I have been so blessed throughout my life to be surrounded by amazing women;mothers, grandmothers, surrogate mothers and yet to be mothers. As a girl, my image of what it meant to be a woman was formed by wise, kind, strong woman. The mothers all around our small rural community were mothers to all the neighborhood kids. Grandmothers and aunts barely distinguished between their own and the extra kids that were always around and under-foot.

I count my mom and sisters among my greatest blessings…
and my daughters, along with my sweet son, are God’s greatest gifts to me.
Girlfriends are priceless; and mine, like my sisters, are wonderfully CRAZY!
So to women everywhere, past, present and yet to be – Happy Mother’s Day and God bless.
