Mothers are Always Ahead of the Game

They say the month of May brings beautiful flowers. We honor the labor of mothers and appreciate their commitments to making everyday life happen for us. They may have a chore list that is longer than the annual Christmas list—that's okay! Many will serve tirelessly, not only their family but others that are nearby,

whether peers, friends, younger or older. The necessity of a mother's love creates endless story time and amazing memories that build the future in our young adults and children. Influence and manifestation of growth and maturity, with the deemed responsibility to be the one who maintains so many complex moments in life. Don't forget YOU in the process. Your health is necessary, take time for mammograms, pelvic exams with age-appropriate screenings, blood work, and know your numbers for cholesterol, sexual health, and bone density tests for the seasoned women in your life. Make a date, take someone with you who needs annual screenings, and invest in the longevity of your dedication to everyone else. Being an example to many begins with being the one to commit to self-care, nonselfishly.
