Mother's Day is such a great day... and NOT necessarily because I am a mother.
But because I get to work with other women's children. What a joy it is to be around these pure and wonderful souls.
Yesterday, I climbed to the top of a playground and did cartwheels through the grass with a couple dozen 8 year olds.
Today, I took the had of a 3 year old and sang her favorite song.
Later, I performed as myself, and was nervous (it is so much easier when I am a character)! I looked out as a talented group of preteens cheered my on and hugged me afterward- even though I was a stranger.
I get to see YOUR hard work through these amazing humans.
I can see glimpses of- not only the goodness and values you teach them- but also the struggles that families have when raising kids with different personalities. I see the love and patience you have for them, because that is how they treat us as characters.
I truly love each of your children, and try to pick actors who have those same instincts- because I want each of them to know that they are loved by their favorite characters.
Thank you moms, aunts, and friends for the positive and amazing influence you bring to this world through your interactions with the children around you. And thank you for sharing them with myself and my amazing cast. Thank you for the sacrifices you make each an every day. Truly, women are the most beautiful force in this world, and I am proud to be counted among each of you.
Happiest Mother's Day!
