As Mother’s Day approaches (mark your calendars – it’s May 9), pay tribute to your mom with a video on Beliefnet. Tell us how YOUR mother inspires YOU, and your story could be featured on Beliefnet for the holiday.

Here’s how:
1.    Not yet a member of Beliefnet Community? Click here to create your account.    

2.    Get in front of a video camera or webcam and record your thoughts on your mother’s impact on your life. What life lessons did she teach you? In what ways are you most like her? Did she encourage you to reach for a specific goal? Tell us why you’re celebrating mom on Mother’s Day.

3.    Once you’ve created your video, post it to your Beliefnet profile. On your profile page, click “Video” in the left-hand navigation, then choose “Upload Video.” Once you’ve uploaded your file, please title it “Mother’s Day Tribute.”

4.    Need inspiration? Check out all the videos our members have uploaded here: community.beliefnet.com/go/browse/videos.

If you’re camera shy, there are plenty of other ways to show your love for mom on Beliefnet. Try writing a journal post about what she means to you, or post photos of the two of you together. Check out these great photos of members and their moms.

We welcome Mother’s Day celebrations of many different types of relationships—if you have a grandmother, child, or special teacher or friend who inspired you, please share!

We look forward to watching your videos. Be sure to check back closer to Mother’s Day to see if your video is featured on Beliefnet.
