This past weekend was mother’s day.
My mom had a tremendous impact on me.
She taught me to be fearless.
How to take responsibility for my contribution to any argument.
How to be an activist and to advocate for what is right.
And how to love unconditionally, even people I don’t necessarily agree with.
As a mom myself, I try to instill these same lessons in my son.
Am I succeeding? I hope so.
My son is only 9 so he still has a lot of learning and living to do.
As hard as it is, I think being a mom is one of the most important things I have ever done.
So to all you fellow moms out there – thank you.
Thank you for being part of the sisterhood of moms which I get to share with and commiserate with and learn from.
