1-Hour Retreat: Mother's Day
If you're a mama, this could be the hour you need!
Here’s a picture of me with the amazing girl who made me a mama. Fun fact: That little girl is heading off to college in the fall.
And here’s a picture of me with my mama.
Fun fact: That little girl is me. My mama is pulling thorns out of my hands minutes after she told me, “Lorrie, don’t touch the cactus!” God bless my Mom. She’s 88 and is still going strong!
This Mother’s Day, I thought it might be nice to offer my mama readers a 1-Hour Retreat. I hope sixty minutes of rest and reflection offers you whatever is needed! You can do this retreat on Mother’s Day, but that’s not required. Do it whenever you like!
If you’re new to 1-Hour Retreats, here’s a detailed overview with tips and explanations about the format.
For quick reference, here’s a visual overview.

Readings:
“On the Back Porch” by Dorianne Laux
“What Mother’s Say” and “Fortune Telling” are from What Kind of Woman by Kate Baer.
Hand in Hand by Monica Falso. This is a picture book written by the daughter of one of my very best friends. Reading it will touch your heart and inspire you to think of memories with your mom, your child, or a favorite human who experienced adventures with you, hand in hand.
For those of you who would like a faith-based blessing, here is Kate Bowler’s “A Blessing for Mother’s Day.”
I hope you find a place, time, and mental space for your very own 1-Hour Retreat this month. I’ve already notified my family about my 1-hour porch reservation on Mother’s Day.
Now to plan the treat I’ll bring along. Sweet, savory, or both? That’s fun to ponder until my set-aside hour arrives.
The next 1-Hour Retreat theme is SUMMER and it’s available here on June 6th. Share with anyone who might enjoy a magical hour!
Let’s hang out in the CHAT with quick comments and reflections before the people we love call us back.
