Being a mother means something different for every mom.
For me, it is my saving grace.
Having kids helped me realize how great I am. I don’t mean this in a vain sense. I mean it from a perspective of having lost myself in a dead relationship, then reviving myself after kids.
When Mo was born, I was RE-born. It was something magical about motherhood. It instantly became my innate duty to be my best self; a shining example of love and excellence.
Gradually my spirit was awakened. And slowly as if coming out of a coma, I began to remember who I was.
My wit, charm, grace, strength, intelligence all emerged. My smile finally came back.
I was now ready to help my son face the world.
After the birth of my second son, my shine and confidence were unstoppable. Afterall, I had 2 future leaders to raise.
They say mothers give their children life. 
For me, my sons brought back the life into me. For this I will always be thankful and make it my lifelong goal to give them endless opportunity, love, knowledge, and forgiveness.
Please take a moment to honor your MOM today.
I have a great mom who has always led by example. She showed me how to act like a lady and respect all beings for who they are (thank goodness my dad taught me how to swear and fart). Most importantly my mom showed me how to open my heart and mind to share and recieve love.
♥HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL THE SMART, STYLISH, AND STRONG HOT MAMAS!!!♥
