Mother's Day 2014

Mother's Day is about to take on a whole new level of significance for me. I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a "mom" and naturally, this has led to me thinking a lot about (and missing!) my own mom! So without further ado...a shout-out to the most fabulous, sassy, beautiful, fun mom I know!

To my mom on Mother's Day...

I love your joie de vivre. You've taught me to delight in both the meaningful and mundane.

I love the genuine empathy and care you show for everyone you encounter. You've taught me it's OK to open my heart to others and be vulnerable.

I love your sillyness. You've taught me there is great joy in letting loose, dancing, and singing out loud...just because.

I love your marriage to dad. You've taught me the best marriages are built on a foundation of trust, communication, and commitment and sustained by friendship, laughter, passion, adventure and love.

I love everything about you and I'm thankful to have you as my teacher and friend through this crazy journey of life. Happy Mother's Day to you!
