May Day was established to celebrate the coming of spring, and Mother’s Day was created to honor mothers. With May Day behind you and Mother’s Day ahead, I wish you a “light in your soul” to enjoy all month. Here is an ancient Chinese Proverb that starts with that “light” in your soul and ends with “world peace.” Share it with your children in your own special way.

If there is light in the soul,

There will be beauty in the person.

If there is beauty in the person,

There will be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the house,

There will be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

There will be peace in the world.
