Don’t get us wrong, we’re so thankful for the abating pandemic, but the burnout that accompanies it is real.

Do we feel comfortable no longer wearing masks?

Will we go on vacation?

We’ve gotten so used to staying home by ourselves.... will we be patient with ourselves as we relearn yet another new normal?

Feeling overjoyed is normal, but feeling hesitant and anxious is, too.

My mom, Valerie, is a phenomenal woman. I didn’t

My mom, Valerie, is a phenomenal woman. I didn’t appreciate who God blessed me with until I was an adult myself, caring for my own children and making decisions for them. I think about my priorities, my goals, and the ideas I have for my children, and I realize most of these were planted in me as a child by my mother.

My love of reading that I've passed down to my children came from her reading to me and my brother as children. My love of my local YMCA, where my children are in soccer and swimming, and also where we admire the outdoor garden, came from the hours I spent at the same YMCA as a child. My love of prayer was instilled in me as a child when my mother invited her children into her prayers and asked that we were kept safe.

Thank you, mom!

Thank you to a mother who taught me financial literacy at a young age. A mother who started a scholarship at her church in honor of her mother. A mother who sacrificed all she was for her children.

Often our parents tell us that we won’t understand things until we are older. This saying is so true. I now understand how much of a blessing my mom is to me, and I am thankful for the example she has been so that I can be the mother I am today.

Happy Mother’s Day, Valerie Shaw!
