Are you a daughter or a mother? Or maybe even both. Perhaps you've lost your mother or even a child.

This website is for you. It's all about mother-daughter relationships and the variations on that theme. Step-mother, step-daughter, grandmother, granddaughter, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and all the combinations.

What you'll find here. This website is a work in progress with a variety of resources developed from my education in psychology, my work as a professional counselor, feedback from participants at my seminars, and my experiences with my own mother and daughters. More about my credentials here.

You'll find features and articles in response to your questions or taken from my seminars to specifically address the needs of daughters, mothers and most difficult of all, daughters who've lost their mothers.

As I've matured, I've found myself remembering more of the stories and using more of the lessons I learned from my mother. Her only mission in life was to help people. So this site is dedicated to her with the prayer that it will help me to do the same.

I'll share some of my mother's stories and lessons and publish yours in my ezine called, amazingly, The Lilly Pond. It's free and it's a great way for you to stay up to date on the exciting things we'll be adding to the site. Sign up for your free subscription. Send me your story and you can help uplift others.

Join in a discussion in the forum we call Pond Talk. Please leave me your comments in the guest book. If you have specific questions, contact me by email. I'll respond in the Features and Articles area for everyone's benefit. And we can have some fun along the way.

When I present this topic in live seminars I know that most everyone is thinking, "You are going to talk about me getting along with MY mother? Well, good luck!"

Of course, a healthy mother-daughter relationship doesn't come through luck or magic. It's hard work and there are no guarantees. But this relationship is worth the effort.

We have good tools to work with.  We have the love and concern of many different women who want to help others. And most of all, we have God's Holy Spirit to guide us on this path. 

I wish the best for you and my prayer is that you will find what you need right here.

With all my heart,
Lillian
