“My mom has made it possible for me to be who I am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was encouraging me to find my own person and own independence.” - Charlize Theron

This Sunday we honor all of the Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunts, and special women who have had a great influence on our lives. Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is when Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, whose mother had organized women’s groups to promote friendship and health, originated Mother’s Day.


On May 12, 1907, she held a memorial service at her late mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia. Within five years virtually every state was observing the day and in 1914 U.S. President Woodrow Wilson made it a national holiday. Happy Mother’s Day to you all and fur Mommys too!
