Twitter has been all abuzz this week with news that The Colbert Report suspended tapings on Wednesday and Thursday.  No reason was immediately available but the news emerged Friday that the tapings were reportedly canceled due to the ill health of Stephen Colbert’s mother.

On Monday, many Canadians will be celebrating Family Day, a statutory Holiday designed to celebrate families.  While I won’t be taking any time off this year in observance of Family Day, I will be spending Monday in the company of the people I love, as well as participating in the kick-off to a month long Virtual Summit that celebrates mothering.

I’m not a mother, have never been a mother and will likely never be a mother (other than to my adorable kitten, Bella) but that doesn’t mean that I don’t “get” the unique challenges faced by mothers who are also entrepreneurs (or fathers for that matter).  I have designed my business to be able to provide support to busy mompreneurs, as well as allow me the freedom to spend time with my own family.

And I’m lucky to work with many wonderful clients who recognize the importance of family and give me the flexibility to alter my schedule to meet the needs of my family.  After all, even Stephen Colbert recognizes that family means everything!
