Growing up, I was blessed to be surrounded by three beautiful, stylish, talented, wise and incredibly resilient women: my grandmother, my aunt, and most importantly…my mother.  These are my muses, the women who shaped the person I am today.  Even though my grandmother is no longer with us, her teachings still linger within me, as her legacy continues.  My mother’s sister, my cherished aunt, was my best friend & my confidante, always enveloping me in her boundless love and never too tired to play. My mother…as I get older, the more I begin to understand her and feel our bond expanding. Her wisdom, her compassion, her tireless devotion to family – this is who I strive to be, and I could not have had a better role model. I love you mom…

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MY MOM & TO ALL MOTHERS !
