MAY 2018 | FRONTDOORS MEDIA 5 MOM MAXIMS Always wear sunscreen. Make your bed every morning. Take off your makeup before going to sleep. These are just a few of the maxims my mother has shared, along with copious “I love yous.” For many years, she and I lived on separate coasts, but we’re now lucky that our houses are separated by just a 15 minute drive. I’m grateful for this — and for her — every day. That’s one reason I’m particularly excited for this issue, which highlights several incredible moms in its pages. Like Sarah Dial, whose corporate résumé and impact on the Phoenix business and nonprofit communities are monumental — but whose proudest accomplishments are her three children. Or Rosie Herrera, who lost her daughter seven years ago but opened a remarkable new chapter in her life by helping others. Or the many foster moms — and dads — who have opened their homes and hearts to the children of the #LoveUp Foundation. We salute them this May, which is National Foster Care Month. This issue also features a story dedicated to the memory of Betsy Smith Taylor, whose life and work helped to shape the Valley and whose daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughter grace our cover this month. Honored for her volunteerism as Phoenix Woman of the Year in 1988, Taylor inspires her family to keep giving back. I had the great pleasure of interviewing two of Taylor’s daughters — Carolyn Bosworth and Nancy Gaintner — for this story, and they both spoke in awe of their mom, who passed away last year. “She was one of those immortal people. She was almost 93, so we shouldn’t have been surprised to lose her, but it’s been a tough adjustment for us,” Gaintner said. Indeed, Mother’s Day can be bittersweet for those who have lost their mom. Every year, I miss my own incomparable mother-in-law, who taught me to wax furniture, order the belly clams, and love SCUBA diving, even if you hate how you look in a wetsuit. I hope this issue prompts you to take a break and celebrate the mothers, aunts, grandmothers and mother-hearts in your life. Maybe say thanks for what they’ve taught you, buy a present from our selection of Mother’s Day gifts that give back and, yes, take them to brunch. Wearing sunscreen, of course.
