id you know that Mother’s Day is the third-largest card-
sending holiday in the United States? It’s true. According to Hallmark, roughly 113 million cards are exchanged every
year on Mother’s Day. But that’s not even the kicker. I went snooping around and found all sorts of Mother’s Day facts that absolutely blew my mind. For example, Americans spend just more than $28 billion on Mother’s Day gifts every year, making it the second-most popular holiday (yes … it is a holiday) for gift-giving — just behind Christmas. Also, Mother’s Day is always on the second Sunday in May (May 8 this year), but it actually falls on a different day each year. There are plenty more Mother’s Day factoids where those came from, but I’m just using them as a gentle reminder to please take the time to celebrate your mom this year. As a mother myself, I can’t help but reminisce and be thankful for how my husband, Scott, and our kids always go out of their way to make me feel like the best mother on earth – not just with the homemade gifts and expensive dinners on that single day but every day of the year. They really do spoil me, and the challenge I’m giving everyone this year is to do the same for your sweet mom. Our kids are lucky to have a mom and dad; that’s not the case with many families out there. I am certainly not trying to create a downer moment by saying that, but I am saying that we should all make sure to let mom know how important she is. Here are a few inspiring quotes I found online in honor of moms everywhere. “If love is as sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love,” — Stevie Wonder. “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” — Abraham Lincoln. “We are born of love; love is our mother.” — Rumi. Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mothers out there.

r. Javaria Jabeen says life is short and there’s not a moment to waste. She believes, as well as lives, every word of that sentiment.
Dr. Jabeen was 15 when she moved to the United States. She graduated high school in New Jersey and entered college to become a primary care family physician. At that moment, it was as if she tossed a rock into the sea of life and began following the concentric circles it produced. She chose to pursue certification as a DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) rather than an MD (Doctor of Allopathic Medicine). “Becoming a DO meant approximately 200 hours of additional study,” Dr. Jabeen explained. “A DO focuses on the entire person – mind, body, and spirit - to prevent injury or illness in the first place, rather than simply treating the symptoms after the problem occurs. This is why I evaluate a patient from head to toe. I want to treat everything, and not rely so heavily on a prescription pad. “Family is very important to me, which is why I wanted to be a primary care doctor.” Dr. Jabeen decided early on to establish her own practice rather than work for someone else. “I want to be the one to determine how much time I spend with my patients,” she said. “There’s nothing wrong with computers but so much of today’s medicine is a doctor not looking at, and not listening to, the patient. Instead, he’s tapping on a keyboard. I want the patient and me to be partners.

2021. The move was exactly “what the doctor ordered,” since it allowed all three entities - YZ Healthcare, RIA Aesthetics, and Renew Medical Weight Loss – to come together in one welcoming and soothing environment. It saves time and improves quality since it allows Dr. Jabeen to keep a close, personal eye on all three practices at the same time.
“It makes me feel especially good when they tell me they don’t feel as if they’re in a doctor’s office.”
Dr. Jabeen is only 37 years old, with a husband, a 10-year-old daughter, and six-year-old identical twin sons. She presides over a plate that’s too full for anyone else but, for her, there’s space for another ripple from that first stone. “We’re looking to hire immediately more aestheticians, laser techs, and massage therapists,” she announced. “We need them now and we’ll also need them when we branch out across the DFW metroplex in the next year with our med spa and weight loss program.”
