Mother's Day

Mother's Day was especially great this year. I was able to play all day with my family and I had an inspiring conversation with my Mom on the phone. It's one of the best holidays of the year because we give thanks to the wonderful women who created us and raised us..not an easy task. I find in my profession that mothers are the LEAST taken care of demographic. They're giving so much of their love, time, and energy to loved ones (and work) that they're left feeling exhausted mentally, physically, and emotionally. One hour spent relaxing often feels like a weeks vacation to them because they have so little time alone. Please treat your Mom right! I think Mom's deserve much more than a single holiday- so tell your Mom, Grandmother, or sister how wonderful they are as much as you can! Help them out before they ask for it, offer to take them to get a pedicure, cook them dinner, and always remind them to take care of themselves...sometimes they forget. I'm so grateful to have two loving mothers in my life. They both believe in me and inspire me to be a better person. I hope that one day when I'm a mother too, I can do the same for my children. I think that it's really important that we tell our loved ones how precious they are to us all year. So, make up your own "gratitude day" and give thanks to all of the things and people in your life.

Here's to all of the amazing women in my life!
All my love, Em
