Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the mamas out there. No one really knows what it takes to be a mom, until you are one. I love and appreciate all the mamma's in my life. Thank you for your advice, your love, your care, and thank you for raising our future.




This is one of my favorite passages from The Prophet.

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and he bends you with his might
that his arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as he loves the arrow that flies,
so he loves also the bow that is stable.


Thank you to the people in my life who sit and listen and made my day special.


Thank you most of all to my son, who shows me unconditional love everyday. You make me a better person and you show me how to love. You have given me the gift of the world. I get to experience everything again through your eyes. The grass, the sand, the trees, and butterflies have never given me as much joy. I love you baby Arlo.
