Talking about mother's day has always been so easy for me. The admiration for my mom, my grandmothers, and all the moms in the family has made all the attributes flow, and I can write letters full of love.
However, today that I started this blog in honor of Mother's Day, I realized that talking about myself as a mother and as a businesswoman at the same time was not so easy. I was left in limbo with nothing to write.It's funny how this unconsciously took me to my cell phone to see memories captured in photos, and without realizing it, have become our footprints in the sand.
And guess what? I found my attributes as a mom—the same ones that I am sure are the attributes of all the moms who have their business, of the moms who get up to build their castles day by day, and of all the moms who put their heart and soul into what they do. Here I leave the attributes that memories brought me and that, of course, have two main actors... Samuel and Villakuyaya:
Tireless Mama
I see this attribute repeated from the first day that Samuel was in my womb. The mind did not stop creating, and this was essential for Villakuyaya to continue on. Today, four years old as my little one, I continue to create opportunities in my business. I continue to fight for it to grow every day, and I think that what makes me a tireless mother.
PROTECTIVE MOM
Watching Samuel sleep was always one of my hobbies when he was a baby. The peace that he had when he slept was vital for Villakuyaya because my mind opened easily to visualize ideas, flavors, and designs that I wanted to do in the business. That vigilance and protection were the guidelines for us to continue on the right path.
SOCIABLE MOM
The moments of joy and fun were repeated daily with Samuel. We were filled with individual and group activities. Along with my social life with my little one, Villakuyaya did not miss any networking event or shows. Everything was scheduled in such a way that to this day we can balance work and fun. Of course, now I take him everywhere.
RESEARCH MOM
OMG, I really made it my goal that my son should eat healthy and started this whole journey of research and education about what foods are the best for his development. It's funny that years later when I decided to learn how to make truffles and bonbons, I was putting this super power back to fill me with all the necessary information so that they come out perfect but above all delicious.
Mother's Day is just celebrated on a certain date; however, if we go to our memory trunk (photos on the cell phone for instance), we can see that the celebration of mothers is everyday. Happy mothers' day to all of the business mom out there!
