Years ago, when I was stage managing regularly, I had an actor tell me that any children I had would be very lucky because I was such a mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a hard thought about what they said. I was a bit of a mother hen when it came to my cast and crew. I made sure that they had a safe place to work on the show. I took care of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My nurture insistence is strong. I want to encourage people to do their best and try new things to expand their world. If I can help, I will. I believe in people and their abilities even if they don\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caroline sometimes calls me Mama Bear because she knows I am protective of her and will step up when someone hurts my child. She knows I have her back and I am in her corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing that this pandemic did for my relationship with Caroline is bring us closer together. We walk every day and talk about all kinds of things. I have learned a lot from these conversations about her hopes and dreams and disappointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I have always had mothering instincts. It shows in my compassion and willingness to help Others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this Mother\u2019s Day I reflect on what it means to be a mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am grateful to all the women who taught me to be a good mother but especially my mom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
