A Woman's Influence

I consider myself very blessed to have numerous women in my life that I look to as examples of beauty, wonderful mothers, leaders, and spiritual giants. I thought it only appropriate that on Mother's Day to reflect on these women and the influence they have made in my life. 

There really aren't words to describe how much my mom means to me. I am fortunate to not only have her as a mother but as a friend. I enjoy the time we spend together and am so proud of her for all her hard work and dedication to her business. I could go on a on about her but just a few qualities she as that I hope to take from her are, compassion, hard work, dedication, friend to everyone, spiritual, and fun!

My dear friend, Melissa, is such an amazing example to me in so many ways. This woman has defiantly had her share of trials and she never ceases to amaze me in her unwavering testimony of the gospel.  In my Dating and Adult Roles class I did a presentation for the students on leaders and used Melissa as my role model!

On my trip to Folsom I had the chance to judge the Folsom Pageant. The two women who run the pageant have always been ones I look up to. I have always had so much respect and admiration for Tiffany. She is a wonderful mother, mentor, and friend. Tiffany is one of the most beautiful women I know, not only on the outside but in. She is always doing things for others and has pretty much dedicated her life to "Donate Life" in honor of her son Connor.  She has taught me so much about myself through pageants and for that I am forever grateful. Ok, and look at that rockin bod at 37! 

There are so many other women and mothers I admire as well- Jenna Haynie, Shantay Ames, Jamie Hilton, Leslie Astle, Aunt Jody, and the list could go on and on. Thank you all for your lasting influence of a wonderful woman!
