But behind all your stories, is your mother’s story, for hers is where yours begins.
-Mitch Album

Happy Mothers’ day to all of the moms out there!  The new moms, the in the trenches moms, the empty nester moms, the moms who have experienced child loss, and those of us who can’t hug our moms today!

In honor of Mother’s Day we are talking about your mother’s stories and the impact they have had on your own life.  I know my mom’s story has had a huge impact on who I am and how I live my life.

My mom knew how to  find the faith, magic and joy in everyday life.  As a child I never knew all of the challenges my mom had faced throughout her life.  I had no idea how much her mindset had helped her to live her short life so fully and I certainly had no idea how it would help me to get through my darkest hours.

This episode offers a few prompts for stories you can write in honor of your mother.  These can be to share with her as a gift or gathered among other stories to share with future generations or current loved ones.
