Honoring the Special Women in our Lives!

by EfforTZ Foundation on 04/20/12

There are so many wonderful women in our lives ~ our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, mentors, daughters, girl friends.

As mother's day approaches I've been thinking of all of them, myself included. Of how these special women have helped me move through life, from one stage to another, and of how I've tried to honor their teachings and enjoy their company and to be there in some way for them. 

I think of Mary Dupont and Bebe Dudley, my friends and fellow EfforTZ co-founders, and how hard they work to help the young Maasai girls and orphaned boys in Tanzania. And of my daughter Jaci who is such a wonderful mother to my grandson Max and about to be a mother to a little girl! 

I'm sure you have special women in your lives like I do. Why not honor them by giving them a beautiful Tanzanian-inspired necklace designed and handcrafted by Mary. We've put this jewelry (and our notecards and mugs) on sale in time for this special holiday so everyone can have one of these beautiful necklaces and know their gift is helping to benefit the children in Tanzania.

And, in recognizing our own efforts on behalf of those we love, I find it perfectly acceptable to drop a few little hints when it comes to gift receiving. Shall I tell you about the year I tore a photo out of a magazine and tucked it into my husband's briefcase? Suffice it to say, it worked very well.
