Maybe it&#8217;s because she had a lot in common with my own Mother! They both were named Teresa, and both were\u00a0hardworking\u00a0and compassionate Virgos. Virgos are known as the &#8216;Good Samaritans of the Zodiac&#8217; and with good reason too. They like to feel useful, are pragmatic, and busy themselves doing good, either for their family, animals, their work, their community, or as in the case of Mother Teresa, the poverty stricken\u00a0and homeless souls. As with all Saints, they leave their own needs for last, and beat themselves up the most!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/0CF9573B-9531-4850-8D3F-3FD3C493555D.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1700\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1700\" src=\"http:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/0CF9573B-9531-4850-8D3F-3FD3C493555D.jpeg\" alt=\"0CF9573B-9531-4850-8D3F-3FD3C493555D\" width=\"1206\" height=\"1102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/0CF9573B-9531-4850-8D3F-3FD3C493555D.jpeg 1206w, https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/0CF9573B-9531-4850-8D3F-3FD3C493555D-300x274.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/0CF9573B-9531-4850-8D3F-3FD3C493555D-768x702.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/0CF9573B-9531-4850-8D3F-3FD3C493555D-1024x936.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1206px) 100vw, 1206px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What I loved about Mother Teresa is that she was a mix of hard-nosed\u00a0businesswoman and soft- hearted\u00a0humanitarian. She could have run any company and whipped them all into shape! Good on her! She would meet with big businessmen and try and cut a good deal for the poor and then go out and actually feed the people. No sooner said than done \u2014 so acts your woman of worth!<\/p>\n<p>I would like to leave your today with one of my very favourite\u00a0Mother Teresa poems. Every time I read it, it\u00a0erases all irritations!
