Get to know your mother

OK, I admit that I've got mother on the brain. Tis the season. My last posting was about writing a letter to your mom, saying all the things you'd want to say if you knew you were going to die, then exploring how the act of writing that letter might shift your relationship with her.

Then I came across an article in REAL SIMPLE magazine that I thought was REAL GOOD. The more I read, the more I recalled that my best times with my mom have been when we've had time alone together and I've curiously asked her questions about her life. Did she always believe in God? What did she think when she met my father for the first time? Does she have any regrets? What keeps her up at night?

She's fascinating to me, just as I'm sure your mom is to you, or would be if you really got to know her. Knowing more about my mom teaches me about myself, but more importantly I get a much clearer picture of who she really is, I feel my love for her more deeply and we become closer.

Part of the purpose of Bcelebrated is to help people to live more inspired lives. I think this list of questions to ask mom, (you could use them for dad too), is a great resource of inspiration.
