Calling all mothers: Surround yourself with the support of women who love you. Allow these special people to honor you with their help. There is nothing as inspiring, motivating, and confidence building as being the recipient of the love and support of other mothers, friends, and colleagues. Their energy will inspire and encourage you to live out your priorities each day. Your greatest barrier will be to let others help you. Be kind to yourself and say, “Yes,” to support. You and your family are worth it!
It’s easy to love thy neighbor when thy neighbor is friendly, yet how are you treating those people in your life who aren’t the easiest to get along with? Your role model here is an important one. How you manage the “unmanageable” sends a powerful message to your kids. Tolerance and kindness are two virtues that your kids need to learn in spades as they learn how to get along with others. Who better than you to teach them?
Make today a do-over. No matter how exhausting, frustrating, or overwhelming yesterday was, look to today to start fresh. Be kind to yourself and give yourself grace to look forward. Forgive yourself for losing your patience, for not completing your to-do list, and for rushing through those moments that you wished you would have cherished. Life is too precious to get hung up on what could have been or should have been. You are blessed to have today to start over. Make it a great day!
Your life as a Mother is richer than any life you could have ever imagined. Your spirit is encouraging, your voice–nurturing, and your touch–healing. You have been entrusted to love, enrich, and guide your children to love, honor, and celebrate life. Your family is a miracle. Enjoy yourself today, give yourself grace going forward, and “live the life you want your children to live.” Make it a wonderful day… Happy Mother’s Day!
One day you are going to wake up and discover that life is too short and your time too precious to care about what people think.Close your eyes and ears to all the chatter out there and own who you are. Most importantly, what do you value? What matters to you? Did you honor your values and beliefs today by making choices that mirror your heart, mind, and spirit? Make yourself proud of you, support your partner, family, and friends, and love, nurture, and guide your kids. You do this, and you will thrive.
Live the life you want your kids to live! One day you will wake up and your kids will be grown and on their own. Your window of opportunity to influence them is short. When you live your life to mirror those values that you hold dear, be they your faith, moral fiber, character, work ethic, joy for life, or ethics, your kids see those virtues in action. They learn by watching you walk the walk. Start walking with your head held high. Your kids and their friends are watching
