Mother's Day: What is it? When did it start?

As I sit think about writing this post, as it will post on Mother's Day, where and when did it start. Many say it is just another Hallmark holiday, they are not entirely wrong, but you will find a great article written by National Geographic last year, that describes a great background about Mother's Day. There is also an article on History that outlines not only the day and where it came from, but how it is celebrated around the world.

However, I know that there are some who have lost their mother's. With this, my dearest condolences and I know that today is hard, but as the National Geographic articles states, it all started with women mourning over the fallen soldiers of the Civil War. You have the right to mourn today also, but more importantly, remember the happy days, the good memories. Start your own new memories in honor of those who have fallen, whether they were fighting a battle of cancer, health issues, or an accident. Dwelling on them being gone will not bring them back, but bring a good memory forward can start a revolution of a new beginning of traditions and a legacy. It is better to leave a legacy, keeping history always in the forefront of this new developing era.

My question to you, is how did you celebrate and honor your mother? I would like to hear.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women today. Today, when you look around, you will see the unique things people are doing to help promote awareness of this disease and the efforts to find a cure. You cannot help be touched by all the different ways professional athletes and coaches are showing their support.

Role Models

November is National Inspirational Role Models Month . No matter your age, gender, or stage in file, having someone who inspires you to be the best version of yourself is always a positive thing.
