i've been watching my words
choosing them carefully
doesn't take much thought
as it shouldn't
i'm just more aware
so tonight
before bedtime
we talked
i told her mommy is not perfect
that i have been paying more attention
talking carefully
and i feel better already
she said:
"maybe sometimes when you need to say something,
it can be a little bit mean and a little bit nice.
but i don't know how to do that"
guess we are all human honey!
she is my mirror
i hope that what reflects is something beautiful
what reflects in your mirror?

Thank you so very much. I got your package yesterday and so much appreciate it. I had already been starting to get anxious about my niece's surgery tomorrow, and was so happy to find a box of love and kindness when I got home. I have already been snacking on trail mix today!
I am very impressed by this post also. I have noticed that there is nothing like being a parent to make me want to be a better person since I want to be a good example for them. Mine are only 1 and 3, but I see some of these differences already and wonder if I treat them differently. My youngest seems more spoiled because the oldest can understand more than he can.
you and Olivia are beautiful people and that reflects from
your heart and soul...and you are so alike...I so see you in her and that is a good thing! love, mom
