On the morning of May 3, the CNY Rise Center brought together women from across the community for a joyful and inspiring Mother’s Day celebration. The event, held as a spring-themed Ladies’ Breakfast, offered a meaningful space to honor the strength, grace, and everyday impact of mothers and women.

The morning began with a peaceful yoga session, offering attendees a chance to center themselves and set a calm, intentional tone for the day. From there, guests gathered around beautifully decorated, flower-themed tables for warm conversation and connection. Each table blossomed with laughter, heartfelt stories, and moments of genuine sisterhood.

Adding to the richness of the experience, several women from the group shared personal reflections during the event. Their stories—offered with honesty, courage, and love—captured the diverse experiences of motherhood and womanhood. These community voices created an atmosphere of shared understanding and deep connection.

The event also featured a heartfelt talk by a guest speaker, who spoke to the quiet strength and grace that women carry every day. Her words, alongside those of the participant speakers, reminded everyone of the resilience, compassion, and unity that bind women together across generations.

As the morning concluded, attendees left feeling inspired, uplifted, and reconnected—with themselves and with one another. The celebration was not only a tribute to mothers, but a reflection of the vibrant, supportive community that the CNY Rise Center nurtures year-round.
