Happy Mother's Day....

Today, Moms are celebrated and greeting card and flower shops recognize an increase in revenue. We shouldn't, however, dedicate just one day to such an honored assignment, but find ways each day to remind Moms of their special place in our hearts.

Mothers aren't just women who've given birth to a child. They are the warriors who step in and nurture every soul that they come in contact with. They will fight a bear on your behalf and challenge you to become the very best version of who you came here to be.  Yes, Mothers are more than we give them credit for.....

I am honored to be called "Mom" by my son and daughter and hope they know with each day of their lives that I love them with every part of my being. They are grown, yes, but I still think of them each morning, throughout the day and before I fall asleep each night, I say a prayer for them.  I'm always wondering whether they've eaten properly, flossed, had enough water, etc.....Yes, that list goes on and on and I continue to cheer each and every effort of whatever they attempt and excel at.

Today, honor the Mothers who have nurtured and encouraged you, fought for you, stood by you and smiled at you and reminded you to simply keep your head up and journey on. Honor the women who told/tell you that you were/are beautiful, loved and special and that you could/can achieve whatever you set your mind to do.  Honor the stranger who smiled/smiles at you and you never knew/know her name.  Today, honor the spirit of Motherhood and all that it brings.

Today, I'm grateful that Love transcends our physical limitations of hugs, hand-holding and kisses......Today I am embraced by my Mother and her spirit which resides in my heart each and every single day - Happy Mother's Day!
