Happy Mother’s Day! If you’re wondering why I’m showing pictures of my dear late friend, Donna Gregory WWAY, it’s because of something she shared with me after my mom died in 2022. I think it may encourage some of you today.

Donna and I shared lots of personal things. One time, I told her it pained me to walk down the grocery store aisle with greeting cards around Mother’s Day—seeing other people selecting the perfect card for their mom. Actually, I was jealous that I would never have the opportunity to buy a card again for my mom.

Donna had a way of reframing a seemingly bad situation into an opportunity. She suggested the next time I pass the card section that I buy one, two or three cards to give to other moms who probably need a pick-me-up.

She said that would be a good way to continue the tradition of buying a Mother’s Day card while also encouraging another mom to keep d**g the awesome things they’re doing—as my mom did for my brother and me. I’ve never forgotten Donna’s advice.

So, today, if your mom is living—celebrate her with a card, flowers or some other gesture of gratitude. If your mom has transitioned to her Heavenly home, do something for another mom today in honor of your mother’s legacy.

Have a great Sunday everyone and know that you are loved. 🥰

Happy birthday to Reporter Bryan Alonso!

Hope you’re having a great weekend! I’m so glad we got some rain ☔️ overnight and this morning. Daisy 🌼 approves!
