Motherhood is heart-exploding, blissful hysteria.

No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star.

My mother's the most special person in my life ... I consider her my MVP: Most Valuable Parent.

Don't be afraid to reach for the stars

Though my mom had too many of her own dreams denied, deferred and destroyed, she instilled in me that I could have dreams. And not just have dreams but had a responsibility to make them reality. My mom taught me from a very early age that I could do anything I wanted to do.

But with two pennies and God, I can do anything'.

A mother's love liberates.
