Happy Mother's Day

What a beautiful day!  Here in the DC Metro area, we're going to be looking at sunny skies and temps in the mid-70's today!  It's a perfect day to celebrate our mothers...to take a moment and reflect, or to practically serve and bless them today.

The vast majority of you have never met my mom in person, but she's why I am the way that I am.  If Sensei Bob has ever taught you anything...if you've ever take a class in the Gaithersburg Dojo, if you've ever been challenged, pushed, or blessed, it's because of that sweet, wild and wonderful West Virginian.

Regardless of your relationship with your own mom, you should be able to think of a handful of things to be grateful to her for.  If, like me, you're blessed enough to still have your mom...let her know.  I have to do things like that in writing because I get a bit choked up...but you do you.

For those who've experienced the pain of mom's passing, I encourage you to think back fondly on the memories you have with her; to reflect on the lessons learned, and to dedicate some part of your day in silent prayer or reflection in her honor.  Let this be a day that you can celebrate your mom...you are her legacy afterall.

Blessings.

​See you in the dojo.
