As this Mother’s day rolls around, sit back and enjoy every second of love and appreciation bestowed on you. It is a day to relax and reap all rewards of motherhood. When this occasion passes however, make a point to keep that appreciation and love flowing from within you. At end of your day, recognize contribution you have made. Focus on what you gave to your family, not what you didn’t. Value your own self worth as a person and a mother. Honor yourself daily with a few words of encouragement or another act of self-care. Take time for you. Celebrate ME in MumME because she certainly is someone to celebrate. Cheers!!!

Those who resonate with a spiritual approach may connect with words of minister, teacher and author, Mary Manin Morrissey. In a recent interview with fitness expert Suzy Prudden, Ms. Morrissey emphasized importance of discovering essence of who we really are, that is, spiritual beings having a human experience. She went on to state that self acceptance is necessary in order to lead a joyful life. Essential to that self acceptance, is recognition that we are more than sum of our roles and our experiences. "Who I am," she says, "is more than my story."

Co-founder of Association for Global New Thought, Mary has twice spoken at United Nations and co-convened conferences with His Holiness Dalai Lama. Ms. Morrissey offers an optimistic perspective on challenges of life. Happiness and freedom, she teaches, do not derive from what happens to us, but rather from what we do with what happens to us. Our ability to shape our own perspective gives us personal power to shape our experience of our lives.
