A Mother’s Day Message of Love & Gratitude
Sunday, May 10th, 2009
Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.
~ Marion C. Garretty
Girlfriends, I’d like to introduce you to my beautiful, charming, sparkling mother, Phylis. Some of you may already know her from our ybf Pajama Party at Sea 2008 or from her recent appearances on HSN alongside my sister Tracey – both of them glowing, smiling and personifying beauty that emanates from within.
But even those of you who have never before set eyes on my mom know her better than you may think. You see Phylis every time I am on the air - going on TV without any makeup, connecting with girlfriends, enjoying a laugh with my network hosts - because she is the one who taught me to believe in myself, set aside my fears and embrace others with open arms. Mom is the one who taught me about self-sufficiency and self-approval. Mom always gave me the chance to push myself to achieve the unexpected.
If I am able to pass on to my girls a fraction of what my mom has given me, then I will feel at peace with my role as “Mom” in their precious lives.
I love you so much, Mom! Thank you for everything! Happy Mother’s Day!
OXO - your grateful daughter,
Stacey
P.S. – Happy Mother’s Day to all my beautiful, sparkling mommy girlfriends! You’re the fuel!
