Heart of a Mother

For all those who are and have a mom, entrepreneur or not, in conjunction with the coming Mother's Day, I'm sharing this... beautiful, beautiful words, sound and images that just touch the soul and draw warm tears to the eyes.

It begins like this...

"The moment a child is born,
   the mother is also born.

She never existed before.
The woman existed,
   but the mother, never.

A mother is something
   absolutely new."  - Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

"Making a decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide
   forever to have your heart go
      walking around outside your body."  - Elizabeth Stone


"A mother is she who
   can take the place of all others
      but whose place no one else can take."  - Cardinal Mermillod

"The heart of a mother
   is a deep abyss at the bottom of which
      you will always find forgiveness."  - Honore de Balzac

"It's not what you do for your children
   but what you have taught them to do for themselves
      that will make them successful human beings."  - Ann Landers

"A mother holds her children's hands for a while,
   but their hearts forever."  - Author unknown

"A hundred years from now it will not matter
   what my bank account was,
      the sort of house I lived in,
         or the kind of car I drove,
   but the world may be different because
         I was important in the life of a child."  - Forest E Witcraft

"The greatest gift you can give your children
   are roots of responsibility
      and wings of independence."  - Denis Waitley

And it ends with...

"Before you were conceived,
   I wanted you.
Before you were born,
   I loved you.
Before you were here an hour,
   I would die for you.
This is a miracle of life."  - Maureen Hawkins
