My kids have taught, inspired and made me a MOM.

My husband’s support, listening skills and guidance have made me a better equipped MOM.

My village of friends, family,professionals and acquaintances I met, needed and relied on have made it possible to raise our children and be a wiser, saner and perceptive MOM.

Now that our offspring are 23, almost 20 and 17, I can say with a fair amount of certainty, I know where they are headed.  Of course, you never know, but so far so good and they seem to have a pretty good start.  Certainly better emotionally and mentally prepared than I ever was at their respective ages.
