May 10 is always the perfect excuse to honor our mothers. My mother, Regina Calzada de Romero, is the wisest woman I know; I am who I am because of her.

Since I was very little, she instilled in my brothers and me values ​​such as respect, commitment and passion. In this article I want to share with you a bit of that wisdom that characterizes her so much with nine pieces of advice that she has given me over the years.

“When you live with other people, always be authentic; do things with love and from the heart, without looking for anything in return, this way you will cultivate healthy friendships, strong and sincere relationships and lasting family ties.”

“In the face of adversity, never believe that your dreams are difficult to achieve or impossible. Optimism will give you a strong impetus to move forward. Do not forget to put your feet on the ground, as this will give you the possibility to start and that your goals are always attainable.”

“The only way to know who we are is through the truth. Being honest with yourself is the best way to get to know yourself and what it is that you really want in your life. Honesty is directly related to authenticity, so it will be the best way to discover yourself.”

“I decided to marry for love. That was my only reason and I think it should always be for anyone who wants to join their life to another person in such a strong commitment. Love is an extremely powerful force that helps us build and grow as human beings. When I chose Carlos, I was young and totally in love, I didn't need any more reasons to decide."

“No one is taught to be a mother, but everything is easier with love. Trust yourself and be sure that you will take care of your little ones in the best way, because as a mother you will always want the best for them. Each woman is unique and that is also reflected in her motherhood, so with love, you will do well.”

“In three years I had four children and I think that the best way to achieve a pleasant coexistence among them while they were growing up was identifying that each one had their qualities and strengths. As unique people, I preferred that each one develop their talents and not make their differences a competition. When you respect and understand the personality of your children, they perceive it and develop better as human beings.”

“Deep inside us, there is always a strong passion that is not always easy to see. However, when there is something that excites you and sometimes does not even let you sleep, it is time to work and do everything to achieve it. I wanted to put my own name on my shoe brand and I knew that this implied a great responsibility, that it would offer quality and commitment to others and it would be my best way to leave a mark in this world.”

“Managing a business and a family in parallel is the biggest challenge I have ever faced. Nevertheless. The key to living in harmony is to be clear about our priorities. For me it was always my husband, my children and our business, which grew simultaneously and fed off each other."

“When you are passionate about something, it doesn't let you sleep, you are always thinking about possible scenarios, how you would solve the problems and more. When you walk down the street everything is related to this topic that you are passionate about. In my case, my two great loves are my family and fashion. Those are signs that life gives you so that you can create your own path and achieve your dream."

They say there is only one mother. They are the important women in our existence, since they gave us the most valuable thing we have, life. On my behalf and on behalf of the entire Regina Romero team, we wish that this Mother's Day you have a very special celebration next to the women who will leave the deepest mark on your lives.
