10 Life Lessons from my Mum

It’s Mother’s Day!

This morning I was greeted with cuddles, home-made cards and a rather odd tasting cappuccino and pink sprinkles. It was awesome and, whilst we’re not that family that goes all out on days like this, I did relish the attention and the time to reflect on motherhood.

For good or for bad, whilst life doesn’t come with a manual, it does come with a mother.

I’m lucky to have a mum who has shown me how to live with integrity.

She taught me to try my best, find the best in others and has always loved and accepted me - no matter what.

So what are other life lessons from our mums? …I asked our VIVEVA tribe and got some heart warming wisdom.

Lessons from our Mums

#1 Be generous. Give with a joyful heart

#3 Try something new. You may like it, may learn something and may be good at it

#4 Your best is always enough

#5 Lift your head. Change your attitude & keep going

#6 Never look back. Life moves forward

I love this list and know there are many others to add.
