Celebrating Mom

" The mother is the first guru."
-The Upanishads

Whether you are planning to be a mom, have kids of your own or can just appreciate the sacrifices made by your own mother, May is a great month to celebrate the spirit of generosity.

Generosity comes in many flavors: a nice meal for a loved one, complimenting a stranger, giving up your seat on the subway or just listening. Being generous to yourself is also an important aspect of life-one that too often goes overlooked while busy taking care of others needs.

To celebrate Mother's Day Ancient Current® is offering specials for the whole month of May.
