Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who inspires me every day. Through every challenge and triumph, she has shown me what true strength, kindness, and resilience look like. Her unwavering support and belief in me have been my guiding light and her ability to face life’s ups and downs with grace motivates me to be better. I’m so grateful for the example she sets and the love she gives.
Happy mother's day everyone❤️
Happy mother's day everyone❤️
My mother is a great inspiration and helps me along with whatever I want to do. She has done so much for me and helps around the house with cooking and helping constantly. She watches one of my tricks almost every night and is helping me along with whatever I want to do. I am so happy to have a mother as good as her. Happy mothers day to everyone!
What inspires me most about my mother is her unwavering strength and kindness. No matter what challenges life throws her way, she faces them with grace, patience, and determination. She always puts others before herself and shows me the true meaning of compassion. Her ability to stay positive and support those around her, even during difficult times, motivates me to be a better person every day.
My mother has been a constant source of inspiration to me. When I was young, she told me something I've never forgotten: "You can be anything you want to be -- but be the best at it."
I've seen her follow her own advice for years. She makes jewelry, and just today (when I called her for Mother's Day!) she told me how she is planning to rent a new space in the town next over to sell pendants, charms, and other accessories. I've seen her wear all kinds of hats: she's had businesses that focus on rubber stamping, food production, and card-making. She's happiest when she is growing and creating something, and even as I write this in my late 30s, I still look up to her because she is so enterprising with her talents.
When she was younger, her parents didn't support her like they supported her brothers. She has always been a creative spirit and grew up in a family that didn't always see the world through the same lens of art, music, and magic that she did (and does). Today, as a teacher, I try to put her advice into action every day. Some of my students are growing up in families that love them but don't necessarily encourage their creative ways of seeing the world. It's because of my mother that I do want to encourage them, to let them know that they should trust themselves and chase their dreams at the same time as they are chasing a practical paycheck.
I'm surely not the best teacher in the world, but I try to be because of what my mom said to me so many years ago. I hope and believe that my students are grateful that there's at least one adult in their life who will support their vision. I do it because of my mother and the inspiration she's passed along to me.

My mom inspires me because she’s basically a real-life superhero. She can fix anything, cook everything, and somehow still find time to cheer me on in whatever crazy idea I’m chasing. She shows me that being strong doesn’t mean being serious all the time — it’s about laughing through the chaos and never giving up. I hope I grow up to be even half as cool as her.
Congrats Ryann! Your post was selected at random as the winner for this week's contest, and we absolutely loved what you wrote about your mother. Kindness, patience, grace, staying true to yourself, lifting others up - those are qualities we should always strive to live out day by day.
It was so amazing to read what each and every one of you wrote, and we are so thankful to have them be a part of our lives. We hope everyone has a great weekend ahead, and see you tomorrow for a new contest!
