CHANGE: IT STARTS WITHIN OURSELVES

 CHANGE: IT STARTS WITHIN OURSELVES      Change is a fundamental aspect of life and it can certainly impact us as individual and as a society. Change is not easy. It comes slow, with risks, failures and criticism. And, it is often the fear of those that stops one from taking a step towards change. That first step is the hardest and scariest part of the process because it makes one vulnerable. But, it also opens doors for freedom and great opportunities.

She can decipher every gesture of her children since the time they are born. She loves her children unconditionally and guides them on the right path in life. She takes care of her children and ensures their safety in every way. We celebrate Mother's Day to thank our mothers, expressing our love and gratitude for them.            The celebration of Mother's Day first started in the country of Greece...
