Happy Mother's Day to Women Everywhere

You might think these words would make me the happiest . . .

"You just won the lottery!"

"Your book just made the New York Times Best Seller List!"

But these are the words I treasure most . . .

"I love you Mom."

"I love you Grandma."

"I love you Sweetheart"

There is no treasure so rare and precious as the love of a child.

Happy Mother's Day

to all women everywhere
who choose to
nurture,

encourage,

uplift,

teach

and love. 

What is the true measure of a year - or a life? 

 As we willingly care for the needs of those around us,

 we are renewed and reborn,

for real mother love transforms both the lover and the beloved.  The true value of a year or a life

is not measured by the number of our children

or by our seasons

but by our personal capacity 

to love. 

Each woman's contribution is meaningful;

each choice to love is significant and profound.
