Not a mother?  Read on.

This week-end we will honor mothers.  Mothers are the breath of life.  We are born from the womb of our mother.

However, she may not be the one who is there to raise us.  For numerous reasons we may be raised by someone who did not give birth to us. – And this person becomes our mother, the one we turn to for oh so much in life.

Even those who do have a mother in the home are often raised at least partially by someone else.   We have many mother figures in our lives.  These are women who guide, mentor, encourage, support and advise us.  They are our role models for relationships, work, finance, education, health, and savoir-faire.   These women are equally precious in our lives.

Are you one of these women?  Then you too are to be honored on this Mother’s Day.   You have an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of young girls and women of all agesthrough your example and your interest in helping them become confident and to reach their greater potential.  –  And there is no age limit for this.

Women with age esteem mentor other women of all ages.
