Wholly dedicated to my beloved family—Jerry, Jenina, and Joshua—and to Someone up above who loves us all. Also to all the moms who unknowingly make the world
a better place.

Many times, moms like me try to be everything to everyone. It makes things especially hard when we try to juggle our own personal dreams with the demands and aspirations to always be there for our families and to be able to show constant love and support. Over the years, I have learned that moms may not always have the right answers or may not always get things right, but if our actions are guided by pure and unconditional love, then nothing can ever be so wrong. Challenges are more like paths that lead to greater goodness if we’ll only look at the positive side of things.
This book provides a compilation of lessons in life derived from my daily real life experiences as a mom. With this book, I hope to inspire all moms and convey the message that we have all been given an innate gift of unimaginable love that transcends any difficulties coming our way in bringing up our families. In these pages, I hope to show through my own daily life encounters that we don’t have to feel bad about not being perfect because we do not have to be; we only have to perfectly love our families.
