I’m sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I’m feeling especially sentimental and emotional. There are several reasons why, but none more than the fact that my Mom, “Muffy” Durkin, is aging and she turns 92-years old this week. She’s down in Florida resting-up and I want to celebrate her with all of you in my podcast community. As a matter of fact, I want to dedicate this episode to her today.

My family has been spending a lot of time down in FL the last several months as she needs round the clock health care. Well, I’ve shared before that Mom has not thrown out too much sentimental stuff over the years (remember, I’ve also shared that’s where I received this bad “pack-rat gene” from) and I’ve joked that it will someday come in handy. Today is ONE of those days…

Here is what I share in this week’s episode:

• A birthday letter I wrote to my Mom in 1986 (when I was just 15-years old).

• 4-special traits I want to share about Momma Durkin.

• Why it’s important to know “You’re Day is Coming.”

• WOW Book Chapter #10.

• The best thing Momma Durkin ever did for me and my family.

• ACTION Steps to take to become an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.

• What are a few of your fondest memories of your Mom…and/or your Dad?

• What traits do/did they have that you most admire?

• How do you best exhibit those traits now as a parent (or as a mentor, friend, or colleague)?

• How can you even better display these traits, characteristics, and commitment?

• A “fitting” close to the episode from one of my favorite conversations with her a few years back.

It was an emotional episode. Thanks for celebrating Momma Durkin with me and I hope it spurs you into taking action into becoming an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.
