The title of this post, has been been my plea for help, for about a month now. Hoping someone smarter than me can tell me why I have slacked off on sending cards. I don’t know why, maybe it’s close to fathers’ day and I get a little lazy and start to forget about the “Honey Do Listssssss”. I really don’t know the answer.

I could slow down and work on the things that matter to me. That is pretty simple, God, my family, and icecream. I need to make those three things my legacy. I was listening to a speaker about a week ago and he stated that “the legacy he wanted to leave behind was that he treated all people with respect and that he loved them unconditionally”. I said Hmmm, then I thought about the statement again, whispered openly to myself (its’ okay, I do it allllll the time) I would like that to be said about me. Who wouldn’t?

Today I make a promise to you before God and man to write and send a card today. I will furthermore write and send a greeting card tomorrow night and for 21 days on a continuous basis.

I was told that it takes the human mind to do something 21 days in a row in order to form a habit. Do you dare join me? I’ll be waiting. Send a card to change a heart.

Warmest Regards

As I remember this Mothers Day sitting at my desk, thinking of all the good, bad, difficult and brilliant times my mom and I had together, I smile. I smile because I can see her smile. I see her laughing vibrantly while gently picking me up and off the ground after I had fallen from my bike. Smiling and encouraging me to get up and ride again. Those were the good old days. I remember when she went into a deep depression when my Father died. Yes, she bounced back from those dark days and I know she did it for her children. All six of us still needed her to be our “Mom”, to love us even when she didn’t feel love. Those were difficult times.
It has been many years since I have physically seen my mom smile. As a matter of fact it has been 27 years, 4 months and 20 days since my mother passed away. At the time I didn’t know how to feel. All I knew was that she had suffered for many years from a chronic case of Asthma. I knew I didn’t like to see her in pain and as crazy as it sounds, death releases pain. I managed to convince myself and all that were within my circle of influence that she was in a better place and that I was okay. I was wrong. I was not okay and I limped through life with that statement pinned to my forehead everytime Mothers Day came around. Not anymore.

Today I offer this post as an “Olde to my Mom”, hopefully inspiring millions to send a Greeting Card to Moms all over the world. A Greeting Card for My Mother on Mothers day, proudly saying, “I love you Mom”. I can see her smile, I can feel her love, I can hear her vibrant laughter and I am happy because my mom is the happiest she has ever been sitting in heaven and smiling down on me.
