The greatest thing I have ever learned came from my mother.
She taught me that all of us carries certain gifts that we bestow upon the world.
"God gives something to everyone."
I still hear my mom utter her patented line today. As a kid, I recalled it every time I met someone who intimidated me, or in times when I had the shallowness to pity a person.
The girl next to you in homeroom might have been a knockout, but she didn't have a sense of humor on a bad hair day.
Jimmy, your next-door neighbor, was plug as a bug in a rug, but the kid would defend your ass on the playground.
My mom is a smart lady. Her strength and goodness shine. Other stories on her to follow in the coming days.
Happy Monday!
