Celebrating Mother’s Day: I’m in the Book!
Great news! As an official co-author of The Gratitude Book Project: Celebrating Moms and Motherhood, I want to share my gratitude with you!
I was so excited to take part in this book. This week is officially book week for me. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the absolute love and support of my mother. Even as I was heading off to music school, mom was saying,"You should be a publisher. You should be a writer." Mom paved my path to make sure all of this would happen.
When I was approached by Donna Kozik, the book project founder about writing a story about my mom, I said "Yes" immediately.
My entry is about my mother's finesse for dressing her children appropriately in all kinds of weather. "There is no such thing as bad weather" she would say," only inappropriate clothing". I can assure you we were dressed perfectly for any type of weather.
Inspiring stories from the book also include:
The Ritual, by Maureen Huntley
Maureen writes in appreciation about “the ritual” that her and her mother would not miss: getting manicures, pedicures and Starbuck’s lattes and then enjoy the sailboats drifting across the lake. Two best friends that adored every last minute together, and not taking a single moment for granted.
And also:
A Drop of Love, by Laura Accardo-Williams
Laura expresses her gratitude towards her mother for giving her the capability to love her son so much. Her mother passed on a “life-long legacy of love” to her which makes her want to honor her mother today, and everyday, because of her capacity to love. As a mother, her love has blossomed so much that what she felt as a child, was merely a “drop” of what she feels now.
I like to think that this book is the perfect gift for the special women in your life!
