So Mother's day is upon us and I'm wondering.....what do your mother's mean to you? My mother passed away 10 years and 2 weeks ago. She was brilliant (NYU educated), stunningly pretty, incredibly progressive and political and taught me lessons I will never forget. She told me I was smart and beautiful every single day. And happily, more often than not, I believe that to be true. She worked tirelessly with the less fortunate spending every spare second that she wasn't at one of my gymnastics classes or ballet recitals tutoring inner city children and teaching her 7th grade Hell's Kitchen classes the rhythmic stanzas of Shakespeare. It was she who taught me to never dumb myself down for a man, to always be refined and knowledgable in conversation and to read more than the person sitting next to me. I'd like to believe she'd be proud of me today. I'm not sure I've succeeded in all aspects of my life, but I'm happy and to her my happiness was paramount. And maybe me writing would fulfill a dream for her, so this is my mother's day gift to her this year.....
I hope that you all spend this weekend with the women that have inspired and taught you. I know I am.
xoxo,
Sophia |

Your mamacita is proud beyond the realms of here and now, above and beyond, over and under, this way and that! Thanks for making me smile on this, my first, Mother's Day! And yes, you have inspired me to aspire to be a mom like your was!
