At the end of the day all you have is your name. Make sure you're the best person you can be and do yourself proud.

“You give your kids two things…roots and wings"

Dan Wheeler

“My mom always told me that with God's help I could do whatever I put my mind to BUT to always, always be grateful for all my blessings!”

Rachel Boesing

"Always remember, we are all connected."

David Venable

My mother, Sarah, is my biggest cheerleader!  She has always told me that through hard work and determination ... I can achieve anything."  "I love you with all my heart, Mom!

Carolyn Gracie

"I adore my Mom...she is SO smart and the older I get, the smarter SHE gets! We talk on the phone nearly every day and she has given me tons of great advice over the years. I think the best advice from mom has been concerning being married. My husband and I have been married for 25 years, and like most marriages we've hit our rough spots along the way here and there. Mom always advised me to hang in there, be patient, to compromise when necessary and to LISTEN. Also to keep finding ways to laugh and have fun together. She also practices what she preaches.  She and Dad have been married for nearly 57 years!"

Growing up my mom always said, "Where there is a will, there is a way." I heard it so many times as a kid that I ignored it. However, as an adult, I have thought of those words countless times whenever I have felt like I couldn't do something. And she was right! Instead of giving up, there usually is a way. 

Gabrielle Kerr

“All my life my mother has given me spot on advice (too bad it took me until my thirties to start following it!).  My mom always encouraged me to see as much of the world as possible before having kids.  That's exactly what I did and I'm excited to return to some of my favorite places with my own family!”

Albany Irvin

“We were always moving around when I was growing up so my Mom always told us that kindness counts. You never know where someone may be in their life or what they might be going through, so always be kind and open to all people.”

Jane Treacy

It’s hard to choose just one. My mother always had the perfect thing to say no matter what was going on. One of my favorites is, “too much human energy is wasted upon worrying about things that never happen!”

Nancy Hornback

“The best advice my mom gave me was when I was leaving for Asia. She said, “keep your palate open”.

Alberti Popaj

My mom always told me, "try your best at everything that you do!" These words are the foundation for how I approach my work, my relationships and my faith.
