Ladies oh Ladies,
Did did you know that Mother's Day started around 150 years ago? Yepper, and it all began with Anna Jarvis. She organized a day to raise awareness about the conditions in her community and she called it "Mother's Work Day." Then fifteen years later Julia Howe a poet and author organized a day to encourage mothers to come together to rally for peace. And in 1905 when Anna Jarvis died, her daughter, also named Anna started a movement to recognize her mother's work. Anna lobbied businessmen and President Taft and President Roosevelt to help her with her mission. At a church service in 1908, Anna handed out her mother's favorite flower-white carnations. A few years later, the House of Representatives called for officials of the federal government to wear white carnations on Mother's Day. Finally in 1914, President Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother's day as a national holiday.
Mother's Day is the perfect day to make your wellness a top priority and transform your reality! Remember Rome wasn't built in a day. Patience, persistence and perserverance are an absolute must because there is no quick fix.
As you enjoy your family and friends today, take a minute to appreciate the Beautiful Diva that you are and be sure give someone else a smile and compliment while you're at it!
Cheers and celebration,
Rosie Rose......The Sporty Diva
