A Mom / Mom-Like Tribute!

For all of the moms, stepmoms, grandmothers, aunts, foster moms, mentors, and other amazing women who are raising, nurturing, coaching, and mentoring children, Happy Mother’s Day Week!

There is no greater gift than positively influencing a child’s life. As Abraham Lincoln said, “All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

Throughout Mother’s Day Week, take time to reflect on how amazing you are!  Mom’s (and mom-like-parents) are kind, caring and compassionate. Determined, dependable and patient. Smart, generous and resourceful. Loving, nurturing and protective.

The significant impact mothers have is eloquently penned by Mitch Albom in his book, FOR ONE MORE DAY, “But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”

Are we perfect? We may not think so…however, we do our very best, which makes us perfect for the needs of our children in each moment. “A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s.”—Princess Diana

This week, take some time to recognize your amazing self and all that you do. You don’t need others to give you this recognition, self-appreciation and self-love are the best! Give yourself a pat on the back, treat yourself to something special, and take time throughout the week to do things you enjoy. Most of all celebrate how special you are…nurturing, mentoring and positively influencing a child’s life is a beautiful gift, not only to your child but to humanity as well!

To all of the magnificent mom’s and mom-like women around the globe, I wish you a beautiful, bright and blessed week!
