Perhaps you could share with her why it means something to you, maybe explain to her that it's the inner peace that interests you, or whatever else it is thats interesting you in Buddhism. I have family that think Buddhism to be a weird thing to do but my close family are seeing that it's helped me to become at ease with myself and allowed me to develop equanimity. The main thing is to discuss it honesty without being defensive
