The One Gift to Give Your Mom/Esteemed Female

If you read The Mom Handbook a few days ago, you would have read how we, as Moms are the experts on holding onto our "failures" in child rearing. Those moments when even decades later,we want to hang our heads in shame about how we reacted.

(Hint: take a Time Out for every one you give your child.)

Today I will ask you to give something to your Mom/Esteemed Female that only you can give. Call her/email her/Skype or FaceTime with her and tell her one happy memory of your time together. It could be anything that touched and filled your heart with love.

• How she made you the best Princess Halloween costume one year. Was it pink with sparkles?
• How she dropped you a block away from the party so you could retain your independent dignity.
• Maybe how she raced from the airport to attend your cello recital.
• Or sitting and colouring with you all rainy afternoon while you had the chicken pox.

Tell your Hero today! Tell her what she did that still sticks with you. Tell her that you remember her humour/kindness/wisdom/tenacity and what it means to you today.

It will be a Gift that only you can give her. It will be priceless. A Gift that will mean more to her than you know.
