I second guess myself sometimes, and I wonder if kids hear or listen to what I say. This week Jackie was telling mom & I about her conversation with someone she cares deeply about, and how she was encouraging them to reframe their identity on a lasting foundation, not temporary objects, or what other people say. She can be incredibly inspiring. I was so encouraged by her clarity & conviction and I exclaimed: “you are so wise!” To which mom added “Jackie, I hear your mom’s words coming out of your mouth”. It was my favorite moment on our roadtrip.
Here I was, sandwiched between my mother in law and my daughter. The three of us don’t share the same dna. And yet we are family in the most profound way. Sharing everything we are and we know, everything we believe and we love… it changes us deeply. It transforms the mind & the heart.
