Happy Mothers Day 2017

What is a Mom?

A mom is someone who lives with her heart outside of her body.

A mom is there to love us, protect us, pray for us, guide us, give us advice, to listen to us, to take care of us 100% of the time.  No matter the weather or how she feels (since a mom's job is never done)

A mom is someone who makes you feel and look beautiful even on the days when you don't feel beautiful.  I want to thank two special mothers.

 1. My hairdresser has played a huge role in this over the years-- Thank you for all you've done for me and my hair over the years! With each hair cut and every crazy color combo I've tried, you've helped my self confidence to soar high!  Happy Mother's Day Mrs. Penny!

2. Mrs. Diana, I grew up knowing I never needed makeup to feel pretty,  but the world tries to make you doubt what you already know.  Thank you for teaching me all about makeup whIle I was in high school. You helped me learn to enhance my natural beauty, and in doing so I've gone on to help so many other girls and women.
Happy Mother's Day Mrs.Diana!

A mom is strong.

A mom is someone who takes care of you when your sick, and a lot of times takes care of you while their sick too.   A mom is someone who tries to hold an umbrella over us during our rainy seasons of life.

A shout out to a strong mom in my life is my Aunt McKenna.   She doesn't always feel the greatest and is always there for her kids.  She's also taught me that you can still be yourself and be a mom, not just one or the other.   You can still be selfish sometimes.  Treat yo self! Makeup, tattoos, concerts, Unicorns too!   Happy Mother's Day McKenna!

A mom is someone who will climb a mountain just to show you that one day you can to.

A mom is someone who helps you cross a finish line.  Someone who knows you can do something before you yourself know you can.

Dawn,  if it wasn't for you I would have been a beauty school drop out.  But you helped me face each day, you could see the end in sight for both of us.  I'll forever be grateful and blessed by knowing you. And I hope one day to be able to repay the same kindness you showed me.  I love you!
Happy Mother's Day Dawn!

Happy Mother's Day to both my grandma's!
(Face swap photo of us when I was showing you Snapchat!)
Kakki,  I know we don't get to see each other often enough, but know that I love you and the conversations we have. I'm hoping in the future to make our in person time happen more than once a year!  I'm thankful for your love and prayers.  Hope you get to relax some this mothers day.

Gammies,  you've shared so much wisdom with me it's crazy.  You've been an amazing Godly influence  that I've got to see while growing up.  You've allowed me to watch what happens when you follow God's will for your life.  And you've got the 2nd coolest job after being a mom/grandmother.  You assist women in becoming mothers all the time.    Happy Mother's Day Gammies!


Mom,  I guess 1st I should say thanks for not killing me haha! Thank you for always being there for me no matter what choices I made.  And I know it's been far from easy for you, yet you support me anyways, knowing I have to learn some things myself.    Thank you for all the times past and future for taking care of me when I was sick and throwing up.  Thank you for holding me tight as I cried tears over different people in my life. Thank you for sending me encouraging snail mail. Thank you for helping me chase and achieve my dreams. For believing I could make it.  Thank you for hiking the Appalachian Trail.  I'm so proud of you! Because of you I know I can do anything I set my mind too.
I like to believe I'm Brave like you, selfless like you, and putting others above myself because of you.  I could say so much more but I'll stop now.  Happy Mother's Day Mom,  I love you like a circle!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!

 God,  wrap your arms around the people who are sad and mourning the loss of a mother,   or the loss of being childless and not being called mother.

God is good. And God you are here with those of us in Joy and Sadness.  Thank you for loving us God.
