Born This Way

  

Years before Lady Gaga belted this tune on the airwaves this was one of my Mother's favorite wise sayings. When my first nephew was born she noticed how he was so particular about certain things. How he liked his blanket, it had to be certain way one side specifically facing him. She often said that about me!

Today and everyday I'm so grateful for the lessons that my Mother has taught me. I see her lessons repeated in my nephews as I watch them grow up. My sisters and I have all chuckled at our 'born identity' and how we have adopted so many of our Mother's traits.

Salt of the Earth

My Mother is the salt of the earth. 

'The salt of the earth' was first published in English in Chaucer's Summoner's Tale, circa 1386, although Chaucer undoubtedly took his lead from Latin versions of the Bible:

"Ye been the salt of the erthe and the savour"

The Chinese character for heart always makes me smile. It looks like a smiling face. My Mother has a great sense of humor and makes me smile.


“To forget one's ancestor's is to be a brook without a source, a tree without root”



Selfless passionate soul. Proud to call you my Mom! In honor of Mother's Day we celebrate all Mother's and the wonderful lessons they share with us with all of their children!
