, or your mother. Remind her how powerful she is. Uplift her. Celebrate her. And above all, remind her that her light — no matter how big or small — makes the world brighter.

Here's to new beginnings, to blooming boldly, and to continuing to rise — together.

With love and gratitude,
