Today I did an interview on The Ladies Room with Lolis, talk Radio in Austin Texas; I was one of 3 guest. One of the guests was Julia Cuba, Girl Stout Troop Leader, for Troop 1500. I don’t know if any of you have heard of troop 1500, it is a National Program.I was so impressed; I decided to check out their Web Sites.  Troop 1500 was very interesting. The girls in Troop 1500 have mothers in prison, and the Troop leaders make sure that the girls maintain a relationship with their moms.The major goal of Troop 1500 is to strengthen the bond between mother and daughter in order to break the cycle of crime.  It got me thinking about how important mothers are.  I lost my mother when I was 26 years old at a very critical time in my life.  I know what’s it like to be without a mother. I have 2 girls 29 and 30 years old, that I believe would feel a loss without me.  I see my friends having lunch, shopping or just connecting with their mother’s everyday, and it makes me know that my lose is big. So how important are mothers? When we are little, our sense of self, who we are, comes from our mother’s. We watch our Mom, to see how to be.  I am so grateful to be a part of my daughter’s lives and to participate as a mother. If you are a daughter or a mother, I would love to hear your thoughts about being either one. As the holidays creep up, I always have many moments thinking about mother/daughter relationships. I would love to remind each and everyone of you to stand in gratitude for your mothers and to let them know always how important they are to you.
