Good morning,

With the hectic pace of today's business life, sometimes it's tough to take out time for things that are much more important than work can ever be. I'm talking now, of course, of Mother's Day, and the other times family should take priority over your recruiting.

Have you ever been so overwhelmed with work that everything else simply flies out the door or window, whichever is closer? While I'm a firm believer of working 26 hours a day, when all is said and done, it's your family that gives to you more benefits than business ever will.

You can learn about the history of Mother's Day at:

My mom is, quite frankly, an incredible woman (my dad is quite awesome as well, I might add. :-) ). A housewife who raised three kids, she read more books than most collegiate professors and always but always took out time to answer my zillions of burning questions while allowing me to grow up at my own pace (and learn from making my own mistakes). Not only that, but it was she who suggested to me the best way to combat the economy downturn was to broaden my appeal to other industry sectors as well. One of the wisest gems I've heard.

It was from watching my mom and dad that I decided what kind of marriage and life I wanted to have as an adult. Marriage becomes successful when both people admire and respect one another, understand the flaws and weaknesses and give thanks for the strengths. Nobody is perfect in and of themselves, but everyone can be perfect for one single human being. And because of that upbringing, and what I had witnessed from my parents, I was able to create the same thing for myself (there really should be a Hubby's Day as well!).

My mom never tells me what to do, but will always offer advice about what *she* would do in similar circumstaces. And approximately 98% of the time, her ideas always turn out right! I just can't figure that out. The phrase "Mother's always right" existed 'way before she did, but she certainly does emboden it. :-)

I look back on my current accomplishments, and how a good portion of them happened because I had zero doubts of my ability. I think I owe my incredible self-confidence to my folks; no matter how ridiculous some of my exploits were when growing up, they never lost faith in me and always backed me up.

Is there a mommy in your life or a mommy-figure? If so, take the time to tell her how magnificent she is. After all, it's simply the truth.

Here's to you, Mom. If I raise my kids half as well as you raised me, I'll be superMommy.

And that's a fact.

ThankYouVeryMuch!
