Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, Carol Nelson-Rea. Every day I apply the lessons she taught me:
1. Everyone has something to give. Love them.
2. Nothing is impossible. Live it.
3. If it doesn’t exist, create it.

4. The qualities of women and men are expressed by all - there are no rules or conventions of gender. You belong when you lead with love.
5. The worst disasters make the best stories later.

6. Money is for experiences, not things. It’s the experiences (even not having it) that help you grow. But everyone deserves a living wage and opportunity.
7. Every person has a story. Be curious. Ask them to tell it.

8. If the music moves you, dance - even on tables in a Miami night club after your son’s wedding when you’re 64.
*Home is the dearest spot on earth; it’s the center though not the boundaries of affections. Family is not defined by blood.
9. Animals are expressions of love.

10. There is no loss, there’s only gain when matter is gone love remains. (People and animals live on in our hearts always.)
11. Music heals. Love that I get to share this day w/ my Mom. Jack woke me w/ a card and coffee. Wish I could do the same for his “Nana” right now. ❤️
