Mother’s Day

Posted on May 9, 2010 Written by Tonya

If it’s a weekday between 12:00 and 3:00 and I’m in my car, I’m undoubtedly listening to Dr. Laura. Love her or hate her, you can’t help but respect her.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s themes are protect the child, practice family unity, use sexual restraint, stop making excuses and don’t interrupt.

“Tell me what you think, not what you feel,” she says and ends every segment with “Now, go do the right thing”, a no nonsense plea cast out to her listeners intended to encourage us to be better people.

I don’t agree with everything she says, but just about and I love her no BS delivery.

Not only do I listen to Dr. Laura in the car, but I read her blog too and I swiped this quote and photo from there:

“She who forms the souls of the young is greater than any painter or sculptor.” – Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople C 347-407

I have known some wonderful mothers in my life, including my own and Mother Laura and I am proud and very humbled to be a part of this group and blessed to be your mom.

Happy Mother’s Day!

The best is yet to be.

Day 75/100
