Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is the second biggest gift-giving holiday of the year, it is estimated that Americans will spend over 3 billion dollars on gifts for Mom on Mother's Day. Each year, on the first sunday in May, we attempt to express our gratitude to the women in our lives who have the most difficult job on the planet. By definition, the job of being "mom" requires a lifelong commitment with a schedule that is 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. There are no sick or vacation days; no 401K or weekly salary. The duties include, but are not limited to: cook, house keeper, taxi driver, teacher, counselor, mediator, plumber, bookkeeper, shopper, event planner, nurse, cheerleader, baker, seamstress. Whether you call her Mom, Mommy, Mama, Mum, Mother or Ma, the impact she has on your life is boundless. It is impossible to give the mothers in our lives a gift that fully encompasses all the things they have done for us over the years. A box could not possibly begin to hold the gratitude we hold in our hearts. This year, let us give the nurturers the gift of being nurtured with the gift of massage. For one hour, your special mom will receive the space to truly relax. At Renew Bodywork Center for Wellness, a peaceful oasis awaits. We offer gift certificates in any denomination. Visit our website, call or stop by and give Mom a massage! www.renewbodywork.net
