A reflection on motherhood beyond the holiday, using "What Would Your Mother Do" as a guide for compassion and care. The speaker honors his wife, mother, and grandmother while inviting you to let maternal love shape how you treat people today.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. Here in North America, in the United States, we are celebrating Mother's Day today. So Hallmark holiday or not, we celebrate it. And what a wonderful opportunity to celebrate motherhood, which is the, the obvious thing to do, but as well as celebrating just the, the idea and the qualities of motherhood. So whether you've got your own child or not, what are those qualities? What is the, the love that, that is expressed in motherhood that each of us express? We express on a daily basis or have the opportunity to express and appreciate in each other. And so as we go through our day today, can we carry ourselves from a standpoint or a perspective of motherhood, how we treat others, how we interact with others. How would your mother respond? So maybe not WWJD, but WWMD. What would your mother do? So that is your moment of yes for today. And of course, I have to say hello and I love you to my wonderful wife and mother of 3, Jennifer— I mean Hollister. Hello to my mom. Happy Mother's Day, Mom. Happy Mother's Day, Grandma. Happy Mother's Day, Lori. Happy Mother's Day, Tiffany. Happy Mother's Day, Tammy. Happy Mother's Day, Hayden. Happy Mother's Day, Helene. Happy Mother's Day, Aunt Carolyn. Happy Mother's Day, Kim. Happy Mother's Day, everyone. And if I forgot someone, I'm going to look like a real jerk. Happy Mother's Day, everyone. Love you. Take care. And that's your Moment of Yes.
