A Very Special Day

Blog | Musings

So I have been sitting here for hours ruling out every topic for this blog post and I realized that I need to acknowledge this very special day. Today my dear son turns 11 and this is what is consuming my mind right now and keeping me from sharing SocialPR content…..

  1. I adore him
  2. We have been through so much together
  3. He is wise beyond his years
  4. He is incredibly funny and witty
  5. I was terrified when I was pregnant between both families lots could have gone wrong and he really did get the best of every person on both sides
  6. I am in awe of him regularly
  7. It never ceases to amaze me how he is the same person that grew in my womb
  8. I struggle with wanting him to grow up so I can know him as an adult and wanting him to always be my little boy
  9. Did I say he is really funny…..
  10. Everyone loves him and he has such an affect on people
  11. He cares deeply
  12. He is comfortable in his own skin, such a gift, so many people never experience this
  13. He just does not understand any form of racism, it does not compute for him, I love that
  14. He has an ease about him that is a joy to watch, one of my favorite things to do is step back and watch him handle himself in all kinds of situations – he usually knows exactly what to do
  15. He is pure good. I am incredibly lucky to be his mom and so honored to guide and groom him to adulthood

Here are a few of my favorite pictures that show my boy’s special light.

Thanks for celebrating with me! Happy 11th birthday Matthew!

How to Use Hashtags to Unlock Innovative Conversations

Jan 29, 2018

One thing I have learned about social media is that often the simplest strategy can be confusing. Such as hashtags, most people do not truly grasp that they are conversations. I love to teach the value of using hashtags and the possibilities that these little nuggets...

    What amazes me is that you seem to be blind to the fact that he is a reflection of you. He is everything you are and everything you have taught him to be.

    That’s really sweet 🙂 My FAVORITE is the picture of you two together. There’s something about these mom/child pictures where the mom (YOU) is just glowing with love. That’s so touching! I’m going to squeeze my little one right now!
