Motherhood is amazing, but let’s be honest it can also be tough!  As a mom, I am some times stressed or unsure about how to handle certain situations.  Thankfully, I have wonderful moms in my life that I can look to and learn from.  I learned early on into my motherhood journey that there is true value in these relationships.  Whether for talking, laughing, venting or seeking advice, the moms in my life encourage and inspire me quite often.  Actually, I’m not sure what I would do without them.  There are times when I need to be reminded that what I am experiencing, one of them has experienced it too (and survived).  By sharing their experience, I am able to see what worked and what didn’t and go from there.  It also allows me assess the situation and deal with it in the best way possible. They help me to become better.

Supporting one another is so important and there are so many different ways of doing so.  Did you know that Johnson & Johnson and its partners support global motherhood with programs that help in meeting the needs of moms and children throughout the U.S. and all around the world.???  It is is estimated that Johnson & Johnson along with its partners touch more than one billion people’s lives each day through health care products, services and various programs.  That is pretty incredible!!!!

I urge you to get involved and help raise awareness about global motherhood by using your social networks for social good!!  There is power in social media and you can make a difference.
