While living in South Africa I took the opportunity to visit #ChimpEden, one of #Jane Goodall's institutes. It was sad, beautiful and once in a lifetime memory. May her soul float amongst the #stars but never die.

My #reflection prompt today is about Star Mother. How can you Mother yourself? I don't know about you but my #mother was over-critical, passive aggressive and controlling. But she was also #forgiving. What does it mean to you to Mother yourself?
