Seek the Opportunities

Hi Moms!
Volunteering is a great way to share your talents.  Churches, Recreation Centers, Girl and Boy Scouts and PTA always need volunteers.  Do you have the patience to care for little ones in the church nursery? Maybe you can gather clothes for the homeless. Or maybe you have the skills to coach a softball team.  There are many opportunities to serve in your community.  Volunteering is also a great way to meet new friends.

Take a Breath

Hi Moms:

Have you ever had a bad day; you blow your top at the children, break that special crystal vase that belonged to your Grandmother; burned the roast. Just remember - Nobody is perfect, not even Moms.  We all have days when things don't go as we planned. But hang in there. Tomorrow is another day and it will be a better day. So many people have faith in you. Learn to have faith in yourself too.

Just a What?

Hi Moms:

When I strike up a conversation with a lady at the grocery store and ask her, "So what do you do?", then she says, "I'm just a Mom", it makes me cringe. Just a Mom; are you kidding!   Moms have a purpose. Moms impact the future of our next generation. Moms have the most important jobs in the world! Remember how your Mom affected your life?  Moms have power!

Children See - Children Do

Hi Moms:

Our children are great observers.  And as a Mom, you know they will follow our actions; sometimes even closer than they follow our words. When we tell our children not to tell a lie, but then ask them to tell a caller on the phone we aren't home, what's a child to think?  We are our children's first teacher. What are you teaching your children?

Take a Deep Breath

Hi Moms:

Let's be honest. Life can cause us to lose our temper! Bumper to bumper traffic, Bosses, Bullies! Everything isn't perfect and real people have real emotions. So when those emotions happen - take a walk, count to 100 or eat some chocolate. And when the issues are more serious, talk to your Pastor, see a Counselor or talk to a close friend. Find a way back to your peaceful place.

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Hi Moms:

Many of us are celebrating the vision of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today.  Dr. King was a man of purpose and service, who sacrificed his life for a better America.  So begin today to find your purpose.   Find ways to impact your home, your church or your community. Serve not just for today, but for a lifetime!
