What a beautiful post–and a sweet tribute to your Mother. I learned way too much from my Mom to share in a comment, but to sum it up I’ll share a quote directly from her:

Keep your money and spend yourself.–Deborah J. Tune

She lives those very words each and every day and I continue to learn from her…

Hi Karl,

Mom’s are simply the best, aren’t they. Even though I lost mine years ago, the lessons I learned from her remain with me.

The lessons your mother taught you are all fabulous. You’re love for your mom shines through and I’m guessing she’s awfully proud of you, Karl.

BTW: Thank you for the mention.

Such a great list Karl! I guess I’m short on people that credit their mother with the good things in their life. I’m still part of the group that blames their parents for most things.

I’m the mother of three boys and I hope someday they compose a big list of wonderful things that they learned from me. I like to be intentional in my parenting. Number would be number one on my list, if you simply tell the truth, you can live in freedom. Lies are toxic and ruin lives. I only want my boys to live in freedom.

Your mom has done an incredible job, how blessed you’ve obviously been. Her work has paid off,you are now sharing wisdom and loving people out in the world. We could use a whole lot more like you!

I love that picture and these are certainly great lessons. I didn’t realize all I learned from my mother until I was an adult. I learned a lot about love, that’s for sure!

I too, love #18. It’s what allows us each to bring a special something to the table.

Very insightful post! One thing I learned from my mom is that I work and do things for myself–not to please others. Don’t do a job, take a position, or do anything else just because you think it will please people especially if it means you’re gonna be unhappy.
