Spunky, Fiesty and Smart trump Submissive, Docile and Ignorant any day
Size does not matter if one is mighty in one's soul
Sometimes a road block really does simply mean
that's not the road you're supposed to take
When God closes a door, he always opens a window
Never pogo stick on gravel
Play...a lot
Sewing doesn't make one domestic--it makes one useful
...it also helps keep family members from getting lost.
Making meatballs for your daughter--even though you really do not
enjoy the task--makes your daughter feel pretty darn special when she walks
in the door for lunch and sees meatballs.
Being your child's biggest supporter and fiercest defender
is a pretty Big Thing in parenting
Never waste an opportunity to celebrate
Birthdays are Very Important Days
Allow your child to make mistakes--even if they're super dooper big ones
Love unconditionally
Reveal your own mistakes and weaknesses
Show fear
Show courage in the face of that fear
Go about the impossible with fierce tenacity
Enjoy the moment when the impossible has been made possible
Goals and dreams are attainable--without sacrificing family
Take care of yourself--inside and out
Follow your heart
Follow your own rhythm
"Bloom where you're planted"
Be impulsive
Have Faith
Be faithful.
Thanks, Mama...I am, indeed, a blessed daughter.
Happy Mother's Day!

Beautiful post, lovely sentiments and great pics! (happy mothers day to you!)
LOVELY!! Oh, and ... "Never pogo stick on gravel" ... true, but SO hilarious.
What a great tribute to your mother and I love the pictures! I especially love the plaid suits. You gotta love "Never pogo stick on gravel".
Happy Mother's day Dori!
Not too many years ago my mom showed up at my house after spending the day with my sister and her younguns...sporting a lovely black eye. My oldest nephew was showing off his pogo stick skills and Kokoo just had to try it...bounced off of the grass and onto the gravel drive. Years from now I hope I have the good sense to not act my age either!
once again, speechless...
It has been a fairly profound week, hasn't it. Hope you didn't mind the pictures...probably should have asked you first.
What a sweet post!
