I am proud to share my ‘Because of Mom’ story with YOU and hope you will share yours, too!

Each day I am so grateful to my mother for the inspiration and work ethic she instilled in me as a child and an adult. In fact, if not for her, I would not have had the courage, confidence, and commitment to start my small business, Two Women and a Hoe®! My mother was a fierce entrepreneur and competitor! Despite the many disadvantages and set-backs she experienced during her childhood, she never gave up. Her father’s passing when she was 12 years old forced her to enter the workplace at a very young age. How tragic that must have been for her entire family.

My mom often shared stories of how she survived and prevailed during difficult times, which always encouraged me!  I cannot imagine some of the challenges she faced as a very young girl – from wearing shoes two sizes too small to claiming she was much older than she actually was, just to secure work. Yes, she did whatever she had to do to survive, thrive, and flourish!

My mother passed away in 1998 from chronic lung disease. Many years have passed, but I still miss and think of her every day. I know she would be so proud of me, my accomplishments, and my little company. After all, she taught me everything I know – especially how to make things grow!

GardenHoeImageOrgBecause of my mom, today I have the honor and privilege to mix business with pleasure.  And because of my mom, I make things grow beautifully! She truly was and remains the wind beneath my wings. My mom will forever fill my heart with love, joy, and gratitude.

May all your gardens grow,

Jan ✿✿✿
