<\/div>\n

Mother\u2019s Day is a very complicated day. There are people who have lost mothers, there are people who are yearning to be mothers, there are people who struggle with being mothers, there are people who have complicated relationships with their mothers, and the list goes on. My thoughts on this is that it\u2019s important to be sensitive on this day and at the same time it\u2019s ok, and even important, for people to be able to express their gratitude and appreciation for what they have. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year I would like to focus my Mother\u2019s Day blogpost on the gratitude I have for my mother and what she\u2019s taught me. She never sat down and said \u201cthis is what I want you to know\u201d\u2026 she led by example and I feel blessed and grateful that I can share with you some of the top life lessons I\u2019ve learned from her over the years:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
  1. Faith – I have never met someone more connected and faith-driven than my mother. It\u2019s at the core of everything. I know that as Jews we all have it but it\u2019s not always visible, but with my mother you see it in everything she does. I\u2019d be lucky to be able to emulate that just a fraction. <\/li>
  2. Passion – My mother would probably be considered an introvert; she\u2019s socially warm and friendly but does not like to be the center of attention. Yet, when there is something that she believes in strongly, there is no stopping her. I so admire the passion and strength she has to stand up for what she believes is right. I\u2019ve been told that I\u2019m pretty passionate and I\u2019m proud to say I come by it honestly \u263a<\/li>
  3. Modesty – My mother has mastered the amazing combination of being modest and fashionable. She will never compromise on her standards and will always be the image of class. It\u2019s something I constantly work on and have a beautiful role model to mimic.<\/li>
  4. Attentive (attention to detail) – One of the coolest things I have learned is so subtle yet so powerful. I grew up in an open home with a ton of guests. My mother was always very attentive and the ultimate host. What blew me away (and still does) is how she really paid attention to what people liked, what food was their favorite, all the small details. When that person would return, she would always make sure to prepare the foods they most enjoyed. That made a huge impression on me. I hope that being around that kind of sensitivity, has rubbed off on me. <\/li>
  5. Do everything in the best possible way – There is no doing things halfway with my mother, there\u2019s no cutting corners. If you are going to do something, do it right! Whether it a Shabbos meal, a preschool program or a birthday party, It will always be done with class and every detail perfected. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    My mission in life is to take these wonderful lessons and be able to apply them to my life in my own unique way.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Happy Mother\u2019s Day to all! I hope everyone finds their form of peace, acceptance and comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
