Experiencing a love that I had never felt before. A love that made me even more open-hearted & appreciative of life. Especially the lives of my sons. Helping them achieve their dreams. My oldest son loved music, I rented his first bass & amp to play in bands. Music also lead him to be a Pro DJ. My younger son hoped for a skateboard. I bought him one. He won lots of contests, became a pro skateboarder & even a pro snowboarder. Love & support went a long way. Being their Mom has been the greatest

To not let the small, or big stuff, get you down. It's all temporary. The messes are too. Enjoy the ride as nothing is more important than being present for your children. Nothing. They are a gift. One day they will be grown and go out on their own. So hang on to every moment. I like to say, I gave my sons life, but in reality, they gave me life. Not one boring moment.

Give a portion to my sons to help with their businesses. Another portion to my granddaughter's college fund. And then a donation to the Asher House where dogs are rescued from last minute euthanasia. I have loved dogs my entire life and have adopted all of mine from a shelter. Saving them means a lot to me. I'm also a Dog Mom.
