Motherhood and Daughters.

It has been said,

“Need goals?

Imagine who you want your kids to become.

Be that.”

Sometimes I am blessed to know some amazing and wonderful mothers....the kind of patient and loving women who are raising lovely daughters who understand what is really important. Smart, brilliant, beautiful girls with so much potential. Daughters and grand-daughters that exemplify the best things in life. These mothers and daughters have a bond, love that will outlast teenage angst and broken hearts, that will grow every year.

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."

— Audrey Hepburn

There are several people who I think really "had a clue" and understood what makes a woman special. It's not the bling or the hair, it's not the clothes or the car.....it's who she is at heart that makes her beautiful.

One of those women was Audrey Hepburn. I always loved the quotes that were attributed to her. I don't know if she really said these things, but from what I know of her, I wouldn't be surprised.

Which one is your favorite?

"I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."

"If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all."
