From the Heart

© Debbie DeSpirt

Moms just want to be acknowledged and thanked for their dedication and hard work. Give the best Mother's Day gift this year.

Mother's Day is a day to appreciate your mom. Appreciation is giving thanks for their love today and in the past. Give your mom, the perfect mother’s day gift that will last a lifetime. Many mothers can remember a memory but not the flowers you purchased ten years or even a year ago. Be creative in your gift and give from the heart.

1) Dreams Come True

Inconspicuously find out some of your mother's dreams and fulfill one. The dream can be as simple as not doing laundry or as daring as skydiving. You can participate in fulfilling the dream or hiring an expert to fulfill her dream. Often moms will put their dreams to the side. What better way to say I Love You than fulfilling a dream that will last a lifetime.

2) Special Memories Book

Create a book of special memories between you and your mom. Use drawings, photographs, and write a paragraph or two of why it was a special memory.

Example: Picture of you and your mom at an amusement park. Under the photo, you write; this is a special memory because we both were scared on the roller coaster and it was funny to see you screaming.

3) Spa Oasis

Create a spa oasis for your mom in her bathroom. The first step is to clean and declutter . Ask her permission because many of us are overprotective of our 5 year old lipsticks. After it is clean, purchase some spa essentials such as luxurious bath towels, soaps, candles, and little trinkets to warm up the space.

4) Date with Your Mom

Make a special date with your mom to have a simple dinner and some conversation. Most moms just want to spend a little time with their sons and daughters talking about their life. This is the time to just let her comments slide off your back if they are negative. This is a day to treat your mom as a friend, keep the conversation to the positives in your and her life.

5) Feng Shui the Home

Hire a Feng Shui Consultant for your mom. Many of us want a change but need a little push. Ask your mom if she wants to change something in her life and give the gift of Feng Shui. Feng Shui has the power to remove the old and stagnant chi and replace it with vibrant and new chi to aid her in achieving her life goals.

6) Mosaic Picture

Find a picture of you and your mom from the past or the present. The picture can be a close up or a scenic picture of you both walking in a forest. Gather all the photos of you and your mom throughout the years. Some examples are your first day of school, your wedding day, and the day she brought you home from the hospital. Create a mosaic picture with all of these photos. Frame the photograph with non glare glass. Each small picture will call upon a memory that will bring a smile to your mom.
