This Week...Thank You to My Mother and the Many Mother-Influencers in My Life
To all of the mothers and mother-influencers out there...I thank you for all of the sacrifices and love that you have showered on us.
I have been so lucky to have had not just my mother in my life but a strong grandmother, many aunts, and other women who I like to call mother-influencers.
Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. Barbara Kingsolver
I learned and was influenced by each of them. My mother taught me to find a gift for someone that they want but wouldn’t or couldn’t buy for themselves.
Life doesn't come with a manual, it comes with a mother.

One of my aunts loved purses and jewelry. Thus my rather large purse collection! I also learned from her how to be fierce and stand up for what I wanted.
Mother's love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.
Erich Fromm
My first neighbor in Florida, while not old enough to be my mother, was very much like a mother to me. I can’t even begin to list everything I learned from her. But one thing I did learn was to laugh and make the most out of any situation you find yourself in.
Looking back at the mothers who have influenced me I learned that one trait they all seemed to share was an abundance of patience.
If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands? Milton Berle
Happy Mother’s Day and celebrate all mothers and mother-influencers you know!
