My mother always said "Those you don't have you don't love."

The best advice I received from my mom was to read/receive lots of advice, but then do whatever works best for me, even if it goes against what everyone else is doing or not what the experts recommend.

My mom always has told my siblings and I to follow our passions.

The life lesson my mother taught me was to treat other people the way you would like to be treated, even when they are having a bad day. Kindness is a good thing.
Aloha, Kate

Mom's wisdom - Treat others how you would like to be treated.

My mom taught me good health is one of the most important (and luckiest) things to have, and not to take it for granted. I'd love to do the running class - I need something to push me to completing a 5K!

Aw, what the heck. I'll throw my name in the overflowing hat. Would really love to learn to run, but all of these are fantastic giveaways. Thanks Ali.

From my Mom I learned lots of little life lessons. That was one thing she was/is big on. Learning from others mistakes. She always shared her mistakes with us openly so we could learn from hers and not make the same ones. I try to do the same with my kids.

Hmmmm. Sadly, I've learned some lessons by the bad example of my mother. This holiday can be a little bittersweet for me. I'm trying my best to be different, and better, and to treasure the people around me in small ways every way to ensure that they know my love is unconditional.

My mom was a single mom when it wasn't as common as it is today. She gave me the courage to adopt my daughter on my own because of the great role model she was for me. I'm so glad she still lives with us at age 86. She has always told me that if you want something you'll appreciate more if you need to work for it.

My mom, like most Korean moms, is a prayer warrior! She reminds me that we don't have it all under control, but that a higher power is in charge and easily accesible.

My mom taught me to always be a good listener. She never actually said this to me, but that is what I learned from her!

Always love... The power of that will always keep me grounded when other emotions take root.

Mom taught me to always be nice to everyone.

A life lesson that my mom taught me was to cling tight to my faith, even when life gets difficult. It has something I have hung on to dearly, especially after losing my mom 19 years ago.

The running course sounds like fun...my girls are in track and cross country and I told them that now that I am 40, my next goal is to try and run a 5k with them!!

Thanks for a fun giveaway and Happy Mother's Day, Ali!

I learned a love for baking, animals, and storytelling from my mom... Boy do I miss her voice telling those stories... Xo

My Mom always taught me to use my imagination. My Gramma Rose always helped me to know "what was meant to be will be". Use that all the time!

"Just let it roll off your back...". I have learned to not read too much in to what people say, or take anyone's criticism too seriously. Best advice ever!!!

My Mom taught me to always be ready to help someone without them having to ask, to really be there as a friend.

My Mom taught me that when I am throwing a party...on the party day, to get myself ready first, then finish up the little details..that way when your guests arrive, you are ready.

I have to say...she was SO RIGHT!!

My mom taught me that love is all that really matters.
