Mom Taught Me To Be An Activist

05/11/14
I recently visited my mom for her birthday last week. She always possessed a practical, no-nonsense attitude. Mom is the personification of a hip 80 year-old, but she reminds me often that growing up during the Depression gives her the edge of realism. Her mind is as sharp as a tack, so even at her...

Mi Mamá Siempre Puso a Sus Hijos Primero

05/10/14
Mi mamá y yo no siempre hemos estado de acuerdo en muchas cosas. De hecho, cuando era más joven, nos peleábamos mucho. Ahora aprecio y agradezco todo lo que hizo por mí, porque me doy cuenta lo difícil que es ser madre. Mi mamá me enseñó que la parte más importante que voy a tener en mi vida es el...

My Mother is my Derivation and Place

05/10/14
“El dia que naciste mi niña linda, nacieron todas las flores” are the first words my mom said to me this morning. It’s moments like these, in my mother’s infinite love and unconditional affection, that I remember why I’m activist. As we approach Mother’s Day, I’ve been thinking about Paula Gunn...

Lesson from my Mom: Community Responsibility

05/10/14
Of the many lessons my mom taught me, the most lasting is this: because we had good health, food to eat, and a roof over our heads, we had a responsibility to be thankful and to give back to our community, especially the poor, disabled and elderly. I don't remember her saying "to whom much is given...

My mom taught me to love words. We were poor when I was a kid, so we never had the latest toys.

My Mom never, ever gives up.

05/09/14
My Mom never, ever gives up. In her gentle and cheerful way, she never gives up. Mom is 92 years old, she's had health and other challenges galore, and she never gives up. She is grounded in her faith in God. That faith has empowered her to face one obstacle after another with patience and grace...

My mom taught me the ritual of the family dinner

My mom taught me the ritual of family dinner. Monday through Friday we sat down together as a family to eat and talk about our day. Dad came home, siblings in from riding our bikes, hands washed, table set, everyone at the table until dessert was over and the kitchen cleaned. Then you were excused...
