Does Your Mom Inspire You?

“When God thought of mother, He must have laughed with satisfaction, and framed it quickly—so rich, so deep, so divine, so full of soul, power, and beauty, was the conception.” — Henry Ward Beecher

In our youngest years we drink in our mother’s love unaware of our good fortune. But the older we get, the deeper we understand the gift.

My mother turns 70 this week and for 37 years she has loved and sacrificed for me.

The older we both get, the more I understand her and appreciate all she’s done and continues to do for me, my sisters and my brother.

To me, she’s a mother, a friend, and a business partner.

She is an inspiration.

    Thanks for giving me a moment to think about the mothers who have influenced and inspired me. I want to acknowledge my friend Kathleen who most influenced and inspired my parenting. She has 10 kids, 2 by birth and the rest are either adopted or she is currently fostering them. She showed me that parenting well involved resolving whatever issues we have from our childhood. She inspired me and gave me hope that I could change and overcome the depression and other issues that were causing me to have such a tough time parenting.

    I love spending time at Christmas being grateful for all that I have. Thanks for giving me a chance to say thanks publicly to Kathleen for her amazing example and for her support and inspiration along the way!

    Thanks again for your meaningful post! Happy holidays!

    You and Susan are NOT 37! You don’t look a day over 30. For real. 🙂
