Now that I am a mother, I understand what Mother's Day is about: it's about looking through our lives and recognizing the act of mothering everywhere we see it, and more than that, recognizing that when any of us mother - when we listen, nuture, nourish, protect - we're doing sacred work.

Traditionally, Mother's Day is about thanking and honoring mothers. But this nontraditional tribute is a fine opportunity to tell my son and my daughter that I love being their mother - I always have and I always will, I am thankful that I was able to have children and be part of the miracle of life.

Louise A. Hess

I like men who have a future and women who have a past.

Oscar Wilde
