The series ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ served as a nanny and shaped my perception of strength.

Xena was the perfect role model of power and resilience. She was a genuine, formidable force who fearlessly conquered any challenge. She became my superpowerful best friend.

Little did I know that a living, breathing Xena Warrior Princess — a wonder woman, a superhuman — resided right within my home.

My mom.

Despite giving birth to 15 children and navigating the tumultuous journey of parenthood, her unwavering strength and determination never ceased to amaze me.

There isn’t a guide. I looked.

In my search, a user manual wasn’t found either. Somehow though, she figured it out.

Witnessing her endurance through the hardships and trials of raising such a large family, I know she possessed extraordinary superpowers.

She is the super glue that held our family together, an anchor of unwavering hope in the face of adversity.

Moms, in general, embody strength, beauty, boldness, and fearlessness — an unconquerable force.

They possess the ability to multitask and excel in every season of life.

Truly unique; with unmatched strength! Such remarkable individuals must be celebrated.

While many women engage in noble pursuits, mothers surpass them all. Let us honor the invaluable contributions of mothers, recognizing the fruits of their labor and showering them with praise at the city gate.

Celebrate not just on Mother’s Day but every day — the mothers who have graced our lives.

Be encouraged, be inspired.
