My Mama Says…

• Prayer is important. {My mother follows a ‘never-skip’,  early morning discipline in prayer and Bible reading} 
• Breakfast is your most important meal of the day {Growing up our breakfasts were like feasts loaded with fruit, nuts, eggs, cereal et al. Whew!}
• Taking time to look good always boosts your self confidence. {Isn’t it amazing how transformed a simple haircut can make you feel}
• If you have a problem, don’t waste your time talking to everybody. Go straight to the “Top Guy” and sort it out. {My sister and I always knew if someone “messed” with us they had Mama Tiger to deal with!}
• Your education is something nobody can steal from you. {Her persistence to ensure I finished my M.B.A. before I got married didn’t seem fair at the time. But today I appreciate her stand 100%!}
• Eating right as a child has its benefits when you’re an adult. {Yes Ma, I see the wisdom in that now. Though the fruit shakes, almonds and piles of veggies weren’t something I looked forward to growing up}
• Family is important. Take the time to introduce your children not just to the immediate family but also to their extended family.
• Always have a little “black bag” packed with essential documents/papers. God forbid if there ever be an emergency, you just need to grab that bag and run out of your home!
• Life is short. Make the most of each day.

Thank You Ma for your wisdom, love and example over the years. Though I may not say it as often as I should, you need to know that you are appreciated, honored and loved not just on Mother’s Day but every day.
