    Jennifer L. Armentrout
    “I've always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect." His eyes searched mine intently, and for a moment we stood there toe to toe. "The ones who throw their beauty around, waste what they have? Their beauty is only passing. It's just a shell hiding nothing but shadows and emptiness.”
    ― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Obsidian

    “If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day. Nothing stimulates our appetite for the simple joys of life more than the starvation caused by sadness or desperation. In order to complete our amazing life journey successfully, it is vital that we turn each and every dark tear into a pearl of wisdom, and find the blessing in every curse.”

    “When God Created Mothers"

    When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said. "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."

    And God said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has to be completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 moveable parts...all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap that disappears when she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands."

    The angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands.... no way."

    It's not the hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, "it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."

    That's on the standard model?" asked the angel. God nodded.

    One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say. 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word."

    God," said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "Get some rest tomorrow...."

    I can't," said God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger...and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower."

    The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed.

    But tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this mother can do or endure."

    Can it think?"

    Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator.

    Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.

    There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You that You were trying to put too much into this model."

    It's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear."

    What's it for?"

    It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride."

    You are a genius, " said the angel.

    Somberly, God said, "I didn't put it there.”

    “My Mother

    My mother was not educated but she was the best teacher I've ever had in my entire life. She had what it's called natural wisdom, bless her precious soul. Here some of her teachings: Human Values:
    Love: Learn to love because everything that's based on love has a deep rooted foundation.
    Kindness: Be kind all the time but never let anyone take advantage of your kindness.
    Peace: Learn to have peace with yourself when the world turns against you because it starts with you.
    Honesty: Be honest to yourself and then to the others.
    Respect: Respect others and they will respect you.
    Openness: Be always transparent especially when you are hurting. Never pretend that it's all okay.
    Loyalty: Always be loyal to your family and make sure your family comes before anything else.
    She taught me to learn to compose myself when life gets tough and unfair to me.

    I love you mama & Happy Mothers Day”

    “From her thighs, she gives you life
    And how you treat she who gives you life
    Shows how much you value the life given to you by the Creator.
    And from seed to dust
    There is ONE soul above all others --
    That you must always show patience, respect, and trust
    And this woman is your mother.
    And when your soul departs your body
    And your deeds are weighed against the feather
    There is only one soul who can save yours
    And this woman is your mother.
    And when the heart of the universe
    Asks her hair and mind,
    Whether you were gentle and kind to her
    Her heart will be forced to remain silent
    And her hair will speak freely as a separate entity,
    Very much like the seaweed in the sea --
    It will reveal all that it has heard and seen.

    This woman whose heart has seen yours,
    First before anybody else in the world,
    And whose womb had opened the door
    For your eyes to experience light and more --
    Is your very own MOTHER.
    So, no matter whether your mother has been cruel,
    Manipulative, abusive, mentally sick, or simply childish
    How you treat her is the ultimate test.
    If she misguides you, forgive her and show her the right way
    With simple wisdom, gentleness, and kindness.
    And always remember,
    That the queen in the Creator's kingdom,
    Who sits on the throne of all existence,
    Is exactly the same as in yours.
    And her name is,
    THE DIVINE MOTHER.”

    “We mothers have a wonderfully precious and truly powerful role to play in the future self-images of our daughters. The truth is, the most effective way to inculcate in our daughters a fighting chance at life-long self-love and empowerment is not in the books we read to them, or the workshops we send them to, or the media we do or do not expose them to, or even the things we tell them, rather it is in the reflection of self-love and empowerment they see in us, their mothers. The model of our own empowerment gives our daughters permission to be powerful. Of course, culture and societal norms mold our view of ourselves as women, but the beliefs and behaviors of our mothers are far more influential.”
