“Suddenly” has recently become my newest mantra and philosophy. A few weeks ago, I was talking with my mom and she relayed a conversation and trigger word that her big brother shared with her (don’t we just love big brothers).
Suddenly.
My mom is my best friend. She’s the most beautiful woman both inside and out. I am so grateful for the mother and woman she is, the person she (and my father) raised me to be and for the precious relationship we share. Today is my Mom’s BIRTHDAY and it’s one of those milestones that end in a zero!!
In honor of my mom, I wanted to share the following clip from a TED Talk that came through my email last week. It stuck my heart so big and I’ve been chomping at the bit to share it because it makes me think of her wishes for me and the unconditional love, support and shelter she gives.
I also thought it was most timely to share this clip in conjunction with Mother’s Day just around the corner; it’s titled “If I Should Have A Daughter” by Sarah Kay.
Happy Mother’s Day to ALL Mom’s this weekend and a VERY Happy Birthday to my beautiful mom and best friend. Thank you for all that you do and all that you are. Cheers to sharing another year of big and small moments together and everything in between… (“Suddenly”)
Love you so much,
Your Baby Girl
Ps. I know, I know… “you love me more” 
Inner strength begins to grow when we get to know ourselves. When we know what we want, when we stand for what we deserve and when we believe in what we’re capable of doing.

“Life. Find a passion and pursue it. Fall in love. Dream big. Drink wine, eat great food and spend quality time with good friends. Laugh everyday. Believe in magic. Tell stories. Reminisce about the good old days but look with optimism to the future. Travel often. Learn more. Be creative. Spend time with people you admire. Seize opportunities when they reveal themselves. Love with all your heart. Never give up. Do what you love. Be true to who you are. Make time to enjoy the simple things in life. Spend time with family. Forgive even when its hard. Smile often. Be grateful. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Follow your dreams. Try new things. Work hard. Don’t count the minutes count the laughs. Embrace change. Trust in yourself. Be thankful. Be nice to everyone. Be happy. Live for today. And above all, make every moment count.”
Each day begins fresh with little noise and a sky full of color. Do not carry too much of yesterday into today. Create and enjoy your own fabulous day and while you’re at it, contribute to someone else’s as well
Wow, I feel the need to get reacquainted within this first blog post. It feels like I’m writing for the first time and needless to say, it feels so good to write again.
