Hello and Welcome May!
Recently I traveled to North Carolina to celebrate the life of an aunt very dear to me. I thought about her influence on my life, her generous spirit , loving example, and how simply spending time with her helped shape me. Her legacy lives on in me, in her daughter, and in those whose lives she touched. Never underestimate the difference we can make in someone else's life. In addition to time with family, I spent a few solitary days in the mountains and was once again reminded of the gifts of beauty, simplicity, a slower pace, and the presence of God.
May presents us with many reasons to celebrate, one of them being Mother's Day. For some, this day is special and filled with love and time with family. For others, it can be very challenging or lonely. Who has God placed in your life to help shape you into who you are today? Moms may look different to each of us, but whether a biological, adoptive, or spiritual mother, an aunt, friend, grandmother, friend's mother, teacher or mentor - regardless of their role - we all have a mother who gave us life and a woman who nurtured that life. Wishing a Happy Mother's Day to all of the women who have helped shape us!
