This month, we celebrate Mothers. We celebrate the women who gave us birth and those who raised us. For some of us, this is the same person. For others of us, there have been several key women in our lives. This month, especially on Mother’s Day, we celebrate the women who nurtured us in our childhood and those who lovingly support us today as well. On a personal note, I honor my birth mother whose name I do not know. I honor my adoptive mother, Nancy Dean, who raised me, loved me, and taught me many of the skills and arts that make me successful today. I love you, Mom!

Challenge of the Month:

Each day, consciously choose to be a “mother” to someone in some way. Share loving words of encouragement. Read a bedtime story (doesn’t have to be to a child). Create something special. Kiss a boo boo. Listen to someone share about his or her day.
