Mentor...

Everyone in life should be assigned a mentor while growing up if you don't have one. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a register to be able to sign up if you need one and receive your very own mentor to help you in your life. For me, not growing up with anyone to really be there to guide me, answer questions, boost my confidence, be my cheerleader, serve as a role model, I've found it hard so many times in my life to move forward and try thing or be adventurous. I have this beautiful woman helping me, guiding me, nudging me ever so gentle, and just being my genuine friend and it is truly wonderful. It's hard to describe what it feels like to have someone do that for you, when it's something they don't have to do. To give of themselves so lovingly to benefit another... a gift that is priceless!

A Mother...

~ Happy Mothers Day ~ 

I love Mothers Day not for the breakfast in bed, not for the thoughtful gift, but that it's a day that celebrates the best job in the world! Growing up, there is nothing I wanted to do or be then a mother. The choices I made throughout my life didn't always work out like I'd planned and my vision of what kind of mother I wanted to be had to be altered, but I was still the best mother I could and that is good enough.  I love offering those in need of a little "extra mothering" that special touch that only a mother can give. And it doesn't matter who they are, we all want our moms and to be loved ~ there is enough LOVE for everyone.
