So much of motherhood is giving.Your time. Your attention. Your energy. Your heart.
But who encourages the mother?
That’s why I created these letters.
Each month, a heartfelt, research-backed letter exploring the joys, struggles, and often unspoken experiences of motherhood, woven with Scripture, understanding, and gentle encouragement.
Written from one mother to another. Delivered to your mailbox.

FROM ONE MOTHER TO ANOTHER
I’m Mercy.
I’m a Christian mom of three, a former teacher, a certified parenting educator, and the writer behind Dear Mom, It’s Okay.
For years, I’ve shared research-backed reflections on childhood, parenting, and motherhood, helping mothers understand their children and themselves with greater compassion.

Now, I’m bringing those words beyond the screen.
Each month, I sit down with my pen, Scripture, and research to write one thoughtful letter about the things mothers quietly carry.
Research suggests that repairing difficult moments between parents and children is an important part of a healthy relationship. Connection doesn’t require perfection.

“Lord, help me see the beauty in these ordinary days, find rest in Your presence, and remember that I am loved beyond what I accomplish.”
Inspired by Matthew 11:28
“Today, give yourself permission to enjoy one small moment without turning it into something productive.”
You are allowed to simply be.
