Regina Clark, Publishing DirectorHonoring Moms Everywhere

Every mother's day is special, but this year, for me, this is the most special of all because I'm celebrating my first as the mother of an eight month old. We call him "Tre." That said, I understand how demanding and sometimes overwhelming motherhood can be, so this month we're offering articles that will motivate, assist and salute you in your daily life as you fulfill the awesome responsibilities associated with being a mom—either literally or figuratively. So, Happy Mother's Day!

There's something for every aspect of your life in our special Mothers Day Issue with stories that address your need for family time and down time: In our Member Spotlight, you'll hear from Stephanie M. Clark, a working single mom who turned chaos into destiny as an entrepreneur. Next, you'll find realistic workout solutions in "Fitness Tips For The Working Mother; and you'll learn how to carve out time for you with "Mom, Do You Want More Me Time?" Get tips on guarding your ID and your privacy with "ID Theft: ‘I Wish Someone Would Steal my Identity;'" get a refresher course on business meals with "Dining Etiquette for Business Situations;" and, finally, remember to take care of home with designer style in "Specialty Rooms for Your Home." And, if that's not enough, we even have some dessert—a recipe for "Strawberry Clouds." There's plenty to read and enjoy, so bon appétit! Once again, "Happy Mother's Day" from our home to yours.
