It is time to write about my Mom, who was very instrumental in my up-bringing – and is to this day. Although we are 6,000 miles apart from each other, she encourages me every single Saturday morning via the phone. You know, I have been so blessed with my parents and their commitment raising their girls with love, hope and a strong hand (that goes with it I think).
But this post is not (yet) about the love I have received from my Mom, but to announce a ‘Writing Contest’! Heather at Mom2Mom Connection is hosting the 1st annual Mother’s Love Writing Contest. Heather promised ‘Brownie Points’ if we mention the contest :grin:. Hm – should I really announce it? Now I am taking away the chance for me to win…No, not really. Because this will be an awesome contest reading about all the wonderful mom’s out there. The deadline is May 1st – so please visit Heather as soon as possible to get all the details. Looking forward reading your tribute to your Mom :smile:.
(Note about the picture – this is totally how my Mom is – laughing all the time. Sorry about the bad quality – this photo is pre-digital and not much I can do about it)
Your mom is so beautiful! What a wonderful person she must be to call you every weekend. Can you tell us about her joyful spirit? Maybe if we can learn her secrets, it will make us able to live with joy as well!
Thanks for spreading the word about the contest! I want to learn how to be a better mom by reading about great moms! 🙂
your mom is lovely! i smiled, just looking at her laughing face!
i forgot about brownie points from heather – i’ll have to mention!
… and we get to meet mom! Yay! She looks so happy and fun! I remember being away from my Mom (tho it was only 2000 not 6000 miles).
