Hello , and welcome to Friday Coffee with MAP!

This weekend, we are celebrating the moms!

On Sunday, we hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on the love, sacrifice, and hard work that go into being a mother—and the profound influence mothers have in shaping who we are.

Motherhood is one of the most difficult responsibilities a person can take on. It is a continual balancing act. The tireless efforts of moms everywhere deserve not only our gratitude, but our enduring respect and appreciation.

So this Mother’s Day, we invite you to recognize and celebrate the mothers around you—at home, across your extended family, in the workplace, and throughout your community. Their resilience, compassion, and strength not only helps us become more fully-formed, flourishing people, but helps to create a better future for us all.

To celebrate Mother’s Day, we’re passing along a piece highlighting some resonant quotes about motherhood, and elevating a few of our favorites.

Happy Reading!

“40 Powerful Motherhood Quotes that Celebrate All Moms”
_{by Kait Hansen for Today.com} 

___________________________________________________________________________

“Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is ... and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.” —Donna Ball, "At Home On Ladybug Farm"

“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind.” —Howard W. Hunter

“Be a full person. Motherhood is a glorious gift, but do not define yourself solely by motherhood. Be a full person. Your child will benefit from that.” —Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, "Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions"

“(24/7) once you sign on to be a mother, that’s the only shift they offer.” —Jodi Picoult, "My Sister's Keeper"

“Motherhood has relaxed me in many ways. You learn to deal with crisis. I’ve become a juggler, I suppose. It’s all a big circus, and nobody who knows me believes I can manage, but sometimes I do.” —Jane Seymour

“Such a mysterious business, motherhood. How brave a woman must be to embark on it.” —M.L. Stedman
